Manchester United could sign a midfielder before the transfer window closes at the end of August, according to reports.

The Red Devils have had a successful summer so far, signing Jadon Sancho and Raphael Varane to significantly bolster Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's squad.

Sancho was always United's priority in this summer's window, having failed to land him in 2020.

There have not been too many rumours of another player on the way to Old Trafford this summer, but United's business might not be done yet.

The story suggests Yves Bissouma, who is valued at £30m by Brighton, is a player who could be a good fit for United.

United's interest in a midfielder therefore depends on whether they can shift fringe members of Solskjaer's squad.
