Manchester United are reportedly keen on completing a summer deal for Feyenoord midfielder Antoni Milambo.
The middle of the park could be an area of the pitch United look to strengthen, amidst the need to find players that perfectly suit Ruben Amorim’s preferred 3-4-3 system.
There is also uncertainty over the long-term future of Christian Eriksen and Casemiro and if the two leave, they will almost certainly need to be replaced.
Some of the midfielders United have been linked to include Morten Hjulmand (Sporting Lisbon), Hugo Larsson (Eintracht Frankfurt], Malik Tillman (PSV Eindhoven), Douglas Luiz (Juventus) and Angel Gomes (Lille).
Now, Sky Germany journalist Florian Plettenberg reveals that United are also interested in Feyenoord’s Antoni Milambo.
Plettenberg wrote on X, ” Antoni Milambo is considered a future transfer target for Manchester United.”
“The 19-year-old midfield talent from Feyenoord has been on their list for a long time, has been discussed internally multiple times, and continues to be closely monitored.”
“He fits perfectly into the profile that will be sought in the future.”
“The Red Devils have gathered information on him. He is already on their shortlist for the upcoming summer. Contract until 2027.”

Milambo is a Netherlands U19 international of Congolese origins. He was born and raised in Rotterdam, so the fact that he plays for Feyenoord shouldn’t really be a surprise.
The teenager is already a regular starter for the Eredivisie giants. So far this term, he has made 16 appearances, scoring an impressive six goals in that period.
Milambo primarily plays as a central midfielder but is equally effective when deployed higher up the pitch.
Transfermarkt currently value him at just €12m.
