NEW According to rumors, Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag intends to make at least five acquisitions this summer.
According to the Manchester Evening News, Ten Hag, 52, has a wide wishlist but has chosen a few of top candidates to help re-build the team.
Erik ten Hag, the manager of Manchester United, is likely to spend a lot of money this summer.
After being tutored by Erik ten Hag at Ajax, Frenkie de Jong might be on his way to Manchester United.
Since his comeback to the Premier League, Christian Eriksen has performed admirably.
The Dutchman has named Frenkie de Jong of Barcelona, Christian Eriksen of Tottenham Hotspur, Jurrien Timber and Antony of Ajax, as well as a backup goalkeeper.
According to United CEO Richard Arnold, the club is interested in signing De Jong and is "doing all necessary" to get him to Old Trafford.
Although Barcelona may be willing to sell him for £80 million, money does not appear to be an issue this summer, with United's budget being so large.
After suffering a heart episode while playing for Denmark at Euro 2020, Eriksen, 30, made an astonishing comeback to football.
He made an impression in the second half of last season for Brentford, and Man United are apparently confident of signing him.
Ten Hag is eager to reunite with some of Ajax's key players from last season's title-winning squad.
Last season, Antony scored 12 goals and assisted 10 more in all competitions, and the winger is said to get along well with Ten Hag. A deal for the Brazilian might be worth £38.4 million, according to reports.
Timber, a 21-year-old centre-back, is also wanted by United, although ex-Red Devils manager Louis van Gaal is reportedly trying to persuade him against making the transfer.
This is because Holland manager Bert van Marwijk wants Timber to play regular first-team games so he can prepare for the World Cup.
Dean Henderson could be on his way out of the club, thus a back-up keeper is required.
Karl Darlow of Newcastle and Daniel Bachmann of Watford have both been linked with transfers and might be on Ten Hag's shopping list.
