Manchester United have devised a seven-man midfield shortlist ahead of next summer, according to a report.
The Red Devils, who suffered their latest setback in the Premier League on Monday night with a disappointing 1-0 loss to Everton, are keen to bolster Ruben Amorim's squad at the next available opportunity.
United are not expected to invest heavily during the January transfer window after splashing out £225million last summer on the likes of Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko - but have already started thinking ahead to next summer.
