According to The Sun, incoming
Manchester United manager Erik ten
Hag is interested in signing Southampton
midfielder James Ward-Prowse this summer.
With many departures, the Red Devils
are set for a major reconstruction ahead
of next season, and a new defensive
midfielder might be one of the top objectives.
Paul Pogba has no plans to extend
his contract beyond June 30, while
Namenja Matic has indicated that
he will leave at the conclusion of the season.
Declan Rice of West Ham United has been
linked with a move to Old Trafford in
recent weeks, but The Sun says that a deal
is exceedingly unlikely.
Rice's price tag of £150 million has prompted
United to explore elsewhere. Ward-Prowse
has now established himself as a best free
kick taker after Beckham.
