Bournemouth midfielder Tyler Adams on the radar of Man United ahead of winter

The name of Bournemouth star Tyler Adams has cropped up in conversations over Manchester United’s potential midfield targets in the winter transfer window or next summer, according to the Daily Mail .

Man United want to strengthen in the middle of the park at the Old Trafford club as they prepare for the potential departure of Casemiro .

The Red Devils have been linked with the likes of Brighton & Hove Albion’s Carlos Baleba, Nottingham Forest’s Elliot Anderson and Crystal Palace’s Adam Wharton.

However, Adams is a more attractive and cheaper target as he could be available for around £40 million.

The 26-year-old United States international has played fewer than 50 Premier League games but has done enough to catch the attention of Man United .

Adams was looking forward to playing against the Red Devils at Old Trafford last night, but an injury ruled him out five minutes into the game.

He practically missed the entirety of the 4-4 thriller but would remain on their radar heading into the winter transfer window.

Chelsea’s Moises Caicedo is the only Premier League midfielder to have made more interceptions than Adams this season besides, and he ranks seventh in the total number of tackles made by any player including defenders.

He has proven himself in recent seasons and could be the perfect long-term successor to Casemiro .

While yesterday would have been the perfect audition for him, he has other games to prove himself going forward if Man United are not yet convinced.

Adams has weighed in with two goals and one assist in 15 league games this term, picking up the goal of the month award for November after scoring from inside the centre-circle against Sunderland by picking up the ball in his own half and lobbing goalkeeper Robin Roefs.

He loves to play long shots, intercept and tackle, and he never shies away from aerial duels despite standing at just 5ft 9in.
