Overview
- Multiple outlets citing GiveMeSport report that Ibrahim Sangare has been added to Manchester United’s summer shortlist as the club plans to recruit two experienced midfielders.
- Reporter Ben Jacobs is quoted as saying United have narrowed an initial list to a handful that includes Elliot Anderson, Carlos Baleba, Adam Wharton, Sandro Tonali and Angelo Stiller.
- Sangare is portrayed as a far cheaper option than Anderson, with Transfermarkt valuing him at around €22m; he joined Forest from PSV for roughly £30m in 2023 and is under contract until 2028.
- Coverage describes the 6ft 3in Ivory Coast international as a combative, screening midfielder who wins duels and protects the back line, aligning with the role Casemiro has filled.
- No formal approach or agreement has been confirmed by United, and reports note Sangare’s near‑50 Premier League appearances for Forest as well as Forest’s precarious league position potentially shaping any summer negotiations.
