Manchester United has been advised by former assistant Rene Meulensteen to consider signing Sandro Tonali from Newcastle United. The club has faced ongoing criticism for not strengthening their midfield, despite being linked with various players for over a year. Although United made four signings last summer, they chose not to pursue a midfielder when the transfer window reopened in January.

There has been a notable emphasis on the need for United to bolster their midfield, especially after failing to make significant acquisitions in the previous transfer windows. Various players have been suggested as potential targets for the upcoming summer, but Tonali has emerged as a standout candidate due to his impressive performance since joining Newcastle. The Italian midfielder had previously been rumored to transfer to Arsenal, but ultimately remained at St. James' Park, thus drawing Manchester United's attention as they look to enhance their squad for better results.

The continued speculation around Manchester United's interest in Tonali reflects the club's ongoing issues in the midfield department, which have been exposed during their current campaign. If United were to successfully sign Tonali, it could signal a more decisive approach to their transfer strategy, potentially addressing the gap in their midfield and strengthening their chances for success in future competitions, particularly as the club aims to return to its former glory in the Premier League and European tournaments.
