Manchester United’s search for midfield reinforcements has seen several names discussed behind the scenes in recent weeks.
Brighton’s Carlos Baleba was a player admired by Ruben Amorim, viewed as a dream target.
However, the Seagulls are standing firm in keeping him until next season.
Morten Hjulmand has also been under close watch, though Sporting CP are standing firm on their captain, with the club offering a fresh proposal to retain his services.
United even explored the possibility of involving Andrey Santos in talks with Chelsea during discussions around Alejandro Garnacho.
However, the Blues quickly dismissed the idea of parting with the Brazilian.
With those avenues proving difficult, INEOS have been forced to keep expanding their shortlist.

According to Ben Jacobs on X, Stuttgart’s Angelo Stiller has now emerged as one of the midfielders being discussed internally at Old Trafford.
United are weighing up whether to push for another signing before the window shuts, and the 24-year-old German has been mentioned as a potential solution.
There is no guarantee a move will materialise, but his inclusion shows the club are actively considering multiple options to address their midfield issues.
Stiller, who came through Bayern Munich’s academy, has been a key figure for Stuttgart, impressing with his ability to dictate tempo and progress the ball from deep areas.
While not yet a headline name like some of United’s other targets, his profile offers the blend of technical quality and work rate that Amorim would value.
As the window edges towards its close, United must now decide whether to act decisively or risk going into the season short in a crucial area of the pitch.
One of the midfielders on Manchester United’s list of options is Stuttgart’s Angelo Stiller.
