Manchester United are pushing forward with their summer transfer business as the club looks to reshape the squad ahead of the new campaign.
A fee of £45m has reportedly been agreed for Manu Kone, signalling the club’s intent to add midfield reinforcements this window.
Kone has been a prominent figure in European football and would represent a significant acquisition for United as they look to rebuild.
The French midfielder has attracted attention from several clubs, making United’s reported agreement all the more notable if confirmed.
Alongside the Kone pursuit, United are said to be plotting a move for Crystal Palace striker Jean-Philippe Mateta as they seek attacking options.
Mateta established himself as one of the Premier League’s more consistent forwards last season, contributing goals and physical presence up front.
His potential arrival would signal United’s desire to address their attacking shortcomings following a difficult and turbulent period for the club.
United’s recruitment team have been active in identifying targets across multiple positions as the club attempts a comprehensive overhaul.
Crysencio Summerville is also said to be on the radar, adding another name to what is shaping up to be a busy summer at Old Trafford.
The Dutch winger impressed during his time in the Premier League and would offer United creativity and pace on the flanks.
United supporters will be eager for the club to move decisively in this transfer window after a season that failed to meet expectations on multiple fronts.
The reported deals, if completed, would demonstrate the club’s ambition to return to the upper reaches of the Premier League table as quickly as possible.
