ESPN: Midfield is the focus of United's summer window signings, with West Ham asking for more than £100 million for Rice

According to ESPN, midfielders are the focus of United's summer window, and West Ham are asking for more than 100 million euros for Rice.

After United decided not to reinforce the squad in January due to the top target not to move to the market, the Red Devils are concentrating on signing a midfield core in the summer window and will begin to look ahead of the appointment of a new coach.

United's signings division is reducing the list of midfield targets, with West Ham's Rice, Leeds United's Calvin Phillips and Leipzig's Haidara all on the table.

West Ham have informed clubs such as Manchester City and Chelsea that they are valuing Rice at over £100 million, while it is questionable whether Phillips would be willing to move to one of Leeds United's biggest rivals.

United will gradually narrow down the midfield signing list, culminating in a three-man roster that will negotiate with the player agent and club.

Midfield signings became the focus of United as Cristiano Ronaldo's return reduced the need for a centre-forward position.
