Manchester United ‘will target at least two major summer signings’ with strikers Victor Osimhen and Harry Kane plus midfielders Frenkie de Jong and Jude Bellingham among potential recruits… but players will have to be sold first
- Manchester United are already drawing up their transfer plans for the summer
- Club will prioritise a centre forward and a midfielder to boost Erik ten Hag
- But players will have to be offloaded to comply with UEFA financial rules
Manchester United will reportedly target at least two major signings this summer to continue their momentum under Erik ten Hag.
A centre forward and further reinforcements in midfield will be United’s priority in the next transfer window, with a centre-back also potentially needed if captain Harry Maguire leaves.
United ended their six-year trophy drought by beating Newcastle United 2-0 to win the Carabao Cup at Wembley on Sunday and Ten Hag’s side remain in contention in the Premier League, FA Cup and UEFA Europa League this season.
But, according to the Manchester Evening News, plans are already taking shape for further strengthening of the United squad in the summer.
United are interested in the Napoli striker Victor Osimhen and Tottenham’s Harry Kane, while Ten Hag is an admirer of Benfica and Portugal marksman Goncalo Ramos.

The manager also believes Mohammed Kudus, who plays for his former club Ajax, also has what it takes to prosper in the Premier League.
In midfielder, Ten Hag could be open to a renewed pursuit of Barcelona’s Frenkie de Jong, a player he was desperate to sign last summer.
Given that Barcelona need to sell players to ease their financial issues, a second swoop for the Netherlands international could prove successful.
The United manager would also reportedly endorse a move for Borussia…
