Manchester United's rumour mill is spinning again, this time around Eintracht Frankfurt midfielder Hugo Larsson, according to a report from EPL Index (Opta Stats).

The Swedish international has emerged as a name of interest at Old Trafford as United continue plotting reinforcements for their midfield ahead of the summer window. However, the report stresses that Frankfurt's stance is a crucial factor in how far any potential deal could progress, suggesting the Bundesliga club are not simply going to wave through their prized asset without resistance.

As ever with these early-stage links, there's no indication of an official approach, agreed fee, or personal terms being discussed. It remains, for now, speculation rather than substance - the kind of story that surfaces regularly as United continue to be linked with midfield options across Europe.

Whether Larsson becomes a genuine target or just another name in the transfer chatter will depend on how Frankfurt's position holds up if United's interest intensifies.
