Manchester United have ‘made an attempt’ to reach out to Napoli midfielder Fabian Ruiz’s representatives over a potential transfer, according to reports in Italy. The Spain international playmaker has long been linked with a move to the Premier League but a switch to England has continued to elude him, despite links to Arsenal and Liverpool in the past.
“We need a good team, a good squad, to get the right results at the end of the season. We need to strengthen the squad even more, and we’re looking around, but we need the right players.”
United are expected to fall short in their attempts to sign Frenkie de Jong from Barcelona with the Holland international still expected to stay in Catalonia.
Alternative targets are yet to emerge although Youri Tielemans and Ruben Neves could yet fall under consideration.
Ruiz would represent an attractive option given that he can play both as a creative midfielder or a No 8 – something United are currently looking for having lost Paul Pogba.
West Ham have previously explored a deal for the Spaniard, who is reportedly at risk of being dropped to the fringes of the Napoli side next season due to his ongoing contract situation.
United have also lost Nemanja Matic as well as Jesse Lingard and Juan Mata, who have previously played in midfield as well as attack.
The Red Devils have received no indication that Declan Rice could be available this summer as West Ham continue to price their captain out of a move.
Jude Bellingham is another talented midfielder admired by United but Borussia Dortmund will not sell this summer.
