Manchester United are willing to try their luck again by signing FC Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong.
According to Samuel Luckhurst (Manchester Evening News), Erik ten Hag is interested in making at least two big signings in the summer.
A striker and a midfielder would be on his list of priority positions to reinforce.
Last summer United were heavily linked with the Dutchman and spent the whole summer negotiating, only for the transfer to fall through in the end.
Jude Bellingham is said to be another option being considered by the club.
United lack midfield depth and need a significant upgrade in the summer.
Ten Hag’s philosophy revolves around maintaining possession.
The team lacks a confident number 8 who can efficiently carry the ball into the second phase of the game.
De Jong would be the ideal choice.
As for the forwards, names like Harry Kane, Victor Osimhen, Goncalo Ramos or Mohammed Kudus interest the red devils.
The report says:
“United are interested in Napoli striker Victor Osimhen and have long admired Tottenham talisman Harry Kane. Ten Hag has been impressed with Benfica and Portugal’s goalscorer, Goncalo Ramos, and believes that Ajax leader Mohammed Kudus has the attributes to excel in the Premier League.”
