Regardless of how the rest of this season goes for Manchester United, it is already clear that manager Erik ten Hag has grand ambitions of strengthening his squad further during the summer transfer window.
United, who will be looking to seal their place in next month's Carabao Cup final at Wembley when they face Nottingham Forest in the second leg of their semi-final showdown on Wednesday night, invested a record-breaking £225.4million during Ten Hag's first transfer window last summer. They brought in six new additions, five of which were permanent signings, to kick-start their squad rebuild.
Though United significantly strengthened their defensive and midfield options, they failed to recruit the world-class striker that they are in desperate need of. Cristiano Ronaldo, though he failed to impress under Ten Hag, left Old Trafford in November and the club is yet to fill his vacated role with a permanent signing.
