Regardless of who the new coach will be, there are some urgent transfer needs for the Red Devils that must be addressed, according to CaughtOffside sources with knowledge of the club’s plans.

A new centre-back remains the priority, with Nice’s Jean-Clair Todibo always among the top targets.

Erik ten Hag will know his Man United fate shortly

The French defender aroused a small amount of interest from Liverpool, but the Reds seem to be more interested in Eintracht Frankfurt’s Willian Pacho and Sporting’s Gonçalo Inacio.

As previously detailed INEOS are pushing hard for Todibo and, in addition, are intending to make a huge effort and formulate a specific approach to land Crystal Palace ace, Michael Olise.

The 22-year-old winger is highly appreciated by the management team and would undoubtedly strengthen United’s attack.

In midfield, Juventus ace, Adrien Rabiot, remains an option even if his agent – his mother – has already met with the Bianconeri hierarchy to understand the margins for the player to continue at the club.

Other English clubs are also making moves for the player, including Newcastle, as Bruno Guimaraes could leave in the summer.

At the end of the day, the French player will decide to join the team that will offer him the most in terms of salary.

Aaron Wan Bissaka could also leave Old Trafford this summer.

There is concrete interest from Italy and England, with Man United already scouring the market for his possible replacements.

The names of Dumfries, Vanderson and especially Frimpong – also highly appreciated by Bayern Munich – are at the top of their list.
