Manchester United are set to replace Erik ten Hag's three priority signings

Two years after Manchester United signed a goalkeeper, a playmaker and a striker they are set to sign a goalkeeper, a playmaker and a striker.

Ruben Amorim let it be known less than two months into his tenure he was keen on a new goalie. Andre Onana is expected to have stiffer competition, at the very least, next season.

Altay Bayindir, a frugal £4.3million signing on transfer deadline day in September 2023, will be sellable and Tom Heaton is considering retirement. United could end up needing two new custodians.

Inter Milan sold Onana to United for £47.2m and replaced him with Yann Sommer from Bayern Munich for a cut-price €6.5m a month later. Inter are two games away from a second Champions League final in three seasons. Onana, perhaps wistfully, often dines at the San Carlo Italian restaurant in Hale.

United had bigger priorities in Erik ten Hag's first summer in 2022: a defensive midfielder, a right winger, a centre back, a striker they never got. Ten Hag's perception of David de Gea evolved over their season together. Parting with nearly £50m for a 'keeper who left Ajax at the same time as Ten Hag was still a luxury the United manager should not have been afforded.

Ten Hag tried to make a midfielder out of Mason Mount and gave up after one season. Well, 20 games. Mount is still an appearance shy of the amount of matches he appeared in last term.

Liverpool and Arsenal were both circling for Mount and he would have been better suited to either of those clubs than United. Mount does his best work off the ball and was always going to be wasted in central midfield.

He started this term as United's No.10 and that did not last long. Mount was substituted after 58 minutes in the Community Shield, hooked on 61 minutes
