Manchester United are reportedly weighing up a move for Ange Postecoglou target Conor Gallagher.

Tottenham look set to bolster their midfield in January as they prepare for a month without the likes of Yves Bissouma and Pape Matar Sarr.

The duo are set to head off to AFCON 2024 in January, leaving Ange Postecoglou short of options in midfield for a few weeks. 

One man who has been heavily linked with a switch to North London is Conor Gallagher, with Postecoglou said to be a huge fan of the midfielder. 

But as Erik ten Hag bids to get Manchester United’s season on track, TEAMtalk claims Gallagher could attract interest from the Red Devils. 

United could enter race to sign Gallagher

The outlet claims that Chelsea are considering the possibility of offloading Gallagher in January. 

Despite the fact he’s been a key man at Stamford Bridge this term, the Blues may cash in to raise funds for the window.

It’s noted that bidding will start at around £40 million, with West Ham and Tottenham still ken after expressing an interest over the summer.

And United have been described as a side to ‘keep an eye’ on, with sources stating they could enter the race should the opportunity arise.

Gallagher has enjoyed an exceptional start to the season at Chelsea, with the Englishman only missing one game due to suspension.

The 23-year-old has been lauded as a ‘brilliant’ player by former Spurs man Jamie O’Hara. 

There have been recent suggestions that Spurs could have snapped Gallagher up over the summer had they bid £50 million for him.

Now, they could well face extra competition for his signature should United make their move.

But in our view, it’s difficult to see Ten Hag’s side firming up any interest they may have in Gallagher.

It’s no secret that United are short of options in defence at the moment, while they are also lacking a goal threat in the final third.

Ten Hag has a wealth of options to choose from in midfield and it would make little sense for them to move for Gallagher, especially after signing Mason Mount over the summer.
