Having splashed the cash ahead of the new season, the Red Devils could be ready to spend big again.

Here, SunSport runs through five central midfielders who may pop up on United's radar next summer.

Declan Rice

According to ESPN, the West Ham star is top of Solskjaer's wishlist.

The Hammers want north of £80million and hope to dispel the rumours by agreeing a contract renewal past Rice's current 2024 expiry date.

Should the player be serious about a move, he may reject the offer to spark a bidding war between United, Chelsea and Manchester City.

The Wolves midfielder attracted interest from the Red Devils and Arsenal during the summer window.

Now in his fifth season at Molineux, the 24-year-old may consider a move away at the end of the campaign.

But United will have to convince the Premier League club to part with one of the mainstays of their recent rise.

Brighton have done well to keep Mali international Bissouma amid links with Liverpool and Arsenal.

As reported by Metro, United are ready to join the race for the £40m-rated star.

Now in the final two years of his contract, any prospective bidder may have to get in soon and sign him in January - or risk rivals getting involved.

Certainly not a widely-known name until very recently, Tchouameni has broken out at Monaco as a big star of the future.

The 21-year-old made his France debut last week and The Athletic claim he has admirers in England.

Chief among which are Chelsea, although the Red Devils could push ahead in the queue after Paul Pogba raved about the 'extraordinary' youngster.

Leicester fans would reasonably shirk at any suggestion of them losing midfield general Ndidi.

The 24-year-old has constantly been among the stats leaders for tackles and interceptions since his 2017 arrival from Genk.
