Manchester United are aiming to bolster their midfield with a free-agent, as per Le Figaro.
The Red Devils signed Manuel Ugarte from Paris Saint-Germain on deadline day last month and he is expected to make his debut after the international break.
The Uruguayan star is likely to become the club’s first-choice from the number six role, but United remain interested in securing the signature of Adrien Rabiot.
Rabiot is also on the radar of Newcastle United and Barcelona, but the latter are not in a position to meet the midfielder’s demands amid their ongoing financial problems.
The Frenchman continues to be managed by his mother. It is claimed that she is looking for a package of more than £162,000 per week for the former Juventus star.
Rabiot was on £147,000 per week during his time in Turin.
United unlikely to make contract offer to Rabiot
The Red Devils offloaded multiple players during the recent summer transfer window, but they did not find any suitable offers for Christian Eriksen or Casemiro.
