Frenkie de Jong is Erik ten Hag's priority target this summer. Manchester United have needed reinforcements in midfield for years and with the departures of Paul Pogba, Jesse Lingard, Juan Mata and Nemanja Matic, they are in even more need of additions.
Although De Jong is the main target, most fans believe that just securing the Dutchman's signature will not be enough to solve their midfield problems. Scott McTominay played as a defensive midfielder at times last season with limited success, and with Matic's departure, United now have no natural number sixes at the club.
And once you get past the midfield, United still have problems in defence and up front that they will need to solve in order to give Ten Hag the best chance of success. The issue is that United, for better or for worse, are still stuck trying to negotiate a deal for De Jong.
