France star Manu Kone is just one name on Manchester United’s list of premium midfield targets.The Red Devils have made the centre of the park a priority position this summer, already snapping up Youri Tielemans and Andrey Santos from Premier League rivals Aston Villa and Chelsea.Manu Kone and Aurelien Tchouameni are both on Man United’s radar, having been teammates all summer with FranceGettyTheir transfer activity comes as Michael Carrick looks to bolster his squad ahead of the club’s return to the Champions League in the upcoming season.And United could continue their business by turning their attention to two midfielders from France’s recent World Cup campaign.According to talkSPORT’s Chief Transfer Correspondent Alex Crook, they are keen on both Real Madrid star Aurelien Tchouameni and Roma’s Kone.With the Spanish giants looking to snap up Manchester City‘s World Cup-winning captain Rodri, newly-appointed boss Jose Mourinho is reportedly open to selling Tchouameni to free up funds for this.talkSPORT understands Rodri is pushing for a move to the Santiago Bernabeu, who has just a year left on his City contract.But while United striking up a deal for Tchouamni would help Real here, he isn’t the only Frenchman on their wish list.talkSPORT previously reported that the Red Devils had made an enquiry about Kone, who impressed in the heart of France’s midfield at the World Cup and is expected to leave Roma this summer.Take Tchou?With reports linking United with both Tchouameni, as well as his Real Madrid teammate Eduardo Camavinga, talkSPORT’s Chief Football Correspondent revealed on Friday’s Breakfast that Kone is another of the club’s midfield targets.Crook said: “Kone as well [is a target].“They’ve got an extensive list. I am confident they will sign one more midfielder between now and the end of the window.Michael Carrick is currently overseeing his first transfer window as Man United bossGettyFresh from winning the World Cup, Rodri is key to any deal involving Tchouameni at UnitedGetty“For now, they are just keeping their powder dry and hoping some prices come down because it’s a long time until the Premier League season starts.“What Manchester United don’t want to do is commit the mistakes of previous years and end up overpaying.“I think the two they’ve got in for £85million combined – Andrey Santos and Youri Tielemans – is a good start.”United have focused on bolstering their midfield this summer after the departure of veteran star Casemiro, who has joined Inter Miami.Manuel Ugarte was also expected to be sold, but he is now facing a lengthy spell on the sidelines after suffering a serious knee injury at the World Cup with Uruguay, meaning the Red Devils need to rebuild in the position either way.The signing of either Kone or Tchouameni would certainly bring plenty of pedigree, with both having showcased their ability at the highest level.Manu Kone’s ball-carrying abilities are admired by United boss Michael CarrickGettyKone started in four of his five World Cup appearances for France this summer, as they reached the semi-finals.Having joined Roma last summer, he also shone in his debut season, playing 29 Serie A games to help his side to Champions League qualification.Meanwhile Tchouameni was in the starting XI in Les Bleus’ 2022 World Cup final defeat to Argentina, and boasts the 2024 Champions League among his silverware with Real Madrid.Crook: Man United not done yetWhile Crook praised United for their shrewd business so far, he admitted there are still areas where they must strengthen.He continued: “They do need another midfielder. They probably need another left-back as well.”“[Newcastle full-back] Lewis Hall is on their radar, because Luke Shaw is not going to play every minute of every game, certainly not when you’re factoring the Champions League as well. Michael Carrick is currently overseeing his first transfer window as Man United bossGetty“And I think they probably need another forward, because in an ideal world, you’d move on Joshua Zirkzee and bring in someone a bit more prolific. “
