# Manchester United: Fans react to Aurelien Tchouameni report

**Manchester United are keen on AS Monaco’s Aurelien Tchouameni, [David Ornstein of The Athletic reports](https://theathletic.com/3054326/2022/01/07/ornsteins-transfer-mailbag-citys-haaland-move-arsenal-and-vlahovic-cantwell-can-go/?source=emp_shared_article).**

The Red Devils could apparently find themselves in an ‘intense’ battle with arch-rivals Liverpool for his signature. That is if Jurgen Klopp’s side ‘choose to take their interest further’ too.

### Why might United want Tchouameni?

Tchouameni was named [Ligue 1’s Young Player of the Year](https://theathletic.com/2937712/2021/11/12/introducing-aurelien-tchouameni-frances-latest-midfield-gem-tipped-for-greatness/?source=user-shared-article) for 2020/21, beating Eduardo Camavinga, who left Stade Rennais for Real Madrid in the summer.

He leads the way in Ligue 1 for interceptions per 90 minutes with 2.7, edging Strasbourg’s Alexander Djiku (via [WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Regions/74/Tournaments/22/Seasons/8671/Stages/19866/PlayerStatistics/France-Ligue-1-2021-2022)).

In fact, he intercepts the ball so frequently that team-mates at Monaco have come to nickname him [‘TchouaNgolo’](https://theathletic.com/2937712/2021/11/12/introducing-aurelien-tchouameni-frances-latest-midfield-gem-tipped-for-greatness/?source=user-shared-article), after Chelsea star N’Golo Kante.

Aged just 21, he’s already joined the Blues midfielder in the French senior side after Didier Deschamps [handed him his debut](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/aurelien-tchouameni/nationalmannschaft/spieler/413112) in September.

### How much would he cost?

Tchouameni is under contract for [another two and a half years](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/aurelien-tchouameni/profil/spieler/413112) at the Stade Louis II.

Transfermarkt value him at [£36million](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/aurelien-tchouameni/profil/spieler/413112), though perhaps Monaco will hope to drum up a bidding war between United and Liverpool.

Fan feed [Utd Report](https://twitter.com/utdreport/status/1479387595574546434) relayed Ornstein’s claim, and here’s how supporters reacted.
