If some of Manchester United's transfer targets are signed this summer, the team may undergo significant changes. Under the direction of Erik ten Hag, United has had arguably a successful season. In February, the Dutchman gave the team its first trophy in nearly seven years.
The Europa League is one of two additional titles that the Red Devils are still in the running for.
They also appear to be returning to the Champions League since they are in a strong position to finish in the top four.
Whatever the case, Ten Hag is thought to be intent on bolstering his team this summer in order to enable him contend for additional honours next season. Victor Osimhen of Napoli is top of United's short list for a prolific striker, according to Metro UK. In order to pair Casemiro, the Old Trafford residents are also anticipated to bolster their midfield.
The Sun reports that Jude Bellingham of Borussia Dortmund is now the main choice, replacing Barcelona's Frenkie de Jong, who United had previously tipped for the position.
Given Antony's difficulties since joining from Ajax, Ten Hag is also expected to make a bid for a right winger. Possible Man United starting lineup If the three trades go through, Man United's team would likely be significantly different come season 2019.
David de Gea, the stalwart shot-blocker for United, is anticipated to keep defending the goal for the upcoming campaign as his contract at Old Trafford is expected to be extended.
Harry Maguire may have to make do with a spot on the bench if he stays at the club, having already been frozen out of the starting lineup. Ten Hag may want to keep Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez at the center of his defense.
Diogo Dalot has been regarded as the Theatre of Dreams' long-term right-back, leaving Wan-Bissaka with a grim future with the team.
Nonetheless, Dalot and Luke Shaw are set to play together on one of the backline's flanks, with Tyrell Malacia serving as Shaw's left-back backup.
If Bellingham is acquired by United from Dortmund, Casemiro and the Englishman will probably play together in midfield, with Bruno Fernandes continuing to play as the club's No. 10 player.
Naturally, Mitoma would replace Antony on the right wing, while Marcus Rashford would stay on the left. Osimhen would therefore be sent into the attack to spearhead Man United's goal-scoring effort in such a scenario.
Sports Brief had earlier claimed that Napoli had apparently set a price for the team's leading goal scorer, Victor Osimhen. Osimhen has drawn interest from several elite clubs in Europe following a standout season with the Italian club.
