Erik ten Hag has made it clear to the Manchester United hierarchy that he wants a deal for a new No.9 wrapped up before the club embark on their pre-season tour of the United States at the start of July.
The club are currently in the midst of a complex takeover process after the Glazer family announced back in November that they had decided to put United on the market after 18 years at the helm.
A number of high-profile suitors, including Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani and lifelong United fan Sir Jim Ratcliffe, have submitted two rounds of bids for the club, but United are still working on plans for the future in the background.
