Man Utd: One addition a 'must' for Ten Hag at Old Trafford

Manchester United are set to be in for a ‘busy summer’ as incoming boss Erik ten Hag ‘must’ prioritise strengthening his striker options after moving into the Old Trafford dugout, according to journalist Pete O’Rourke.

Ten Hag, who is currently in charge of Dutch giants Ajax, has been confirmed as the Red Devils’ chief from the end of the season.

He may not be in the red half of Manchester yet, but it has been revealed that Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane, West Ham United midfielder Declan Rice, Brighton & Hove Albion star Yves Bissouma and Ajax defender Jurrien Timber are high on ten Hag’s list of targets.

Meanwhile, Spanish sources have claimed Manchester United have been boosted in their pursuit of Barcelona ace Frenkie de Jong.

The report suggests the Catalan giants are willing to offload the 40-cap Netherlands international if a bid worth £58million is lodged.

Christopher Nkunku has also been the subject of interest from the Red Devils, but current employers RB Leipzig would reportedly prefer to hold onto their star man for one more season before sanctioning his departure in 2023.
