(Credit: Imago) Sun 22 March 2026 8:30, UK Manchester United are “seriously considering” a move to sign Real Madrid star Eduardo Camavinga should he become available, sources have told Football Insider.The 23-year-old has spent five years at Los Blancos after joining from Rennes in 2021, but has never managed to establish himself as a regular starter.So far this season, he has featured 33 times, but largely as a utility player as he has filled in at left-back, left-mid and his more natural central midfield role.As I revealed on the latest edition of Football Insider’s Transfer Insider podcast, sources say Man United are one of a number of European clubs keeping tabs on his situation.Real Madrid have yet to make a decision about the France international’s future, and it remains possible he could stay, but he could now be part of Man United’s transfer plans. 🔄 Man United Transfer Update 🔄 Breaking news on deals in progress, signing scoops, departures, and contract news from the United boardroom.

He’s got good energy, he can run with the ball, he’s a good passer and he would bring huge experience and class.“But I think there are a number of clubs willing to sign him this summer.”Who else is on Man United’s list of midfield targets?Camavinga’s potential availability could tempt United to change their transfer plans, but they have already established a number of targets for the midfield role.Casemiro’s exit at the end of the season as well as speculation about Manuel Ugarte’s future has made them accelerate their plans, and their top target is now clear.Credit: ImagoFormer Old Trafford chief scout Mick Brown told Football Insider on 20 March that Elliot Anderson is Man United’s top target despite rival interest in his signature.Both Man City and Liverpool have been heavily linked with moves to sign the England international, but Michael Carrick’s side have a plan for his long-term future.United feel they can transform the Nottingham Forest star into one of the best midfielders in the world should they be able to lure him in.
