Manchester United loaded their squad with reinforcements at the top this summer (and on the line). Now it’s the midfielder’s turn. Two big signings are due in 2026, six players are candidates to be brought in to take control of the midfield for Man Utd.
According to talkSport, United are targeting two midfield reinforcements, two players who will bring new energy, speed and quality to Ruben Amorim in the link between defence and attack.

Carlos Baleba and Adam Wharton have been linked to the Red Devils for the past six months, in recent weeks Elliot Anderson has been promoted as a hot candidate. It doesn’t stop there. According to the English media, three more strong candidates are on the list.
Angelo Stiller
Stuttgart’s Stiller is another name to keep an eye on, and it is believed that he is tempted by a move to the Premier League. United did not make a bid during the summer, but are keeping an eye on the 24-year-old German international.
Stiller has a buyout clause of around £35 million, but Stuttgart could pay a fee of around £1.5 million to remove it from his contract.
Conor GallagherConor Gallagher
could possibly be on the move in January, and is a more feasible name to get in mid-season compared to other targets.
United made a summer loan request for the midfielder, but Atletico Madrid were only willing to approve a permanent sale.
Gallagher is open to a return to England, having struggled for minutes this season.
Although he has played nine LaLiga games, he has yet to start and finish a match.
Atletico are demanding a transfer fee of over £35 million, while United still prefer a loan clause if they are to rekindle interest.
Andrey Santos
Chelsea’s Andrey Santos is another ambitious United target. The Brazilian was discussed at the start of the talks, which eventually led to Alejandro Garnacho moving to Stamford Bridge for £40 million without a player having to be changed.
Santos has made eight appearances in all competitions this season after an impressive loan spell at Chelsea’s sister club Strasbourg last season.
