Mamadou Sangare: United vs Chelsea for midfield gem Manchester United will need to recruit more than one midfielder in the summer if the latest rumours are true. Casemiro has already announced his departure once the current campaign concludes, and despite his resurgent form and the club’s fanbase and his teammates urging him to stay, a U-turn is not expected. Then there is Manuel Ugarte .

Signed as the Brazilian ‘s successor, the Uruguayan has proven to be a major dud, and INEOS are determined to cut their losses once the transfer window opens. This effectively means the Red Devils will need at least two new midfield signings, and the plan is to sign an elite Premier League-proven midfielder for the first profile. Mamadou Sangare emerges as a solid option The likes of Elliot Anderson of Nottingham Forest and Newcastle’s Sandro Tonali are among the top targets, with both expected to cost a bomb.

Both are unlikely to be recruited due to the costs involved; hence, the co-owners are keeping multiple low-cost backup options ready. One among them is RC Lens’ midfield enforcer, Mamadou Sangaré. The Malian has proven to be a revelation since signing for the Ligue 1 side last summer.

The 23-year-old has made 27 appearances in all competitions for the French side, registering three goals and as many assists in the process. What a season Mamadou Sangare is having His tremendous form has seen Lens occupy second spot in the Ligue 1 table, with The Blood and Gold pushing Paris Saint-Germain all the way. Naturally, the Malian’s form has attracted the interest of bigwigs including United, their Premier League rivals Chelsea, and Juventus.
