Manchester United have opened a monitoring file on United States international Tyler Adams as they explore cost-effective midfield reinforcements ahead of the January window. Fabrizio Romano reports Adams has emerged as a candidate to potentially succeed Casemiro, with the 20-time English champions viewing the Bournemouth midfielder as a more realistic, cheaper option than other targets.<\/p>\n
Sources suggest Adams could carry a manageable \u00a340 million ($53.5 million) price tag, but the fee may prove secondary. The Cherries reportedly \u201cinsist\u201d on keeping the USMNT midfielder and consider him a very \u201cimportant\u201d player. With the likelihood of Antoine Semenyo leaving Bournemouth, the club would be vulnerable if they also lost Adams.<\/p>\n
Manchester United continue to prioritise Carlos Baleba and Adam Wharton at the top of their midfield wishlist, and the club is expected to allow wantaway midfielder Kobbie Mainoo to leave this winter. Against that backdrop, Adams represents a cheaper alternative who can operate as the engine in front of the back line.<\/p>\n
Ruben Amorim and Manchester United will get a close look at Adams when Bournemouth visit Old Trafford on Monday evening. The match is also notable for Adams personally: he has fond early memories of the stadium and has spoken openly about its influence on his ambitions.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s just a special occasion,\u201d Adams said on the Men in Blazers podcast . \u201cThis is what you grow up watching, whether you\u2019re a fan or not. A fan of Manchester United walking into Old Trafford will change your perspective on everything.<\/p>\n
\u201cI played against Manchester United at Old Trafford during COVID[-19] with RB Leipzig. That was the first time I walked into Old Trafford and I was like, my dream is really to play in the Premier League because this is what it\u2019s about right here.<\/p>\n
\u201c… Now being able to go back and play there multiple times and have good results, especially makes it a little bit better. So yeah, I always get excited to play against United.\u201d<\/p>\n
Adams, who won November\u2019s Premier League Goal of the Month for his 47-yard strike against Sunderland, will be aiming for a commanding display to reinforce his standing as a realistic January target.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
