Manchester United FLOP has left Old Trafford this morning to join Saudi Arabia side in £50 miilin move

If a Manchester United fan said that the summer transfer window isn’t much more important than the ones in the past, they would be lying.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe needs to make a statement about his plans for the football club during his first summer transfer window as co-owner. This is after a disappointing eighth-place finish in the Premier League. Initial ideas say the British billionaire wants to be cheap during the transfer window. This makes sense, since he spent a lot of money during the summers before.

That being said, the founder of INEOS won’t get away with cutting corners on some of the big holes in this team. So, before the summer fun starts, MEN Sport has looked at what the club needs to do first.

Ten Hag made a choice.
We hope that this is over by the start of next week, but Ratcliffe needs to decide what will happen with Ten Hag before the rebuilding can start. As May goes on, it looks like the Dutch boss should stay on for next season.

This summer, there will be a lot of change at Old Trafford, and the players need to feel like they know the place. After the big loss at Crystal Palace, you might have thought that the team had given up on Ten Hag and was working to get rid of him. But they’ve come back strong since then, and the FA Cup win was the cherry on top.

Ten Hag also has an advantage because there aren’t many managers to choose from. The fact that Bayern Munich just hired Vincent Kompany, who was previously the manager of Burnley, shows how few managers are available.

Zinedine Zidane is the only player who can definitely make Ten Hag better, but it doesn’t look like he will ever come.

Signs for Branthwaite
If you want to make sure Ten Hag stays with the team, you should sign a center back right away. We need at least one more starting in central defense for next season because Lisandro Martinez and Harry Maguire are the only ones who are certain to be there.

MEN Sport has learned that Everton’s Jarrad Branthwaite is a player that United are interested in because he fits the profile of the player they want to sign. This young player has a lot of potential and will only get better if he makes Gareth Southgate’s 26-person Euro 2024 team.

Branthwaite could cost up to £80 million, but at 21 years old, he is already a great buy that could pay off in just two years.
