Manchester United are moving up the gears in terms of adding to Erik ten Hag’s squad and moving on from some fringe players and TT has taken a look at how they could line up, if the Dutchman gets his way in the market, when the new Premier League campaign gets underway.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s newly-formed football operations department have already made one big splash in the form of Netherlands striker Joshua Zirkzee, while a deal for Lille’s Leny Yoro is close.
However, it’s expected that there could be three or four more new additions, assuming also that some of the players who are no longer in Ten Hag’s plans are also moved on to satisfy PSR.
Bolstering the spine of the team has always been the focus of Ten Hag this summer and it would be no great surprise if another centre-back follows Yoro through the door, along with a central midfielder. At least the addition of Zirkzee has given United another focal point and it will be interesting to see if he beats out Rasmsus Hojlund for the No.9 spot to start the new campaign.
