Louis van Gaal has confirmed that Manchester United are looking at a number of midfield options as links to Atletico Madrid midfielder Koke continue.
The Dutch boss has had to rely on Wayne Rooney to drop back and cover in midfield for a large part of season, whilst the likes of Michael Carrick and Daley Blind have struggled for fitness and form.
United are said to be keen to improve every area of their outfield positions over the summer transfer window and Van Gaal has confirmed that he will be actively looking to find a suitable midfielder.
The United boss told reporters: “Of course, of course.
“I am looking for balance and I need balance in midfield. When I play with [Adnan] Januzaj and [Angel] Di Maria in the midfield positions, then you need a certain balance for that kind of creative player.
“So, when you have these creative players – and also [Radamel] Falcao and [Robin] van Persie are creative players – then you have four creative players and you have to look for balance in your team.”
Links to Atletico Madrid midfielder Koke continue to be made and it is understood that the Spanish champions would be willing to sell if United made the right offer.
