As the transfer window looms large, Manchester United has set its sights on a slew of potential targets to bolster its squad for the upcoming season. With rumours swirling and speculations rife, let's delve into the reported transfer plans that could shape the future of the Red Devils.

 

1. Right Winger - Michael Olise

 

At the top of United's wishlist is Reading's prodigious talent, Michael Olise. With a release clause of £60 million and the player reportedly open to a move, securing Olise's services could inject dynamism and creativity into United's right flank.

 

2. Center-Back - Priority Target

 

United's quest for defensive reinforcements sees them eyeing Jarrad Branthwaite, although the pursuit hinges on negotiations over the price tag. However, other options such as Todibo and Tosin are being considered for a more cost-effective solution.

 

3. Defensive Midfielder/Central Midfielder

 

The midfield engine room is another area earmarked for strengthening, with a host of names on United's radar. Fofana, Hjulmand, Onana, and Gomes are all being monitored as potential additions to provide depth and quality in midfield.

 

4. Left Back - Scouring for Value

 

Fabrizio Romano's insight hints at United's pursuit of a left-back under £25 million, with Kerkez, Bard, and Maatsen emerging as viable options to bolster the defensive ranks without breaking the bank.

 

5. Right Back - Eyeing Jeremy Frimpong

 

In a bid to fortify the right side of defence, United is reportedly considering a move for Jeremy Frimpong, albeit at a hefty price of £45 million. Frimpong's pace and attacking prowess could offer a new dimension to United's backline.

 

6. Supporting Striker for Hojlund - Potential Signings

 

As United seeks to provide ample support to its attacking lineup, names like Joshua Zirkzee and Victor Gyökeres have been mooted, with respective price tags of £40 million and £90 million. These acquisitions aim to complement Hojlund and enhance United's attacking options.

 

Who Should Lead the Line?

 

With a plethora of options being explored at center-back, the decision on who should partner at the heart of United's defence remains a conundrum. Guehi, Kilman, Yoro, Bremer, and Colwill offer varying skill sets and attributes, leaving fans and pundits alike pondering over the ideal defensive pairing.

 

As the transfer saga unfolds, Manchester United's ambitions are palpable, as they strive to assemble a squad capable of challenging for domestic and European honours. The coming weeks promise intrigue and excitement as the Red Devils look to shape their future on and off the pitch.
