Thursday's infuriating 4-3 defeat to Chelsea underlined the fact that incomings and outgoings must occur at Manchester United.
Over previous seasons, the Red Devils haven’t recruited brilliantly, with multiple high-profile signings, such as Harry Maguire and Jadon Sancho, failing to impress.
That said, last summer was rather successful, with Rasmus Hojlund and Andre Onana already improving the team, despite results stating otherwise – the former having netted a respectable 13 goals in all competitions.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe will look to repeat that again at the end of the season, with one target surely being viewed as a replacement for Casemiro.
Man Utd’s midfield search
According to a report from journalist Graeme Bailey, Man United will attempt to complete a midfield overhaul in the summer.
With the new ownership, the Red Devils may raid French side Nice – who are also owned by Ratcliffe and Ineos – with Khephren Thuram the main target to replace the likes of Casemiro and Christian Eriksen, having been “discussed” internally.
The midfielder's exit from the Ligue 1 side seems inevitable, as this summer may prove to be the final opportunity for Nice to receive a large fee for him, with his contract expiring in 2025.
This means that a move to United at the end of the season is a possibility, but according to news from Italian outlet Gazzetta dello Sport, via Football Italia, he could cost around the £34m mark.
