Man United’s French contingent already includes the likes of Paul Pogba, Raphael Varane and Anthony Martial.

But fans are now clamouring for the signing of Monaco’s exciting young midfielder Aurélien Tchouaméni, who impressed for France in his international debut against Ukraine alongside Paul Pogba.

The wonderkid was a vital part of the Monaco team that finished third in Ligue 1 last season, making 36 league appearances.

The 21-year-old has also been linked with a move to Chelsea, but the London club has since signed Atletico Madrid midfielder Saul on loan with an option to buy, effectively putting them out of the race.

With Real Madrid also signing Tchouaméni’s international teammate Eduardo Camavinga, United could be in pole position for his signature, should they choose to pursue him in the summer.
