Man Utd have four cheaper Declan Rice transfer alternatives they could sign in January

Aurelien Tchouameni

Aurelien Tchouameni has been heavily linked with Chelsea in recent weeks, but Man United are also said to be monitoring him.

Aged 21, Tchouameni has emerged as one of the future faces of France’s midfield at AS Monaco, garnering mass hype.

He is excellent at screening the defensive line next to a midfield partner and, standing at 6ft 1, boasts physical attributes that suggest he’d cope well in the Premier League.

His energy and ability to consistently make tackles and blocks with his long legs could make him the final piece of the puzzle for Solskjaer’s trophy-hunting team.
