Incoming Manchester United head coach Erik ten Hag is reportedly determined to bring a new centre-back, a central midfielder and a striker to Old Trafford during this summer's transfer window.
Ten Hag will officially begin his work as manager of the 20-time English champions at the end of the season, but the Dutchman is already believed to be working behind the scenes to identify potential signings.
According to The Guardian, the 52-year-old has identified central midfield as an area of weakness, with West Ham United's Declan Rice viewed as a leading target.
Meanwhile, the report claims that Ten Hag also wants to bring a new centre-back and centre-forward to the club to boost the squad for the 2022-23 campaign.
Benfica's Darwin Nunez continues to be strongly linked with a switch to Old Trafford, and he is thought to be viewed as a cheaper alternative to Tottenham Hotspur's Harry Kane.
Villarreal's Pau Torres, meanwhile, has allegedly emerged as a centre-back target once again, with the Spain international expected to be on the move in the upcoming market.
Meanwhile, Ten Hag has reportedly already decided that he wants to keep hold of Marcus Rashford this summer despite the Englishman's struggles during the current season.
