Report: Manchester United target 28-year-old Premier League midfielderManchester United Track Sangare as Midfield Planning IntensifiesManchester Uniteds summer planning is increasingly focused on reshaping midfield, with Nottingham Forests Ibrahim Sangare emerging as a serious option. According to Caught Offside, the club are preparing for a potential 50m move as they look ahead to life after Casemiro.The Ivorian international has quietly built a reputation as one of the Premier Leagues most commanding defensive midfielders this season. His physical presence and tactical awareness have drawn the attention of several clubs, but Uniteds interest appears particularly strong.Photo: IMAGOSangare Emerges as Key Midfield TargetSources cited by Caught Offside suggest United scouts have been impressed by Sangares performances for Nottingham Forest.Standing at 1.91m, the midfielder offers the kind of authority in central areas that many teams crave. His ability to dominate duels and retain composure under pressure has turned him into a vital shield for Forests defence.Reports indicate that United see him as a natural candidate to step into the role currently occupied by Casemiro. While the Brazilian has provided invaluable experience, planning for the next phase of the squad is already underway.Sangares growing influence in the Premier League has strengthened the case for his recruitment.Competition and Valuation Around 50mForest are aware of Sangares rising profile and appear ready to negotiate only at the right price.Caught Offside report that discussions would likely begin between 45m and 50m. Nottingham Forest signed the midfielder in 2023 for around 35m and will aim to secure a significant profit.His contract runs until 2028, which gives the club strong leverage in any negotiations.Photo: IMAGOInterest has extended beyond Manchester United. Bayern Munich and Liverpool have monitored Sangare previously, while Aston Villa and West Ham are also tracking his situation.Forest could be forced into at least one major sale during the upcoming window. Sangare, Elliot Anderson and Murillo are viewed internally as some of the clubs most valuable assets.Tactical Fit in United MidfieldUniteds recruitment strategy appears to favour players who combine athleticism with defensive reliability.Sangares performances have led observers to describe him as a barrier in front of the defence. That characteristic would align well with the demands of Premier League football, where midfield transitions can define matches.He may also represent a financially sensible option compared with other midfield targets. Alternatives such as Adam Wharton or Carlos Baleba could command higher fees, while Sangare offers established Premier League experience.Whether United formalise their interest remains to be seen, but his profile clearly fits the type of midfielder the club may prioritise this summer.Our View EPL Index AnalysisCasemiros influence has been enormous since arriving at Old Trafford, yet supporters understand that long term planning is necessary. Finding a midfielder capable of protecting the defence while coping with the pace of the Premier League has become a priority.Sangares physical presence immediately stands out. At 1.91m he provides height, strength and a capacity to dominate midfield duels. Those qualities often prove decisive in matches where United have previously struggled to control transitions.Fans would also appreciate the idea of signing a player already settled in English football. Adaptation periods can slow new signings, but Sangare has demonstrated that he can handle the Premier Leagues intensity.The reported fee of around 50m would spark debate among supporters. Some would prefer investment in younger prospects, while others might argue that reliability and physical authority are exactly what the midfield requires.Ultimately, supporters tend to judge signings on their impact once the season begins. If Sangare can bring stability to Uniteds midfield and shield the defence effectively, many fans would welcome the move as a practical step in rebuilding the teams spine.

The Dallas Cowboys are acquiring edge rusher Rashan Gary from the Green Bay Packers in a trade just as NFL free agency opens, a person with knowledge of the deal told The Associated Press on Monday.Dallas will send a 2027 late-round pick to the Packers, the person said.The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the deal was still being finalized.The Cowboys and Packers reached the deal just as free agents were being allowed to talk to teams and reach agreements on contracts that cant be signed until the league year begins Wednesday.The Miami Dolphins announced they are releasing Tua Tagovailoa, adding another big name at quarterback to a list of free agents that will include Kyler Murray, who is being let go by Arizona.The Dophins made another move by agreeing to trade safety Minkah Fitzpatrick to the New York Jets for a seventh-round pick, according to a person familiar with the negotiations.The Cowboys and Green Bay have agreed on a trade involving an edge rusher for the second year in a row.A week before the season started last year, the Cowboys traded young star Micah Parsons, who immediately signed a $188 million, four-year contract with $136 million guaranteed. It was the richest contract for a non-QB in league history. The Cowboys also got defensive tackle Kenny Clark from Green Bay in the Parsons trade.Gary was the No. 12 overall pick in 2019, two years before Parsons went to the Cowboys in the same draft spot. Gary had 7 1/2 sacks last season, but none in the final 10 games of an up-and-down year when the Packers were hoping the addition of Parsons would be a boost for Gary.Parsons missed the final three games and a wild-card loss to the Chicago Bears after tearing the ACL in his left knee. The 28-year-old Gary spent his first seven seasons with the Packers and had at least 7 1/2 sacks in four of the past five years. Gary, T.J. Watt and Myles Garrett are the only NFL players with at least 40 sacks, 100 quarterback hits, five forced fumbles and five fumble recoveries since 2020.This trade caps an eventful few days for Gary.
