What happened. Manchester United are monitoring Aurelien Tchouameni's situation at Real Madrid, with a potential move in August if Rodri joins the Spanish giants.

• Tchouameni reportedly signed a contract extension but Real Madrid haven't confirmed it.
• United lack a specialist defensive midfielder after Casemiro's exit and Ugarte's injury.
• United conducted background checks on the 26-year-old months ago.

United have already signed Andrey Santos and Youri Tielemans this summer but still need a defensive midfielder.
