The Summer Transfer Window hasn’t started yet, but all clubs are getting ready for it. Manchester United are one of the clubs that will be very busy in the upcoming transfer window. In this article, we will discuss about the transfer plans of Manchester United.
Transfer Targets
Under Erik Ten Hag, Manchester United have done well. They finished the season in third place and won the Carabao Cup. With this silverware, Manchester United ended their trophy drought after a long five years. Now Man United are in the UEFA Champions League, and they will fight for more trophies next season. For this, The Red Devils need more quality players. Therefore, manager Erik Ten Hag is very serious about the upcoming transfer window. He publicly announced many times that he needs more quality players.
Man United need several players in different positions. But their top priority is to sign a prominent striker. Since the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo, Manchester United have been looking for a striker. Although they brought Wout Weghorst from Burnley FC on a loan move, he couldn’t score many goals. Besides, Anthony Martial has also failed to show his quality.
That is why Erik Ten Hag demands for a genuine striker. England’s skipper Harry Kane is their top priority. The Spurs striker has scored 30 goals in the EPL, just six goals behind Erling Haaland. There can be no doubt about his scoring ability. While his team failed to qualify for the Champions League, Harry Kane was in brilliant form.
However, Kane’s contract will be expired next year. As of now, the England international hasn’t renewed his contract with the Spurs. Therefore, Manchester United are desperately trying to bring him to Old Trafford. Victor Osimhen, the top scorer in Serie A, is also another target for Manchester United.
Erik Ten Hag also focuses on strengthening his midfield. Although he signed Casemiro and Eriksen, the manager is looking for another midfielder. They are interested in Chelsea’s Mason Mount. Mason Mount is a perfect backup for Bruno Fernandes. He can also play together with Bruno. That is why Man United put him on the list.
But it won’t be an easy task even though the player is ready to join. Chelsea will not allow him to leave unless they get the asking price, which is believed to be around 80 million euros.
On the other hand, Manchester United are also looking for a CB. Lisandro Martinez and Raphael Varane have become the first choice for Erik Ten Hag. But injuries cost them many times during the last season. Besides, Harry Maguire is already out of Ten Hag’s plan. Therefore, they will go for a new CB in the upcoming transfer window.
Napoli defender Kim Min-Jae is the first choice for Erik Ten Hag. Manchester United are in the race for Kim Min-Jae. However, it will cost Man United around €60m to sign Kim Min-Jae.
