Manchester United are plotting a summer midfield overhaul, with club legend Ryan Giggs endorsing two Premier League stars as potential targets. The Red Devils are expected to be active in the transfer market, particularly in midfield, with Casemiro set to leave and Manuel Ugarte's future uncertain.
Giggs has given his seal of approval to Crystal Palace's Adam Wharton, describing him as a 'Man United player' who can handle the ball and drive forward. Speaking to Webby & O'Neill, the former winger also praised Nottingham Forest's Elliot Anderson, saying he could see a midfield pairing of Wharton and Anderson alongside Kobbie Mainoo.
United are reportedly keen to avoid a bidding war for Anderson, whose value could soar after a potential strong World Cup campaign with England. The club may look to replicate last summer's strategy of swift early deals, having secured Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo quickly for a combined £133.5m.
Both Wharton and Anderson are seen as long-term investments, with Giggs noting that British players command high fees. United are prepared to spend significantly, with the pair potentially costing around £100m combined, as they aim to secure Champions League football for next season.
