Man United’s Five-Man Transfer Shortlist: Erik Ten Hag and Dan Ashworth Identify New Midfield Targets, Unwilling to Meet PSG‘s $51m Price for Manuel Ugarte
Manchester United‘s new manager Erik Ten Hag and director of football Dan Ashworth have identified five key midfield targets for the upcoming transfer window. The duo is keen on strengthening the team’s midfield, which has been a weak link in recent seasons.
Target 1: Manuel Ugarte
One of the top targets for Manchester United is Paris Saint-Germain’s Uruguayan midfielder Manuel Ugarte. However, the club is unwilling to meet PSG‘s $51 million price tag for the 22-year-old. Despite this, the Red Devils are keen on securing a deal for the talented midfielder.
Target 2: Declan Rice
West Ham United‘s Declan Rice is another name on Manchester United‘s shortlist. The 23-year-old English midfielder has been impressive for the Hammers, and his versatility and leadership qualities make him an attractive option for Ten Hag.
Target 3: Kalvin Phillips
Leeds United‘s Kalvin Phillips is also on the radar of Manchester United. The 26-year-old midfielder has been one of the standout performers for the Whites, and his ability to control the tempo of the game makes him a valuable asset for any team.
Target 4: Wilfred Ndidi
Leicester City‘s Wilfred Ndidi is another target for the Red Devils. The 25-year-old Nigerian midfielder has been consistent for the Foxes, and his defensive skills and ability to win the ball back make him a strong contender for a move to Old Trafford.
Target 5: Yves Bissouma
Brighton & Hove Albion‘s Yves Bissouma rounds off Manchester United‘s shortlist. The 25-year-old Malian midfielder has been impressive for the Seagulls, and his box-to-box style of play could be an excellent addition to the Red Devils’ midfield.
Manchester United‘s new management is keen on strengthening the team’s midfield to compete with the top teams in the Premier League. With these five targets, the club is looking to bring in quality players who can help them achieve their goals in the upcoming season.
