Manchester United are slowly adapting to the methods used by current boss Erik ten Hag. Since the Dutch coach took over in the summer of 2022, the team has undergone a number of changes.
They have secured a Champions League spot for the 2023-24 season, won the Carabao Cup and will face Manchester City in the FA Cup final. To strengthen the squad, Ten Hag added new players including Antony, Casemiro, Christian Eriksen, Lisandro Martinez, Tyrell Malacia and Martin Dubravka during the summer transfer window.
Midway through the 2022-23 season, United made the decision to part ways with club superstar Cristiano Ronaldo in response to the Portuguese player's exclusive interview with Piers Morgan. United are currently looking for a top striker to potentially replace the 27-year-old after losing his No. 7. The club have Harry Kane on their shortlist for the position as he plays for Tottenham and England team. While Ten Hag has plans to improve things at Old Trafford, other moves could be on the way. However, let's see how Manchester United's squad can arrange for the 2023-24 Premier League season based on which players they have been linked with and should sign.

According to reports, Man Utd have made progress in the summer transfer despite persisting in their takeover with Harry Kane set to move to Old Trafford.
The Red Devils are currently in the process of a potential takeover with Qatar's Sheikh Jassim and Sir Jim Ratcliffe making bids for the Premier League club.
With no clear end in sight, Man Utd supporters fear the lengthy process could cause them to miss key transfer targets over the summer.
The main transfer target is still a striker. The Athletic revealed in April that Tottenham striker Kane had become their top priority after Erik ten Hag was 'sold' to the idea.
And now The Sun claim Kane 'just wants' to move to Man Utd this summer, or else he will 'cancel his contract' with just a year left on his current contract. The England captain 'has no intention of going abroad' as he comes close to Alan Shearer's Premier League goalscoring record, with Kane now 48 goals away from the former Newcastle United striker's 260 in the Premier League.
There have been reports of interest from Bayern Munich and Real Madrid from abroad, while Man Utd are the "only viable option for the Englishman this summer".
Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy would rather sell Kane to a foreign club than a Premier League rival and Man Utd 'now has to convince' the Spurs boss to sell.
The Sun believe Kane's contract cancellation is 'more likely' than his move to Man Utd and CBS Sports reporter Ben Jacobs insists a move for the England international 'would be very difficult'.
Jacobs also allayed concerns that Man Utd could not do any business while the takeover process continued with talks over multiple targets underway. The journalist told Caught Offside:
"Manchester United's sale process persists and risks overshadowing the first part of the transfer window. Erik ten Hag wants to move fast, but it remains unclear on June 14, when the transfer window opens, who will be. will spend the club's money.
"The recruitment team has been working as usual, so progress has been made (from a negotiating standpoint). Also, qualifying for the Champions League ensures a healthier budget, regardless of that. But there's no doubt Manchester United will have to weigh in a bit." be more careful in the market and will still be bound by FFP. "If Manchester United wanted Harry Kane, or a player like Dusan Vlhaovic, it would take a big chunk of their projected budget. Kane would be tough. As has been said before, Daniel Levy would be very demanding. stubborn.
"The reason Manchester United were looking into this deal so early was to find out if something was really possible. They didn't want to be bothered all summer. As for Spurs, sources still believe Levy will insist on asking Kane for another season even if it risks leaving him empty-handed next summer.
“However, the situation is different for Mason Mount. Chelsea will now sell if he doesn't agree to a new deal as the fee will be substantial. Manchester United are getting things done. Liverpool and Arsenal are still interested. "Manchester United's initial valuation is around £15m less than Chelsea would like, should Mount not choose to stay. It should also be noted that Mauricio Pochettino wants to keep Mount, but it remains to be seen if he can affect his stay. affect everything or not.
