Starting in goal, there’s a debate over the future of . The Cameroon goalkeeper has been blighted by a series of errors since his big-money arrival from Inter Milan. And United could look to move him on amid interest from Saudi and raid relegated for Mads Hermansen. The Dane has shone during the past two seasons in the Midlands and could potentially be available for around £35m.

Moving into defence, the Red Devils look pretty well set. They spent huge fees on Leny Yoro and Matthijs de Ligt last summer and the pair look set to be a key part of the defence.

The same could also be said of Lisandro Martinez, who looks likely to recover from the serious knee injury he picked up earlier this season. Patrick Dorgu should also remain in the side despite a slow start to life at Old Trafford. A number of defenders could consequently leave the club including Tyrell Malacia, Jonny Evans and Victor Lindelof - the latter two having already confirmed their departures.

Midfield could however look very different come next season. Atalanta midfielder Ederson has long been linked with a move to the Premier League, with among those interested. United could muscle in on their rivals’ interest but it won’t be cheap with the Serie A side having put a £63m price tag on the Brazilian. Manuel Ugarte looks set to be a key player under Ruben Amorim - particularly in games where that greater level of midfield graft, rather than craft, is required, after acclimatising to life in the Premier League.

Who should Man United sign this summer?

United’s season this term really stumbled due to their lack of goal threat and that could see the club completely transform their frontline. On-loan stars Antony, and Jadon Sancho could all be sold permanently.

They could be joined by Alejandro Garnacho, Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee in leaving. The first attacking signing of the new era looks set to be star Matheus Cunha, who will likely put pen to paper at Old Trafford after

He could also be joined by fellow Premier League star Bryan Mbeumo. Reports have suggested that the Red Devils have opened talks for a £50m deal for the 20-goal forward but they could face competition from .

Finally, a new central striker could be on the agenda for United. Liam Delap is among the targets, albeit look to be moving ahead in the race for the Ipswich star.

That could potentially see United move their crosshairs to , who has spent the past season with Turkish side Galatasaray. And he could be available for as little as £51m this summer. He would be the ideal replacement to solve the club’s goalscoring issue following another brilliant campaign.

Potential Man United XI: Hermansen; Yoro, De Ligt, Martinez; Dalot, Ederson, Fernandes, Dorgu; Mbeumo, Cunha; Osimhen.
