Manchester United are gearing up for a crucial summer transfer window as manager Erik ten Hag aims to strengthen his squad ahead of the new Premier League season. With several positions in need of reinforcement, the Red Devils could be set for a major overhaul.
Priority Targets for United
United's recruitment team are reportedly focusing on three key areas:
- Central defence: With Raphael Varane's future uncertain, a new centre-back is high on the agenda
- Midfield creativity: The club continues to search for a playmaker to complement Bruno Fernandes
- Striker options: Additional firepower is needed to support Rasmus Hojlund
Potential New Faces at Old Trafford
Several names have been linked with moves to the Theatre of Dreams:
- Jarrad Branthwaite - The Everton defender has emerged as a prime target
- Joao Neves - Benfica's young midfielder is attracting interest from top clubs
- Ivan Toney - The Brentford striker could provide experienced competition up front
How United Could Line Up Next Season
With potential new signings, Ten Hag could deploy a more balanced formation:
Possible 4-2-3-1: Onana; Dalot, Branthwaite, Martinez, Shaw; Mainoo, Neves; Garnacho, Fernandes, Rashford; Toney
The Dutch manager will be keen to avoid last season's injury crisis derailing their campaign again, making squad depth a crucial factor in their transfer strategy.
