Manchester United won their final home Premier League game of the season over Nottingham Forest 3-2 on Sunday.
One last away game against Brighton remains for Michael Carrick‘s team , and after that, the focus will shift to preparing for the next campaign.
As reported by CentreDevils, INEOS have already got in on the act, opening discussions with a Premier League side who boast three stars wanted by the Red Devils.
“This summer will therefore offer Carrick his first opportunity to work with the recruitment team to sign players that could improve the squad ahead of the new season.
United meet with Bournemouth over potential summer transfers
“CentreDevils can now exclusively reveal details about conversations between Manchester United and representatives from Bournemouth relating to player transfers.
“We understand that the two parties have held preliminary talks about the possibility of The Red Devils signing players from the South West club. We do understand that these talks happened within the last week.”
Bournemouth are on course to play in Europe for the first time in their history, and three of their stars have enjoyed fantastic campaigns. As a result, United are interested.
Two midfielders, Alex Scott and Tyler Adams, are on United’s radar, as well as red-hot forward Eli Junior Kroupi.
Three Bournemouth stars wanted by United
The 20-time English league champions are looking to add as many as three midfielders, and both Scott and Adams have enjoyed fine campaigns.
The Englishman can play both as a No.8 and defensive midfielder and has quite an eye for goal. The American, on the other hand, is more experienced and solely a defensive midfielder.
As for Kroupi, his price has skyrocketed as a result of his heroics in his debut campaign in the English top flight, which might make him too expensive for United at present. However, a future move cannot be ruled out.
Marcos Senesi is another Cherries ace admired by INEOS. However, since he is soon to become a free agent, no club-to-club talks are needed to sign the Argentine.
INEOS planning ahead
It is heartening to see United preparing the groundwork to go ahead and complete deals as quickly as possible, instead of waiting till deadline day.
Whether the Old Trafford side sign any Bournemouth players this summer remains to be seen.
