Manchester United's midfield rebuild is reportedly gathering fresh momentum, with the club said to have received encouragement over a potential move for a midfielder valued around £70m, according to EPL Index (Opta Stats).

The report indicates Ruben Amorim's side are continuing to explore options to reshape the middle of the park this summer, with Brighton's Carlos Baleba and Borussia Monchengladbach's Manu Kone both understood to remain live targets as United weigh up their priorities.

While the report doesn't confirm a deal is imminent, it suggests United have been given reason for optimism that a deal in this range could be achievable, as part of a broader push to strengthen a squad already undergoing significant summer changes.

Nothing is described as done, and neither player is named as the definitive priority target, but the signals point to United continuing serious groundwork on multiple midfield options as they look to bolster Amorim's engine room ahead of the new season.
