Leeds United's Tyler Adams, Robin Koch, Illan Meslier before the Premier League match at Elland Road
Manchester United are backed to launch a surprise attack in the summer against Leeds United with Erik ten Hag tipped to jump in by signing the star to replace a dwindling force in the Premier League. Old Trafford.
The Red Devils are licking their wounds after an embarrassing 5-2 loss to Sevilla in the quarter-finals of the Europa League. Having won the Carabao Cup this season, UEFA's second tier tournament offers United a great opportunity to earn more silverware this season.
However, after taking a 2-0 lead in the first leg, Sevilla resoundedly beat them 3-0 in the second leg this week.
The result has certainly bolstered confidence that United can challenge the game's top honors next season. Besides, it also reminds Ten Hag that his team still needs major surgery this summer.
Ultimately, the Manchester United boss plans to make at least three major signings over the summer.
First, Ten Hag is eyeing a new striker to lead the squad. Wout Weghorst will be sacked after a disappointing loan spell.
The Reds boss is also on the hunt for new defenders, with a right-back and a centre-back on his shopping list. Besides that, he also wants fresh blood to be injected into his midfield with a style partner that Casemiro also wants to have.
However, United need to be careful about how much money is spent and play financially fair. Ultimately - and to balance the books - the club are said to be looking to offload some players this summer.
Ten Hag ready to move to Leeds star Illan Meslier
And with reports that as many as 15 players could be transferred, it looks like Ten Hag will be gearing up for another important summer at Old Trafford.
One of the names excluded from this list is goalkeeper David De Gea. The Spaniard is currently in his 12th season at the club, having made 535 appearances.
However, with his contract set to expire this summer, he could be allowed to leave.
Indeed, negotiations over an extension - which have seen the player offer a drastic reduction of his current £375,000-a-week salary - have so far failed to reach an agreement.
And if they let him go, Ten Hag will have to decide who is best suited to sign as United's new No.
In the end, countless names have been associated with the club. Indeed, Yassine Bounou, Mike Maignan and André Onana are just three of the recently linked names.
However, former Liverpool striker Stan Collymore believes Leeds United's Illan Meslier is where he should be.
The star of France U21 has had a turbulent time recently, when he scored 11 goals in the last two matches. That record includes a 10-goal streak from 10 shots he faced, before he finally made a save.
Collymore, however, is adamant that the 23-year-old is on top. And while he admits it's a gamble, he thinks it's a decision that could pay off.
Writing to Caught Offside he said:
"Obviously Meslier had a very, very difficult season at Leeds, but he's still a kid. Is he the guy they want to develop?"
Meslier has also been linked with Tottenham, while reports also suggest a move to Chelsea could be considered.
