According to the British media "Daily Mirror" news, Manchester United has formulated a transfer policy for the summer transfer market, which is specifically divided into "four stages". In fact, it is to reinforce 4 positions, which are midfielder, forward, goalkeeper and defender position.
The Reds have had a tough season so far, finishing fourth in the Premier League, up to 19 points behind the defending champions Manchester City. Today, United's fourth-place position doesn't look safe either, with Arsenal and Tottenham only two points behind United and potentially overtaking the Red Devils at any time. In addition, Lonnick's side has conceded goals throughout the season, conceding 30 goals in the Premier League, more than Burnley at the bottom.
In this case, United are aware that their midfield is their "biggest problem" and will try to adjust that position in the summer. West Ham's Dekland Rice is the Red Devils' main target.
The 23-year-old is part of England's euro 2020 final and is worth as much as £100 million. Other clubs are also following his development. British media learned that Rice was reluctant to leave West Ham in January as the Hammers were still competing for the top four and Europa League honours.
Manchester United star Paul Parker praised Rice, believing that Manchester United would bring him in no matter what. He said: "If you want to spend a lot of money in midfield, go buy Rice, Declan is the best midfielder in the country, he doesn't want to put any labels on it, he wants to control everything on the pitch. “
On the forward side, Lonnick has spoken to Haaland's father, but it was difficult for Manleon to strike the deal, and the Dortmund striker has many suitors. On the goalkeeper side, united look to bring in another goalkeeper to compete with De Gea if Dean Henderson leaves. In terms of right-backs, Trippier, who moved to Newcastle, is still a big choice for Manchester United, while Brighton defender Lamptey has also become a target for Manchester United.
In addition, Manchester United now have a first-line squad of up to 29 people, and cleaning has become a major job in the summer window. According to the report, Cavani, Pogba, Jesse Lingard, Mata and Lee Grant have their contracts closed in June, and these five people may leave the team. United also want to sell Bailey and Phil Jones to make room for the introduction of defenders.
In addition, Manchester United has an important element to do, that is, to find a long-term replacement for Lonnick. Interim manager Ronnick will begin a two-year consultancy job in the summer.
