Man Utd close to sign 21-year-old player as Pogba replacement

Manchester United are weighing up a move for Aurelien Tchouameni this summer transfer.

According to an interview done by Duncan Castles on Reach PLC’s Transfer Window Podcast (h/t The Express)

Manchester United are eyeing a transfer for Aurelien Tchouameni, and a deal could take place soon.

The midfielder was an important player for Monaco last season as he racked up 42 appearances

in all competitions while he also scored 3 goals in that process.

Although Chelsea were linked with the player initially, the Red Devils could also orchestrate a move for the Frenchman.

Talking on Reach PLC’s Transfer Window Podcast (h/t The Express), Duncan Castles talked about Tchouameni’s situation

However, how the 21-year-old is being eyed as a long-term replacement by United for Paul Pogba.

He said (h/t The Express):

“Manchester United,[Tchouameni] very much falls within their scouting remit,”

“He is an obvious fit for Manchester United if the change in midfield happens that we’ve been talking about for so long

which is that Paul Pogba doesn’t sign a new contract at Man United or is sold this summer.

“If they have that space in their squad created by Pogba, then Tchouameni is one of the options to replace”.
