Erik ten Hag is eager to bring Aurelien Tchouameni to Manchester United this summer with the Monaco starlet favouring a move away from France.
Ajax boss ten Hag is understood to have agreed a deal to become the new permanent United boss this summer.
The Dutchman shared his vision for the club and shared his thoughts on the current United squad during a lengthy interview process last month.
While United’s recruitment department has been finalising a shortlist of targets that is said to include West Ham United’s Declan Rice and Leeds United’s Kalvin Phillips, ten Hag will be allowed to suggest his own targets.
ESPN report Tchouameni is among them with ten Hag a huge admirer of the 22-year-old France international with his versatility appealing to the Dutchman.
While the midfielder is among the most highly-rated youngsters in Europe, United could have an advantage in their attempts to bring him to Manchester.
While Paris Saint-Germain are also interested in his services, Tchouameni would prefer to join a club outside of France, according to the report. Chelsea are also keen but uncertainty of their ownership could hand United another boost.
Monaco are open to selling their prized asset this summer and would be willing to accept a fee between €60million and €70million.
Tchouameni could be an ideal replacement for Paul Pogba who is entering the final months of his contract at Old Trafford.
