Since the summer, the Red Devils have scouted various midfielders in the Premier League in a bid to shore up weaker parts of their line-up. Crystal Palace playmaker Adam Wharton and Brighton executive Carlos Baleva have already been linked, but their high valuations could be a stumbling block.<\/p>\n<p>Adams could therefore emerge as a more realistic option for the club as the January transfer window approaches. According to the Daily Mail, the 26-year-old is being discussed as a potential midfield signing for United either in January or next summer. He has previously expressed a preference for playing at Old Trafford and is likely to jump at the chance to represent United.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>He said: &#8220;This is just a special occasion. Whether you&#8217;re a fan or not, you grow up watching this.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When a Manchester United fan walks into Old Trafford, they see everything differently. I played against Manchester United with RB Leipzig at Old Trafford during the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I first walked into Old Trafford, I thought, my dream is to play in the Premier League, because this is the Premier League.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s a little bit better now especially because I&#8217;ve been able to go back there and play a lot and have had some good results. So it&#8217;s always exciting to play against United.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Adams could join the Reds with academy graduate Koby Mainu potentially inching towards the exit door.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>The 20-year-old has had limited appearances under the Portuguese manager this season and is yet to make a start in the Premier League.<\/p>\n<p>United manager Ruben Amorim has advised Maynou to approach him directly if he wants to leave in January.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Team comes first, and if Coby comes to me and talks to me, I&#8217;m going to talk to him,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m not going to say anything to Koby, but I would be really happy if Koby came to talk to me about it. I just want the players to be happy and I understand that each player has their own goals.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Frustration doesn&#8217;t help anyone. But again, the focus is on this game and let&#8217;s see if it happens.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I had some conversations with him and some other players, especially last year, but no on that. I didn&#8217;t talk to him.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/sport\/football\/2146907\/Man-Utd-transfer-Kobbie-Mainoo\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Manchester United are reportedly considering a January move for Bournemouth midfielder Tyler Adams, who is said to be worth around \u00a340 million.
