Manchester United are eyeing-up a move for Eberechi Eze next summer

Manchester United are reportedly keeping an eye on Eberechi Eze ahead of a possible move for the Crystal Palace star next summer.

Eze, 26, has shone at Selhurst Park ever since joining Palace from QPR in 2020, with the attacking midfielder working his way into the England squad following his impressive performances.

He was part of the Three Lions' group at Euro 2024 and many were left surprised that the 26-year-old didn't move in the summer window, although Palace did sell Michael Olise to Bayern Munich for £50million.

Mail Sport reported last week how Eze's £68m release clause will re-activate next summer after it expired ahead of the 2024-25 Premier League campaign beginning.

And, according to Manchester Evening News, United are already planning several additions in 2025, with Eze one star under consideration.

The report claims that Erik ten Hag's side are keen to sign a forward or attacking mdifielder as they eye reinforcements on the flanks next summer.

Eze, who is under contract at Selhurst Park until 2027, has scored 28 goals and added 17 assists in 128 games for the Eagles.

If Eze did arrive at Old Trafford, he would be seen as another option to play on the wing.

Jadon Sancho finally departed to Chelsea on deadline day after a public falling-out with the Dutchman last season, while Antony's £86m move to the club in 2022 has proven to be a major disappointment.

Marcus Rashford has struggled for form over the past 12 months, with Alejandro Garnacho and Amad Diallo are still seen as developing, so Eze would add proven quality to the Red Devils.

The report also goes on to add that, along with a winger, United are eyeing up a centre back, a left back and a central midfielder.

United had two bids rejected for Everton's Jarrad Branthwaite over the summer, but they are set to keep an eye on the 22-year-old ahead of possibly re-entering the market for him.

The Toffees were said to want between £70m-£80m for the defender, with United instead singing Leny Yoro from Lille for £52m.
