Manchester United have rarely struggled to convince the game’s best players to join them despite their continued lack of success over the years. Recently, the club have signed Paul Pogba, Casemiro, Cristiano Ronaldo and Raphael Varane from big clubs by using the attractive pull that is Man United.
Last summer, they signed one of Europe’s best performing goalkeepers, Andre Onana, and convinced Mason Mount to leave boyhood club Chelsea. This year, Erik ten Hag’s squad will once more be strengthened with a number of areas requiring attention.
A new centre-back, left-back, central midfielder and forward have all been earmarked as priority targets this summer. Pre-season starts this month and preparation will get underway ahead of a crucial 2024/25 season.
Osimhen green light
As mentioned above, United have never struggled to sign big players despite their continued lack of dominance in football. This summer, Victor Osimhen could be the next big player to move to Old Trafford.
While the preference would be keen to keep Rashford, his sale would free-up millions in wages and inject the club’s books with pure profit as he is classed as an academy graduate. Should he leave, it would make United financially stronger to sign Osimhen.
On the subject of Man United wanting a new striker, Romelu Lukaku has emerged as a shock alternative to Joshua Zirkzee.
A possible move would see the 31-year-old return to Old Trafford after he played two seasons in Manchester. He struggled to showcase his talent during his time but, should the reports be believed, Ten Hag is in favour of giving him another chance.
