Manchester United are working on getting in new players for 2020. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is looking to reinforce the midfield and there are two numbers who are being strongly linked: Jack Grealish of Aston Villa and James Maddison of Leicester, say 'The Independent'.

The midfield seems to be the area Ole Gunnar Solskjaer wants to bolster in the January transfer window for Manchester United. And the Norwegian coach has apparently set his sights on two footballers who are shining in the Premier League.

They are Jack Grealish, a 24 year-old for Aston Villa, and James Maddison, who at 23 is performing at a good level for Leicester City. Two talents for a team who in 2020 are not looking to just get into the Europa League, but also qualify for the Champions League.

That is what 'The Independent' revealed this Friday.

The 'Red Devils', a team used to being in the top four in the past, are currently five points off fourth place Chelsea.

The cost of both signings could be one of the stumbling blocks. Especially in the case of signing Maddison. According to the cited media outlet, signing him could cost up to 80 million euros, an amount Man U would have to decide whether to pay or not.
