Stuttgart left-back Borna Sosa is a firm Manchester United target for incoming new manager Erik ten Hag, according to a report.
United are facing a busy summer transfer window of both departures and arrivals. Departures will be the first priority to oversee, with a quintet of players definitely on their way out.
As for arrivals, left-back Brandon Williams is one such player who is coming back from a loan spell. The 21-year-old has spent the season at Norwich and impressed, despite the Canaries’ relegation from the Premier League.

Indeed, Stuttgart’s Sosa is on his radar following the 24-year-old’s impressive spell in the Bundesliga.
Chelsea are also after the five-time Croatia international, but Ten Hag reportedly wants the Red Devils to beat their Premier League rivals to the full-back.
