While United are still trying to sign Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount, United have also begun to consider other signings after negotiations stalled.
On Friday, when Chelsea rejected United's offer for Mason Mount, United actually felt a little comfortable because after a long tug-of-war, they also felt no need to negotiate with Chelsea face to face.
United's targets are now under consideration for signings including Brighton midfielder Caicedo and Juventus midfielder Rabiot – the French midfielder's contract with Juventus expires at the end of this month.
The French midfielder came close to moving to Old Trafford last summer, but the move was eventually cancelled as United missed out on the Champions League. Now that Manchester United have once again qualified for the Champions League, it looks like Rabiot's move can be put on the agenda again.
In addition, the current situation at Juventus is not ideal. After penalty points, they finished seventh in the league last season and missed out on the Champions League in the new season.
As for Rabiot, his performance last season was remarkable, with 11 goals and six assists in 48 games – the best stats of his career so far. At the same time, he also had a very eye-catching performance in the 2022 World Cup.
Rabiot himself is open to moving to the Premier League, saying back in December: "I've always said I want to play in England, will it be the right time when my contract expires? I don't know, but I have this goal. ”
