Man Utd have made transfer plans clear with three targets worth £100m

The Dutchman reportedly did want further additions in both midfield and at right-back, but sales may be necessary in order to improve those areas depending on the potential takeover of the club from the Glazer family.

Both Diogo Dalot and Aaron Wan-Bissaka have impressed on the right-side of defence in recent months which may push United into diverting funds from the plan to replace them, to their kitty for a striker. However, their lack of options in midfield has recently been exposed as Christian Eriksen remains injured and Casemiro faces a four-match suspension after picking up his second red card of the season.

Marcel Sabitzer was signed on loan in January, but Ten Hag’s long-standing admiration of Barcelona playmaker Frenkie De Jong has shown that another midfielder would be welcomed in the summer, though a striker of the calibre of Kane, Osimhen or Ramos may be taking priority.
