If Manchester United can sign five new players, their squad depth for the upcoming season will increase.
Man United is probably going to be involved in the upcoming summer’s transfer window again.
Following the Premier League’s announcement on Wednesday morning, Manchester United will begin the summer transfer window in 19 days
It has been confirmed that the shop window will officially open on June 14 and remain open until Friday, September 1 at 11 p.m. This means that every top-flight club and EFL team will have more than two months to complete their tasks.
Of course, the hiring of Erik ten Hag last summer signaled the start of a new era at Old Trafford, making it one of the club’s biggest window’s in recent memory. In all, United added six new players, five of whom signed long-term contracts. These players include Lisandro Martinez, Casemiro, and Antony, among others.
Although last summer was significant, this upcoming window may also be very significant. Despite the gains United have made this season, they still require reinforcements.
The Reds’ transfer budget will be significantly drained by a move for Kane or any other high-profile striker with comparable goalscoring potential, so they might have to be strategic with the rest of their summer hiring drive. Victor Osimhen of Napoli is another target right now.
Furthermore, I want to find a new No. 9, Ten Hag is also adamant about bringing in a fresh central midfielder. Frenkie de Jong and Jude Bellingham have not completely ruled out new moves, though the latter is widely expected to join Real Madrid, as the Manchester Evening News reported back in December.
After working with De Jong at Ajax, Ten Hag was eager to see him again before the latter’s 2019 transfer to Barcelona. Nevertheless, the United manager views him as his ideal midfield target, so another transfer for the Netherlands international—who would lower United’s central-midfield options’ average age—cannot be ruled out just yet.
Mason Mount of Chelsea is another player who is currently being heavily linked with a move to Old Trafford. The Stamford Bridge international’s contract expires next summer, so the Londoners could make a profit on him now to avoid losing him for nothing the following summer.
Potential depth in the Manchester United roster for the upcoming campaign.

Although it is not known to have been the club’s top priority, adding another attacking-midfielder would be one of their wisest moves this summer
