Manchester United want to bring in a new midfielder this summer and could call on Jason Wilcox\u2019s history at Manchester City.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Attacking additions have been Manchester United\u2019s<\/a> focus early in the transfer window, though only one new face is on board.<\/p>\n

Matheus Cunha has joined United<\/a> and could be followed by Bryan Mbeumo as United continue to chase the Brentford forward.<\/p>\n

Brentford would love to keep Mbeumo<\/a>, but United are looking to get the attacker signed up in July.<\/p>\n

The attention will soon turn to other areas of the pitch, with reports suggesting United want to sign a midfielder on loan.<\/p>\n

Finding a quality midfield player available in a loan move won\u2019t be easy, and United may need to get creative in order to land a midfield addition.<\/p>\n

The name of Borussia Dortmund\u2019s Felix Nmecha has emerged as a potential midfield addition.<\/p>\n

Reports from just a few days ago suggested that United are keen to sign Nmecha<\/a> in a \u00a341million raid this summer.<\/p>\n

That would be a hefty outlay for United and one which may be difficult to sanction unless major sales are made.<\/p>\n

Jadon Sancho is one player United want to sell this summer, and an exchange involving Nmecha is staring Ineos in the face.<\/p>\n

From Dortmund\u2019s perspective, Jamie Gittens is poised to join Chelsea<\/a>, and a new left-sided winger will be needed this summer.<\/p>\n

Sebastian Kehl played down Dortmund\u2019s interest in Sancho<\/a> earlier this summer, suggesting that they had different priorities.<\/p>\n

That was before Chelsea ramped up their move for Gittens, though, and a left-sided wide man has suddenly become a priority again.<\/p>\n

Sancho has impressed for Dortmund in two separate spells, and returning to the German side again surely appeals to him as he seeks to get his career back on track.<\/p>\n

Dortmund have also just signed Jobe Bellingham<\/a>, meaning Niko Kovac is stacked with midfield options right now.<\/p>\n

Former United man Marcel Sabitzer may be at risk, but Nmecha would be a much more significant sale.<\/p>\n

United would also need to throw some cash in Dortmund\u2019s direction, but the idea of Sancho to Germany and Nmecha to Old Trafford certainly holds some weight.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Jason Wilcox knows Felix Nmecha well<\/strong><\/p>\n

Reports earlier this year suggested that people around the game expected United to focus on signing ex-Manchester City talents<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Jason Wilcox\u2019s<\/a> prominence at United comes after overseeing City\u2019s academy ranks, so he has familiarity with their former talents.<\/p>\n

United missed out on Liam Delap to Chelsea<\/a> as Wilcox failed in his attempts to reunite with the striker.<\/p>\n

Nmecha is another former City talent, and Wilcox may hope for better fortunes in this pursuit than with Delap.<\/p>\n

Nmecha certainly fits the bill as a box-to-box midfield player who can add legs in midfield, though United must be wary of his lengthy injury history.<\/p>\n

The 24-year-old won\u2019t come cheap, but attempting to send Sancho back to Dortmund, either in a direct swap or two separate transactions, could help United offset some of the cost.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Manchester United want to bring in a new midfielder this summer and could call on Jason Wilcox\u2019s history…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":28884,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[45],"tags":[24775,24776,24777,221,62,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-28883","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-soccer","8":"tag-felix-nmecha","9":"tag-jadon-sancho","10":"tag-jason-wilcox","11":"tag-soccer","12":"tag-sports","13":"tag-united-states","14":"tag-unitedstates","15":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114775995512823575","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28883","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=28883"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28883\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/28884"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=28883"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=28883"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=28883"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
