Manchester United's search for a midfielder has returned to square one after Adrian Rabiot's deal collapsed.
The Frenchman is seen as an alternative to long-term target Frenkie de Jong, withPremier League teams Juventus between the players. United's poor start to the season underscores their need to acquire more players, with the quality of their central midfield cited as a weakness. After a setback, their recruiter may have to go back to the drawing board. United were willing to make the former PSG player one of their top earners at around £250,000 a week, but the player still wants more and the two sides seem to have walked away from an agreement.
United desperately need new targets and are already overwhelmed, leaving the club unprepared for the start of the new season. Some players may still be a viable option, and we'll see who we can target next.
Utility Lemans
TheLeicester man remains at King Power Stadium with his contract expiring. His run time is just under 12 months and Fox could benefit from a suitable offer, but when time runs out United will sooner or later have to act.
The Manchester outfit was associated with Tielemans when he first impressed Leicester during his loan move. The player opted to sign outright, but there was always the feeling that he would eventually move to a major club.United certainly suffered, but how the Belgian controlled the tempo of the game from midfield onwards.
Casemiro
Real Madrid's enforcers will have to accept a class drop, at least for the time being, and problems turn their backs on silverware as part of Old Trafford's rebuilding Ready or not. Casemiro was one of the most admired midfielders in modern Spain.
The Brazilian has been accused of using the arts of darkness in his career, but the bite is just now with United and Eric in a season that threatens to spiral out of control. Ten's hug is what he needs. Rafael Varán has proven that players want a transfer, and with the arrival of a new player at Los his whites, Casemiro may want a new challenge.
Ruben Neves
This was one of his more likely transfers in recent summers, but it never materialized. Neves continues to prove his quality at Molineux, even with an inconsistent Wolves squad. The biggest hurdle for United is Wolves' reluctance to sell and the valuation.
The Portuguese midfielder's transfer fee is touted as high as £60m for him, but he said he could pursue a new challenge at the end of last season. For now, he remains a Wolves player and with United desperate, the Midland club won't be lowering prices anytime soon.

United have long had Caicedo on their radar, dating back to his days at Independiente del Valle.

Widely regarded as one of the underrated stars of the Premier League. Although regarded, the biggest hurdle for United would be to get him out of his belovedSouthampton, where he spent his entire career. Ward-Prowse has become the heart of St Mary's midfield and has been in the spotlight in recent years.
The players themselves admit that they cannot do anything about speculation. With Ward-Prowse on his contract until 2026, it will take a huge offer to convince Southampton to sell, but the midfielder has a big advantage when it comes to set-pieces.
Sergey Milinkovic Savić
The Lazio midfielder looks forever linked with his league transfer to the Premier League already he is one man but he of clubs remain strong. Their president recently said, "We will sell Milinkovic for 50 million. We won't sell him for that amount. He deserves more. Our market is completely over." The Serbian has been a regular for us for several years now and his European experience will benefit United. Red demon.
