# Manchester United: Fans erupt at Aurelien Tchouameni talks

**Manchester United have opened talks with the representatives of AS Monaco midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni.**

And, as to be expected, a number of United supporters were quick to flock to the update on social media.

According to reports from [France](https://rmcsport.bfmtv.com/football/transferts/mercato-c-est-combien-tchouameni-qui-interesse-le-real-et-d-autres-cadors-europeens_AV-202201280416.html), relayed by [The Sun](https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/17480675/man-utd-aurelien-tchouameni-chelsea-liverpool-man-city/), United have entered the race for the 22-year-old, who holds a [valuation](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/aurelien-tchouameni/profil/spieler/413112) of £36m.

Primarily a defensive midfielder, he’s made [76](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/aurelien-tchouameni/leistungsdaten/spieler/413112) appearances for his current employers after joining from Bordeaux two years ago.

Tchouameni, who also has [seven](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/aurelien-tchouameni/leistungsdaten/spieler/413112) caps to his name for France, is wanted by some of the biggest clubs in the world, with Barcelona and Real Madrid name-checked with an interest.

However, it’s United who have [reportedly](https://rmcsport.bfmtv.com/football/transferts/mercato-c-est-combien-tchouameni-qui-interesse-le-real-et-d-autres-cadors-europeens_AV-202201280416.html) spoken with the player’s entourage and are tracking Tchouameni ahead of a summer move.

### United fans react

[@utdreport](https://twitter.com/utdreport/status/1487225188517359618?s=21) relayed the update regarding United’s talks for Tchouameni on Twitter, with one fan believing the youngster could be ‘the key signing’.

Indeed, much has been made of the club’s [need for a defensive midfield signing](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/manchester-united-defensive-midfielder-transfer-22881029), and Tchouameni boasts a hugely impressive [2.9 tackles and 2.7 interceptions per game](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/353423/Show/Aur%C3%A9lien-Tchouam%C3%A9ni) in Ligue 1 this season.
