Manchester United is gearing up for another significant move in the transfer market, aiming to disrupt AC Milan’s deal for Youssouf Fofana from Monaco.
The Red Devils have been active this summer, securing striker Joshua Zirkzee and defender Leny Yoro. Now, they are targeting the French midfielder to further strengthen their squad.
According to RMC, Fofana has already agreed personal terms with AC Milan, but United’s interest could complicate matters. Get French Football News reports:

“Both Manchester United and AC Milan are interested in the France international. Monaco, however, is holding out for offers no less than €35m for the former Strasbourg man.”
United’s pursuit of Fofana aligns with their strategy to reinforce their midfield amid uncertainties surrounding the futures of Casemiro and Scott McTominay. Casemiro is linked with a move to the Saudi Professional League, while McTominay is attracting interest from clubs across Europe, including the Turkish Super Lig.
As Manchester United continues their strong pre-season form, highlighted by a recent 2-0 victory over Rangers, the potential signing of Fofana could significantly impact Erik ten Hag’s team. With the transfer window heating up, all eyes are on Old Trafford to see if they can successfully hijack this deal.
