Manchester United’s Transfer Strategy
Manchester United are actively looking to strengthen their squad this summer. Ten Hag is keen to add physicality to the team and make room for new signings. Recent signings such as Mason Mount and Andre Onana point to the importance of physicality in Manchester United’s midfield.
Meanwhile, Ten Hag is also looking to sell some players to make room for new additions. Donny van de Beek and Eric Bailly are already on the transfer list.
Striker options also remain a priority. Marcus Rashford’s versatility allows Ten Hag to experiment with a false nine in pre-season.
Overall, it looks like Ten Hag is aiming for success in his second season as Manchester United manager.
Potential Midfield Signings
Sofyan Amrabat from Fiorentina is heavily linked with a move to Old Trafford. Liverpool is also interested in signing him. United is looking to strengthen their squad to add physicality. The addition of Amrabat could have a significant impact on the team’s dynamics.
It is thought that Manchester United have already made room for another signing by offloading Fred for £13 million. However, Scott McTominay’s suitors have not met the club’s £45 million valuation. A successful signing of Amrabat could help United compete against other clubs for the midfielder’s signature. It would also add depth to the midfield, as well as a physical presence to the team.
As the transfer window nears its end, it remains to be seen if United will be able to secure Amrabat’s signature.
Players to Be Sold
Donny van de Beek is on the transfer list and United is pushing for a permanent sale. Eric Bailly is also not in Ten Hag’s plans and is waiting to leave. The club is actively looking for potential buyers for both players.
Al Nassr are in talks with Bailly, while Fulham are reportedly interested in signing him. Van de Beek, on the other hand, has been linked with a move to Juventus, Inter Milan, and Paris Saint-Germain.
Anthony Martial is also in the shop window and could be sold if a lucrative offer arrives. His contract expires next summer, so United will be tempted to sell if a suitable bid arrives.
With Manchester United looking to strengthen their squad, it’s clear that both van de Beek and Bailly need to be offloaded before any new signings can be made.
Striker Options
Marcus Rashford is the only other striker option for Manchester United besides Rasmus Hojlund. Erik ten Hag has experimented with Jadon Sancho as a false nine in pre-season, as well as giving youth prospects a chance at the striking role.
Martial’s future is uncertain, as his contract expires next summer, and the club will be tempted to sell him if a suitable offer arrives.
To strengthen the squad, Ten Hag is also looking at alternative attacking formations. The manager has been open to giving younger players a chance, and United have already seen promising performances from the likes of Amad Diallo and Shola Shoretire.
Overall, Ten Hag’s transfer plans appear to be a mix of youth and experience, as he looks to build a successful second season at Old Trafford.
