Manchester United are reportedly considering Leeds United's Tyler Adams and Everton's Amadou Onana as alternatives to Fiorentina midfielder Sofyan Amrabat.

Manchester United have reportedly identified Leeds United's Tyler Adams and Everton's Amadou Onana as possible signings if they cannot secure the services of Sofyan Amrabat from Fiorentina.

The Morocco international caught the eye on the biggest stage of all at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, helping his nation reach the semi-finals before they were knocked out by 2018 winners France.

Amrabat also had an eventful campaign in terms of club football last term, guiding Fiorentina to the Europa Conference League final, although a late Jarrod Bowen goal meant that West Ham United lifted the trophy in Prague.

The 26-year-old has featured 107 times for Viola since making the switch from fellow Serie A outfit Hellas Verona in August 2020, scoring one goal over that three-year period.

According to the Daily Mail, Manchester United are considering other midfield options as the battle to lure Amrabat continues long into this summer transfer window.

It is understood that the Red Devils have held talks with Leeds' Adams ahead of a potential switch to Old Trafford, with the 24-year-old unlikely to stick around for Championship football at Elland Road this season.

The American international impressed during 24 Premier League starts for the Whites last term despite their relegation from the Premier League, and the player will be keen to play at the highest level to ensure his place in future national team squads.

The report also claims that Erik ten Hag's side are interested in Everton's Onana if a deal for first-choice midfielder Amrabat cannot be agreed before the end of the window.

Former Lille man Onana moved to Goodison Park in August 2022 and was a mainstay in a Toffees side which narrowly avoided a relegation which would have been the first for the club since the inception of the Premier League.

It was reported last week that Man United are yet to make an official bid for midfielder Amrabat, with the consensus being that the Red Devils will need to offload some first-team players before anyone else comes through the Old Trafford door.

Harry Maguire and Scott McTominay are two men who have been made available for a move away this summer, and former United boss David Moyes is supposedly hoping to bring both to West Ham.

The East Londoners have reportedly been planning a £60m double bid to lure the players to the London Stadium, with the Europa Conference League winners valuing both at around £30m.

Brazil international Fred is another midfielder who could depart the club in this window, with Premier League side Fulham and a host of Saudi Pro League outfits interested in recruiting the 30-year-old.

Ten Hag gave a Man United debut to Andre Onana during their penultimate pre-season friendly match against Athletic Bilbao on Saturday afternoon, and the Red Devils commence their 2023-24 campaign for real with the visit of Wolverhampton Wanderers on August 14.
