It's destined to be yet another intriguing and potentially expensive summer for Manchester United.
Though Erik ten Hag has done an excellent job since taking charge of the club last summer, the limitations of the poorly constructed squad he inherited are beginning to show as United's season fizzles out. Several positions are in need of significant reinforcement with midfield being one of the most important.
United lack strength in depth and are considerably worse when Casemiro or Christian Eriksen are missing or playing below par but the club's ideal targets may be out of reach. Even if Jude Bellingham wasn't seemingly heading to Real Madrid, United would struggle to sign him ahead of Manchester City and Frenkie de Jong has made it abundantly clear that he wants to stay in Barcelona.
