Erik ten Hag could have two Manchester United teams next season with six summer signings

Manchester United is gearing up for another crucial summer, as they enter the third phase of their squad rebuilding plan led by Erik ten Hag.

Manchester United’s upcoming summer transfer window is crucial in continuing the rebuilding project under Erik ten Hag.

While the club has made progress this season, they need to add fresh talent to maintain their momentum.

Ten Hag plans to be ruthless in clearing out players and bringing in new signings, including an elite-level striker and a central midfielder, as well as a new goalkeeper, right-back, and possibly a centre-back.

The club must strengthen both their starting XI and overall squad depth to compete for the Premier League title next season.

Harry Kane and Victor Osimhen are among the top striker targets, but their high fees mean United must be strategic with their budget.

They may also invest in an attacking midfielder, with Crystal Palace’s Eberechi Eze and Leicester City’s James Maddison as possible options.

In central midfield, United may target Youri Tielemans, who would be available on a free transfer after his contract with Leicester expires.

The club may also consider signing a new right-back, with Jeremie Frimpong as a potential target.

The goalkeeping position is also uncertain, with David De Gea’s future in doubt and the club interested in signing Anderlecht’s Bart Verbruggen as a backup option.
