Manchester United aim to build upon a successful first season under Erik Ten Hag, which culminated in the club winning its first trophy since 2017. The recent acquisition of Mason Mount from Chelsea fills a significant need in the squad, but United is still looking to make further additions.
However, with Mount’s reported transfer fee of £55 million, plus an additional £5 million in add-ons, the club is left with a reported £60 million remaining in its transfer budget. This amount falls far short of the number needed to pursue Ten Hag’s ambitious goals of signing a star number 9 and goalkeeper.
