Manchester United definitely need to add to their squad over the coming transfer windows despite making several major additions in recent times. Superstars like Cristiano Ronaldo, Jadon Sancho and Raphael Varane arrived in the summer but the magnitude of those arrivals have not matched the performances on the pitch as the Red Devils have continued to struggle.
At this point of time, unless there is a major turnaround, it looks like the club could have a difficult time even finishing in the top four of the Premier League this season.
And thus, the January transfer window, as well as next summer, could be very important for Manchester United in terms of strengthening their squad and reaching a point where they can challenge for the Premier League title once again.
There are several players currently in Ligue 1 who have been linked with an Old Trafford switch recently.
Manchester United: 3 Ligue 1 stars the club should target
Here are three Ligue 1 stars that Manchester United should keep their eyes on in the future as potential transfer targets:
Aurelien Tchouameni
Tchouameni has been one of the most highly-rated midfielders in Ligue 1 for quite some time now and he has even made several appearances for the France national team already.
Still just 21 years of age, the future looks very bright for Tchouameni and Manchester United are not the only club who appear to have an eye on the AS Monaco star.
Chelsea, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Liverpool and several other clubs have been linked with the French international as it looks like the race for his signature is going to be very tough.
If Manchester United are able to sign Tchouameni, he has the potential to be an incredible addition for the Red Devils, who have needed to strengthen in the middle of the park for quite some time.
