Per Sky Sports' Dharmesh Sheth, United have held exploratory talks with Monaco star Fofana as they seek a midfield acquisition. The club are working through a shortlist of names which includes PSG midfielder Manuel Ugarte, but the French club's asking price is curently deemed too high. The other names under consideration are Richard Rios, Sander Berge, Martin Zubimendi and Sofyan Amrabat, of Palmeiras, Burnley, Real Sociedad and Fiorentina, respectively.
