2 (and 2 more) positions Ten Hag would want to reinforce
Erik ten Hag will be tasked with overseeing a rebuild at Manchester United and it's clear that the Red Devils are in dire need of reinforcements. A host of players are set to leave the club this summer and replacements will have to be signed.
The Dutchman is expected to target a striker and a midfielder first with Man United finding themselves short of options in those positions. Should they secure their preferred targets, the 52-year-old manager would then look at bringing in a few defenders: a centre-back and a full-back.
10 potential arrivals for necessary positions
Man United have been linked with Christopher Nkunku, Victor Osimhen and Darwin Nunez as their next no.9 in the wake of Edinson Cavani's departure.
Declan Rice, Frenkie De Jong and Sergej Milinkovic-Savic have been mentioned as potential midfield reinforcements ahead of the Premier League 2021/22 campaign.
As for the defenders, the Red Devils are will reportedly be a close eye on Pau Torres, Goncalo Ignacio, Nordi Mukiele and Jurrien Timber this summer.
8 players Ten Hag should sell
Man United will see a wave of departures this summer, making it easier for Ten Hag to clear up the space for future arrivals ahead of the rebuild.
Lee Grant, Nemanja Matic, Juan Mata and Edinson Cavani are confirmed to leave Old Trafford next month when their contracts at the club expire.
The exits of Paul Pogba, Andreas Pereira and Jesse Lingard are all but official and should be confirmed in the next few weeks.
However, the Dutchman should consider getting rid of Dean Henderson, Aaron-Wan-Bissaka, Phil Jones, Brandon Williams, Axel Tuanzebe, Tahith Chong, Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial in case they decide to stick around.
