New Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag is targeting at least five signings before the transfer window closes.
The Manchester Evening News understands United are making progress in discussions over a fee for Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong, with the Catalan club insistent that De Jong be sold despite his preference to stay.
Ten Hag earmarked Jurrien Timber as his prime defensive target and wants to sign Timber’s Ajax teammate, Antony, as well as Christian Eriksen, out of contract at Brentford next week.
