With Ander Herrera already out of Old Trafford and the future of both Pogba and Matic uncertain, it is only fitting that United are on the look out for midfielders this summer.

The Telegraph has reported that United are among a handful of club interested in Mario Lemina, the Southampton midfielder. The Gabonese International has not travelled with the club to their pre-season camp in Austria, and has reiterated his desire to leave the club this summer.

The last four months have not been easy for me, with my injury. The coach put his team together. I want to start afresh, so why not leave?
They are giving me the opportunity to be able to go elsewhere. We are working on it with my agents, we are not putting ourselves under any pressure. We are waiting for the best project, the best offer.

Southampton signed Lemina from Juventus 2 years ago in a £18m deal and are ready to cash in on the player this summer. They are expecting to recuperate at least the amount they paid for him. However, none of the clubs interested are willing to meet the club's evaluation of their player so far.
