The reason for Tchouaméni's failed transfer to Manchester United

Reports have revealed that Aurélien Tchouaméni, the midfielder for Real Madrid, was Manchester United's primary target to strengthen their midfield during the summer transfer window, before the English club reconsidered their plans to sign him due to concerns regarding his salary.

According to "The Sun", Aurélien Tchouaméni was Manchester United's preferred option in midfield, but the club's management was worried about the financial demands associated with the deal, especially as the player's salary could significantly impact the wage structure within the team.

Reports indicate that Manchester United officials were keen to avoid disrupting the salary structure, which is why the club did not want to enter into a deal that would require them to offer a high salary to a Real Madrid player.

Aurélien Tchouaméni has been one of the standout names linked with a transfer to Manchester United during the summer transfer window, as the English club searches for a player capable of filling the defensive midfield role and compensating for the previous departure of Casemiro.

Despite interest from Manchester United, Aurélien Tchouaméni has remained with Real Madrid, while the English club ultimately turned to other signings to bolster their midfield, including Carlos Baleba, Youri Tielemans, and Andrey Santos.
