Manchester United are weighing a potential £35 million bid for Bournemouth midfielder Tyler Adams, according to reports in The Daily Mail. This comes as the club, now under the ownership of INEOS, continues to reshape its midfield options during the summer transfer window.
United have already secured the signings of Andrey Santos from Chelsea and Youri Tielemans from Aston Villa, but manager Michael Carrick is reportedly seeking a third addition to the squad. While the club have been linked with AS Roma’s Manu Kone and have reportedly reached an agreement in principle on personal terms with the player, no deal between the clubs is currently in place.
Adams, 27, joined Bournemouth in 2023 and has become a key figure in their midfield. Previously, the USA international spent time with RB Leipzig and Leeds United, establishing himself as a Premier League player. He also featured for the United States at the 2026 World Cup, demonstrating his international calibre.
Sources at TEAMtalk have confirmed United’s interest in Adams, reporting initial enquiries were made as early as March. Bournemouth are reportedly willing to consider offers around £50 million for the player, but United’s valuation appears to be lower, at approximately £35 million. The club’s recruitment staff are said to value Adams’ Premier League experience, leadership qualities, and versatility.
This potential move for Adams suggests United are prioritizing players with proven experience in the league, offering a potentially more immediate impact than pursuing players unfamiliar with the Premier League. Securing Adams would further strengthen United’s midfield options ahead of their Champions League campaign and ongoing Premier League title challenge.
