After Manchester United made a bid for the Real Madrid midfielder, Aurelien Tchouameni, Erik ten Hag has reportedly kept his word to the player.

With the additions of Rasmus Hojlund, Andre Onana, and Mason Mount this season, the Red Devils have already made significant investments in their first team.

However, it has been widely reported that Ten Hag is still trying to close deals for a midfielder and a center defender before the transfer market closes.

With Manchester United prepared for the likely exits of Fred and Scott McTominay, Sofyan Amrabat of Fiorentina appears to be their top target in the midfield.

Numerous teams in Europe are interested in Fred, while West Ham had a £30 million offer for Scotland international McTominay rejected.

Furthermore, assuming all works out, Tchouameni of Real Madrid is said to still be Ten Hag’s top choice for the midfield position this summer.

Tchouameni, who has also been linked to Liverpool, started 24 of Real’s 38 La Liga games last season and is worried that Jude Bellingham’s entry could further knock him down the ladder.

And now Spanish newspaper Nacional claims that Man Utd has made a €70 million (£60 million) offer for Tchouameni in the hopes that it ‘would be enough’ to persuade Real Madrid president Florentino Perez to sell.

Ten Hag allegedly “contacted” the France international “a few weeks ago” and “promised him that he would do everything possible to get him out of Real Madrid,” according to reports.

The 23-year-old ‘thanked’ the Dutchman but’refused to make a choice until there was an agreement between the two teams’.

Tchouameni may now need to make a choice because the report claims that Man Utd has made an offer to Ten Hag because they are “convinced” that the Frenchman is a “necessary reinforcement.”

The former Monaco midfielder is allegedly their new “priority,” and it is “Madrid’s turn to respond” to the Red Devils.

Tchouameni should be sold, according to the report, if Ancelotti refuses to play him this season. The Italian manager is fortunate to have a strong midfield.

The Real Madrid star’must also show his intentions’ to Man Utd and Ten Hag since he’still hasn’t made it plain if he wants to continue at Madrid, or if he chooses to transfer to the Premier League.
