Erik ten Hag is on the hunt for cheap additions, while Real Betis forward Assane Diao is a target for Liverpool and Chelsea.
Ten Hag would like to sign a striker as a back-up for Rasmus Hojlund, with Ivan Toney among his most wanted. But the Brentford striker is unattainable due to the Bees’ demand for close to £100million for the England international. So United are left searching for 2024’s Odion Ighalo or Wout Weghorst.
Ten Hag’s coffers would be topped up if United can ‘recoup a good chunk of money for Jadon Sancho’. Who in their right mind, though, would pay a sizeable sum for the exiled winger?, it will surely be on loan with an option to buy in the summer, which would do little in the short-term for Ten Hag. The veteran midfielder was outstanding in his first season at Old Trafford but this term, the 31-year-old has struggled for form and fitness.says Casemiro is one of the players being lined up by Pro League clubs ahead of the January window, and United could be open to a big offer if it means they recoup some of the huge outlay on his signing in summer 2022.
