MANCHESTER UNITED manager John Murtough is presently attempting to capture Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong during the summer transfer window.
Manchester United is still looking to capture Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong. John Murtough is pursuing the Netherlands international, expecting to deliver for Erik ten Hag at the first attempt. Express Sport will now look at five players who might join the 25-year-old at Old Trafford as the Red Devils strive to strengthen their team.
Torres, Pau
Until recently, United had hoped to seal the arrival of Jurrien Timber from Ajax.
However, the Netherlands international is expected to remain in Amsterdam due to questions over whether a move to the Premier League is ideal for him at this time.
With that in mind, United have Pau Torres on their list of possible replacements.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was interested in the Villarreal star a year ago, but the Norwegian ultimately chose Raphael Varane instead.
And, considering the amount of information they've gathered on the Spain international, United could make a bid in the coming weeks.
Erik ten Hag already has his own Darwin Nunez at Manchester United.
United's top priority is Christian Eriksen De Jong.
They are also attempting to sign Christian Eriksen, who is presently a free agent after his contract with Brentford expired.
The Denmark international has been linked with Tottenham, although Antonio Conte's team is now preoccupied with other matters.
Eriksen is also wanted by Newcastle, Brighton, West Ham, and Brentford, who haven't given up hope on keeping him.
However, considering their standing as one of the world's richest and most influential teams, United appear to be the frontrunners in terms of completing a transaction.
Dumfries, Denzel
United are also looking for a new full-back this summer.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka has been judged surplus to requirements at Manchester United after struggling for consistency throughout his three years at the club.
And, despite doing well at Norwich City through a difficult season, the Red Devils are willing to listen to offers for Brandon Williams.
Denzel Dumfries has surfaced as a possible suitor for Manchester United.
And he'd be a wise addition to the team, especially given his performance for the Netherlands at the European Championships last summer.

Man United would want to win the race to sign Christian Eriksen this summer.
Ten Hag helped Antony establish himself as one of the top young attackers in the world during his tenure at Ajax.
As a result, he is yet another player who has been widely linked with a move to the Premier League.
Ajax have claimed that Ten Hag will not be allowed to select their best players, but money talks, and United, even without Champions League football, have plenty of it.
Erik ten Hag already has his own Darwin Nunez at Manchester United.

Man United are interested in both Antony and Denzel Dumfries.
Darwin Nunez, a South American, has already been passed over by Evanilson United.
However, in Evanilson, another option is being considered.
