Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag is expected to ignore transfer advice given to him by a former Red Devils player and pursue his own targets.
The Dutchman has been clear from the very beginning of his United reign as to who he wants to bring to Old Trafford during his first transfer window at the helm. The club's main target remains Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong, while attacking midfielder Christian Eriksen is also high up on the wish list.
From a defensive viewpoint, United remain keen on Ajax central defender Jurrien Timber and his teammate at the Amsterdam Arena Lisandro Martinez. However, the Red Devils face competition from Premier League rivals Arsenal for the latter - with the Gunners already submitting two bids for the Argentina international.
