Manchester United, under new head coach Ruben Amorim, are interested in signing Hayden Hackney from Middlesbrough. Middlesbrough have expressed openness to allowing Hackney to leave this summer following their failure to gain promotion to the Premier League. Amorim is a fan of Hackney’s skills and sees him as a potential addition to strengthen the midfield. Middlesbrough might consider a move in the region of £20 million, although the exact demand remains uncertain. Losing Hackney might affect Middlesbrough's promotion hopes, but they are likely to resist unless a generous offer is made.
