Beth Tucker from The United Standhas given her opinion on which midfielders Manchester United should look to sign in the summer.
"I think they need to sign two, or potentially even three midfielders. The three I would go and get are…
"Elliot Anderson – I know that Manchester City are going to go massive on getting him, but if Manchester United can do anything to go and get him then they need to. Go and pitch that you are going to anchor the midfield and lead United back to glory, back to league titles and competing in the Champions League.
"He has got every attribute to compliment Kobbie Mainoo and be a top Premier League midfielder. He has proven he can do it going forward and he can take the next step up. He's combative and his energy levels are ridiculous and he reads the game really well. He has to be the top target.
"My second pick is Bruno Guimaraes. People might say that's not realistic but I think he is gettable. Newcastle look unlikely to make the Champions League this season, therefore, they will have to sell and some players will be looking for a way out.
"I'm not saying he's looking for a way out, but he's 28 years old, and I think he can step into that experienced role Casemiro has had and leaving behind. Guimaraes is excellent in the Premier League and he's looking to play Champions League football at a pivotal part of his career.
"Just look at Bruno Fernandes, he's 31 years old and he's playing some of the best football of his career. He's aged like fine wine. So someone like Guimaraes could go on to have some excellent years.
"The third player I would go in for is Mateus Fernandes from West Ham. If they get relegated, you could probably get him for a reasonable price. They paid about £43m for him last summer so it won't be ridiculously cheap, but when you are talking about some people in his position [midfield], you are looking at crazy price tags.
"Manchester United better get their chequebook out!"
