Erik ten Hag received a lot of support from Manchester United in the transfer market last summer, and following a strong debut campaign, they must do so once more if they want to take advantage of all the advancements that have been made. Although they reached the Carabao and FA Cup finals and finished third in the Premier League, the team's flaws have been exposed by some dreadful defeats, especially away from home.
In order to genuinely compete with Manchester City next season and attempt to win their first league title in 11 years, United will be seeking to acquire a top-tier striker, an attacking midfielder, a goalkeeper, and another centre-back.
The players most likely to move to Old Trafford this summer are examined by GOAL.
Mason Mount (Chelsea) The Red Devils upped their pursuit of the midfielder, who is entering the final year of his contract with Chelsea, and Mount may very well be United's first summer acquisition.
He has had a season marred by injuries, but a new beginning at a United team that is now stable could benefit him. He would also give Ten Hag's team an edge in the middle of the field, relieving Bruno of some of the pressure.
Tottenham's Harry Kane
The player that United wants to sign the most is Kane. The player who has surpassed Alan Shearer's Premier League scoring record and has become Tottenham and England's leading scorer is the best possible assurance of goals and assists.
Additionally, the England captain would raise the bar in the locker room and enable the team to advance in their metamorphosis under Ten Hag. Despite entering the final year of his contract, Kane has made it clear that he wants to leave Tottenham after a disastrous season.
But Daniel Levy opposed Kane moving to Manchester City in 2021, and he will be the biggest hurdle in the way of a transfer.
The Paris Saint-Germain player Neymar
At PSG, Neymar's popularity has reached an all-time low, and he is looking for a new team. Following his 191 million transfer from Barcelona in 2017, United is one of the few teams who could afford the Brazilian, who is still the most expensive player in the world.
When asked about United's interest in Neymar during a press conference last week, Ten Hag said: "When we have news, we'll tell you." PSG has offered Neymar to United.
Although Neymar's history of injuries and his issues with attitude may worry United supporters, he is still one of the most exciting and decisive players in the world when healthy. He has played in 173 games for PSG, scoring 118 goals and assisting 77.
