Tyler Adams: Man Unitedâs plot to sign Bournemouth star unveiled
Manchester United are lining up a summer swoop to sign AFC Bournemouth enforcer Tyler Adams in a shock twist for the expected midfield overhaul, according to Ben Jacobs.
The Red Devils are prioritising reinforcements in the engine room with Casemiroâs time at Old Trafford drawing to an end and Manuel Ugarte failing to impress in his stead.
Two big-money recruits are expected to arrive to bolster the midfield, with Kobbie Mainoo considered a cornerstone of the INEOS project, despite the 21-year-old starlet having come close to leaving during Ruben Amorimâs reign of terror.
Bruno Fernandes, bizarrely trialled under the Portuguese coach as a box-to-box midfielder, has been restored to his rightful throne as the teamâs No.10 by Michael Carrick, who took charge as caretaker in the wake of Amorimâs dismissal in January.
The Portugal international has been red-hot in this more familiar role, returning three goals and nine assists in 11 appearances with Carrick in the dugout. With six games of the season remaining, is just four assists away from .
Manchester United is looking to strengthen their midfield as Casemiro's tenure at the club is nearing its end.
Tyler Adams is known for his defensive capabilities and could provide the necessary reinforcement in the midfield.
Casemiro's time at Manchester United is reportedly coming to an end, prompting the search for a replacement.
In addition to Tyler Adams, Manchester United has shown interest in Manuel Ugarte, although he has not impressed so far.

The focus for United this summer is fortifying the pairing behind their talismanic leader with two signings, as a 4-2-3-1 shape is expected to remain in place irrespective of who is head coach next season.
But, interestingly, Jacobs contends a third midfielder could be added if a cost-effective deal presents itself â with contact already made with Adamsâ camp over a summer switch to Old Trafford.
Speaking to the United Stand, Jacobs reveals Unitedâs interest in a number of cheap midfielders suggests they are ânot ruling out adding threeâ to their ranks.
The talkSPORT reporter then directly references Adams as a player the Red Devils held âinitial conversationsâ with in January as a precursor to a deal this summer. His midfield partner at the Vitality Stadium, Alex Scott, is mentioned as another target in the clubâs crosshairs.
United are understood to be interested in Adams as he is a physical box-to-box monster, capable of hard yards and relentless pressing. The United States international, set to play a key role for his country at the World Cup, has even drawn comparisons to NâGolo KantĂ©.
A price tag of just ÂŁ30 million has been mooted as Bournemouthâs asking price, constituting a much cheaper deal than the ones United have been quoted for their primary targets, including Elliot Anderson (Nottingham Forest) and Sandro Tonali (Newcastle United).
The fact that the groundwork over a potential move is already in place further strengthens the allure of targeting Adams, in much the same way last yearâs overture to sign Brighton juggernaut Carlos Baleba is expected to make a fresh approach easier this summer.
Itâs clear INEOS are attempting to recreate the Premier League-proven approach they took to fixing the sideâs misfiring attack last summer. Both Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo mirror the profile of midfield targets this summer, with the club only looking abroad for a younger player if they are considered an outstanding talent, such as Benjamin Sesko and Senne Lammens.
If United want to completely revamp their stalling engine room with three new additions that all tick this box, a cheaper option like Adams makes sense as the third signing after two big-money recruits are prioritised first.
