This June will be a busy and expensive time for Manchester United. Erik ten Hag did his best in the transfer window in June 2022 and now is the time for him to have more money to find the remaining pieces to make Manchester United stronger.
The Old Trafford team has been stronger than they were last season, but to compete in big competitions like the Premier League or Champions League, it is still a distant thing but it cannot be without it. Some stars will be eliminated to make way for newcomers this summer.
Goalkeepers: David De Gea, Tom Heaton, Jack Butland
Dean Henderson still has a contract with Man United but it would be a shock if the goalkeeper returned to Old Trafford to reserve De Gea. Henderson himself is doing well at Nottingham and he also shared in front of the media with the intention of not wanting to return to M.U.
De Gea is still number 1 in the goal under Ten Hag, he will have a stable reserve, Heaton. This summer, Butland will expire with Crystal Palace. If Man United need a third goalkeeper as a reserve, Butland is a good option.
Defenders: Diogo Dalot, Denzel Dumfries, Rafael Varane, Lisandro Martinez, Victor Lindelof, Kim Min-jae, Luke Shaw, Tyrell Malacia
Phil Jones and Axel Tuanzebe will leave when their contracts expire. Eric Bailly and Brand Williams will find a way to leave because they have no more places. Meanwhile, Alex Telles is also out of use and will be sold early to recover capital.
Captain Harry Maguire is looking for a new destination to save his career. If Maguire leaves, Kim is a very good option, increasing the competition in the centre-back pair with Varane and Martinez.
Despite his progress, Aaron Wan-Bissaka has never been the winger Ten Hag wanted. If they sell the English defender, the "Red Devils" will have the opportunity to approach dumfries and bring him back to compete with Dalot.
Midfielders: Jude Bellingham, Casemiro, Christian Eriksen, Fred, Marcel Sabitzer, Bruno Fernandes, Scott McTominay, Kobbie Mainoo
Man United is in a race for Bellingham's signature with Man City, Real Madrid and Liverpool. This was a very difficult match and it cannot be denied that Man United are in a lower position. If Dortmund turn the lights on the Old Trafford team, the price to get Bellingham would be at least about 120 million pounds.
Ten Hag could keep Sabitzer as a tactical backup as the Austrian midfielder is showing good adaptation. McTominay is not the option in the starting lineup, but if he needs a strong enough source of energy to regain his spirit in the deadlocked minutes, the Scottish midfielder does this better than anyone.
Meanwhile, Donny van de Beek is sure to find a way to leave Manchester United because of his nightmares, injuries and in reality not being of good quality.
Forwards: Harry Kane, Marcus Rashford, Mohammed Kudus, Jadon Sancho, Antony, Alejandro Garnacho, Manuel Pellistri, Amad Diallo, Wout Weghorst
Kane has always been a target for Man United in recent years and the reality also shows how much the "Red Devils" are hungry for a classy striker. However, if they have Kane, it does not mean that M.U does not have the right to buy another center forward. Ajax Amsterdam's Kudus is a promising star, completely capable of being a reserve and gradually replacing Kane.
Weghorst is unlikely to score consistently, but that does not mean he is useless at Old Trafford. This season's reality shows that the Dutch striker has participated in remotely blocking and building walls for his teammates very well. Ten Hag himself also acknowledged the selfless efforts of his compatriot. Meanwhile, his form while on loan at Sunderland could pave the way for Amad to return to Old Trafford.
At that time, Anthony Martial should be sold because he is no longer in use and Anthony Elanga should be loaned out for more development opportunities.
