Manchester United will consider alternative options for the attacking midfield position this summer amid competition from Tottenham Hotspur for the signature of Bryan Mbeumo. United are still considered favourites to sign the French playmaker but the appointment of Thomas Frank as Spurs boss makes a move to North London more appealing for the forward.
It remains to be seen what will happen next with Mbeumo but United are adamant they will not overpay for the 25-year-old and have no wish to entertain protracted talks for his signature. That could lead United to look at alternatives, with several options available to Ruben Amorim this summer.
Here is a look at eight of the other options available to United as they look to sign a second attacking midfielder after they completed a deal for Matheus Cunha.
5. Maghnes Akliouche
Akliouche shone with Monaco last season and could be the perfect addition to the United squad. He is another player who could be used in a central role or out wide. | AFP via Getty Images
6. Xavi Simons
United have long been linked with a move for Simons and it is reported he will be allowed to leave RB Leipzig this summer. He is another worth consideration. | Getty Images
7. Morgan Rogers
Aston Villa are adamant Rogers is not for sale but they need to sell someone to address their tight financial situation. United could have a clear run at him given Man City and Liverpool have both already signed new attacking midfielders this summer. | Getty Images
8. Morgan Gibbs-White
Gibbs-White was a target for Man City this summer but they moved to sign Rayan Cherki instead. A move for the Nottingham Forest star could appeal and he is a proven star in the Premier League. | Getty Images
