Manchester United are expected to strengthen the midfield department in 2026, with Angelo Stiller emerging as a target.
One area requiring investment at Manchester United is the midfield.
United signed five new players in the summer, with a clear emphasis on bolstering Ruben Amorim’s attacking options.
Even though Christian Eriksen left the club, as his contract expired at the end of the 2024/25 season, United overlooked the need to sign a new midfielder.
Amorim’s preferred options, Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro, aren’t getting younger, but they still have a huge influence on the team. Kobbie Mainoo has been unable to break into the team after losing his place under Amorim, while the jury is still out on Manuel Ugarte following his 2024 transfer from Paris Saint-Germain.
This has led to United being linked with multiple targets. It is understood that Ineos are aware of Carlos Baleba and Adam Wharton’s price tags, but they will also continue to monitor the market for alternative targets.
The latest name to join the list of midfielder targets is Angelo Stiller.
