Manchester United’s first pre-season under Erik ten Hag is officially underway, with a portion of the first-team squad reporting to Carrington on Monday.
The Dutchman was hoping to have a raft of new players in attendance for his first session, but the club’s efforts to sign reinforcements have so far come up short. That could change this week however, with reports suggesting a deal for Barcelona's Frenkie de Jong could be close.
His signing could signal the start of the influx of players having identified the Netherlands international as the priority target for his first window in the Old Trafford dugout. After the midfielder’s arrival it is expected attention will shift to signing a versatile forward player, before attempting to land a central defender and a full-back.
