Manchester United are considering a move to sign Brighton defensive midfielder Moises Caicedo during the ongoing transfer window - according to reports.
Despite bringing in Jadon Sancho, Raphael Varane and Cristiano Ronaldo last summer, key figures in the Old Trafford boardroom were unable to recruit in the engine room and it has been a priority for the club ever since. They last signed a player in that position in 2018.
United initially wanted Declan Rice and subsequently turned their attentions to Frenkie de Jong when Erik ten Hag was appointed as manager. However, there have been some well-documented stumbling blocks when it comes to that would-be pursuit.

Discussions are ongoing with De Jong and Juventus midfielder Adrien Rabiot, while United are also considering a swoop for Lazio man Sergej Milinkovic-Savic. However, reports suggest those two are not the only alternative options being monitored.
According to the Sunday Mirror, United are weighing-up Caicedo following his impressive early-season performances with the Seagulls. He played against United on the opening day and has several other clubs interested in securing his signature.
Arsenal, Atletico Madrid, Bayern Munich and Juventus are among those keeping tabs on the 23-cap Ecuador international. Caicedo signed for Brighton in 2021 and has played 12 games for the club in all competitions.
Elsewhere, reports from The Telegraph claim Milinkovic-Savic's agent have offered the Lazio man to United this summer. As mentioned above, the club are considering him as an option to solve their problems in central midfield.
