Manchester United are looking for defensive reinforcements and midfield options

Manchester United are actively working to strengthen their squad this summer as they look to bounce back from a disappointing 8th place finish in the Premier League last season.

The Red Devils are interested in signing Bayer Leverkusen defender Edmond Tapsoba to partner Lisandro Martinez at the back, with manager Erik ten Hag looking to overhaul his defensive options.

Everton’s Jarrad Branthwaite has also been identified as a target, but prying him away from Goodison Park could prove a challenge, with the Toffees demanding a fee of around £70-80m.

In midfield, Manchester United are open to keeping Sofyan Amrabat on a permanent deal following the Moroccan’s impressive end to the 2023-24 campaign.

Amrabat’s strong performances, particularly in the FA Cup final win over Manchester City, have convinced the club to keep him, especially if Casemiro could leave for Saudi Arabia this summer.

The Premier League giants are also interested in Sevilla striker Youssef En-Nesyri as they look to replace Anthony Martial.

The 27-year-old Morocco international has enjoyed a productive season in La Liga, scoring 20 goals, and could be available for a reasonable fee with his contract due to expire in 2025.

With new minority owners INEOS aiming to revitalize the club, Manchester United are determined to make the necessary signings to challenge for major honors next season.
