Some Top players Manchester United must be looking for this Summer: Fabrizio Romano.
Manchester United should really sign a defensive midfielder who can play as the sole number three in a single pivot this season. With Erik ten Hag expected to use a 4-3-3 formation, it is critical that they get this signing right. In order to fit into Ten Hag's system, the player must also be able to play in a single pivot. Because Nemanja Matic will be leaving Old Trafford this summer, it appears that United will look to sign a central defensive midfielder.
Before signing Cristiano Ronaldo, the general consensus among fans was that the club should look for a midfielder. Although Manchester United placed second last season, it was clear that the partnership of Fred and McTominay had flaws. It has become plentifully clear that in order for United to compete with their rivals, they require a number six player. Let's take a look at three defensive midfielders who United should consider signing.
Manchester United had already discussed the possibility of signing Kalvin Phillips internally, according to Fabrizio Romano. With Leeds United fighting for relegation, this could be a deciding factor in whether the club pursues this deal further.
If Leeds are relegated to the Championship, the price tag appears to be significantly reduced, which may play a decisive role in whether or not this transfer occurs. While Phillips has been sidelined for much of the season due to injury, he has demonstrated the quality as well as ability to play as a holding midfielder.
Phillips also shone at the Euros last year, playing in a double pivot with Declan Rice. Throughout the tournament, he was one of England's best players. However, international football is not the same as club football, as evidenced by the poor performances of Harry Maguire and Luke Shaw this season. Phillips, on the other hand, possesses the necessary qualities, such as brilliant ball-progression and strong defensive capabilities, to be effective for Manchester United under Ten Hag.

2.Neves, Ruben
Manchester United are also reportedly interested in Ruben Neves; however, this will be a more difficult deal to complete.
Last summer, the club was linked with the Portuguese international. Ruben Neves is a talented player who possesses the qualities required to be an effective defensive midfielder in a three-man midfield. While the deal is likely to be complicated, it appears that moving to Manchester United will satisfy Neves.
He has been a Premier League player for several years and will have no trouble with the physicality of the role. This is a quality United lacks with their current options, Fred and McTominay, as Rangnick stated during a press conference in January.
3.Declan Rice
Declan Rice has long been a Manchester United target. The asking price is thought to be around £150 million. This is a clear deterrent, and his position as West Ham's captain means this will be a difficult transaction to complete. However, according to Mark Ogden, not many clubs are interested in signing the England international. This implies Manchester United has a clear and open path to bringing in this signing. He has the qualities needed and the profile of the player that United requires.
Rice was also outstanding for England at the Euros last year, but he has also had an excellent season for West Ham. He has demonstrated exceptional consistency and has performed admirably in the Premier League over the last few years. In terms of attitude and standards, he appears to be the type of character who can come in and make a positive impact on the locker room. Rice is the best player with the most potential of the three options we've looked at and has established himself as a brilliant defensive midfielder.
