Aurelien Tchouameni and Alex Scott remain high on Manchester United's list of midfield targets.
The club are assessing their next options after seeing Mateus Fernandes join Tottenham for £85m this week and have a list that also includes Felix Nmecha, Ayyoub Bouaddi and Sander Berge.
The situation around Tchouameni at Real Madrid is complicated by the Spanish club's intentions to reshape their own midfield.
Although they have been interested in the player, the Spanish giants announced on Friday that they have no intention of pursuing a deal for Chelsea's Enzo Fernandez.
They also have an interest in Rodri but Manchester City intend to keep him and want him to sign a new deal.
Regardless, if Real Madrid do need to create space in midfield, they are widely reported in Spain to be more open to moving on Eduardo Camavinga.
With Tchouameni currently difficult, Bournemouth's Scott is also a high-priority target for United.
Along with Arsenal, they would be frontrunners to sign him - but Your Site News has already reported Bournemouth do not want to sell any of their best players, including Scott, whom they would like to sign a new deal.
United are believed to have made further checks on Lille and Morocco midfielder Bouaddi this week as the 18-year-old continues to impress at the World Cup and prepares for a last-16 meeting with Canada on Saturday.
Borussia Dortmund and Germany's Nmecha, and Fulham and Norway's Berge, also make the shortlist.
Strengthening in midfield has been and remains United's priority this summer, with a deal for Atalanta's Ederson to be completed after his World Cup stint with Brazil.
remains the number one target on the left wing, despite the club prioritising midfield this summer.
United have held initial, exploratory talks with West Ham over a deal for the Netherlands international but they are not the only Premier League club interested.
His future is expected to be clarified in the coming weeks after Netherlands were knocked out of the World Cup by Morocco.
United ideally want to sign him using funds from the sale of Marcus Rashford, who is set to return to Old Trafford once his post-World Cup break is finished.
Depending on how far England go into the tournament, that could be well into August.
Tottenham are also in the running for Summerville and United are very aware they could lose out to Spurs on another priority target if they don't move quickly. There is also still a chance Rashford stays as a squad player under Carrick.
The pursuit of a left-back - Newcastle's Lewis Hall - is on hold until they have recruited more midfielders.
