Ivorian midfielder Ibrahim Sangaré on Manchester United radar

Manchester United are closely tracking Ibrahim Sangaré as they look to strengthen their midfield ahead of the summer transfer window, according to GIVEMESPORT.

The Premier League club view the Ivory Coast international as a potential successor to Casemiro, whose future at Old Trafford appears uncertain.

United’s hierarchy are understood to be assessing options capable of reinforcing a midfield department that has at times lacked physical presence and defensive stability.

Currently playing for Nottingham Forest, Sangaré is regarded as fitting that profile. Standing at 1.90m, the 26-year-old offers a commanding physical presence and a combative style that could add balance to United’s midfield structure.

Known for his ball-winning ability, he operates primarily as a defensive anchor, providing protection in front of the back line while contributing athleticism and energy.

Since returning from the Africa Cup of Nations, Sangaré has delivered a series of consistent performances.

He has played every minute of Nottingham Forest’s last six Premier League fixtures, underlining both his importance to the side and his durability in England’s top flight.

His seamless adaptation to the pace and intensity of the league has further strengthened his credentials.

Manchester United’s interest reflects a broader strategy to reshape their midfield options in the coming window.

With experience at international level and a growing reputation in the Premier League, Sangaré is seen as a candidate capable of revitalising the engine room at Old Trafford.

As preparations begin for the next transfer period, the Ivorian midfielder’s situation is expected to attract increasing attention, with United monitoring developments closely.
