Man Utd to make second attempt for Atletico Madrid midfielder

Manchester United are watching Conor Gallagher's situation at Atletico Madrid.

The Daily Mail says United are in the market for a new midfield in January and after making enquiries after Gallagher over the summer, they're ready to try again during the winter transfer window.

The England international is in his second season with Atletico, with United seeking a loan-to-buy arrangement in January. The Premier League giants were knocked back by Atletico with the same offer over the summer.

United would be willing to insert a permanent option set at 345m.

It's been suggested United view Gallagher as a replacement for Kobbie Mainoo, though he is one of many candidates, which also includes Brighton midfielder Carlos Baleba.
