United hope to sign at least four key players during the summer transfer window. After Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's poor performance in the first half of the season, the Norwegian was sacked and replaced by Ralph Lonnick. Lonnick was temporarily appointed head coach until the end of the season, but after that he will continue in his advisory role at the club. United have a lot of areas to look forward to strengthening this summer and are prepared to wait until then to make a big deal rather than make a panic buy at the January transfer window.

United currently have Goalkeeper positions david De Gea, Dean Henderson, Lee Grant and Tom Heaton. However, Henderson is so hungry for regular playing time that he could go on loan or make a permanent transfer, while Grant's contract expires this summer. If the two leave, United will find a replacement for De Gea.
Right-back
Wan-Bissaka is an excellent one-on-one defensive player, but his offensive prowess has long been criticized not only under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, but also under Ronnick. In fact, the England international is now arguably the second option for right-backs, with Lonnick preferring Diogo Dalot in recent games. Whether the Portuguese are a long-term solution remains to be seen, but according to local media in Manchester, the team will need to sign a new right-back this summer. Trippier had been linked to Manchester United before signing with Newcastle, but now they may turn their attention to Brighton's Tariq Lampte.
Centre-forward
United's midfield has long been criticised, and this area is the main focus and area for improvement. It could also be the most costly position, as United are desperate to sign Decland Rice from West Ham. Rice's outstanding performance against Manchester United last weekend for the Hammers only raised his expectations at Old Trafford. Rice reportedly asked Harry Maguire and Luke Shaw about the club while playing for England, so he seemed interested in the move. Depending on the level of West Ham's greed, he could spend between £80 million and £100 million. But despite this, Rice is still United's number one transfer target this summer.

With the contracts of Cavani, Juan Mata and Jesse Jesse Jesse Lingard expiring in June, United could face a large number of strikers in the next six months, and Martial has asked to leave due to lack of playing time. The summer will require reinforcements from attacking players, and Lonnick hopes to sign Borussia Dortmund superstar Haaland as the main candidate. The Norwegian is one of the hottest strikers in world football and wanted by all the major clubs in Europe, but United want to use Haaland's previous relationship with Ronnick to give themselves an edge in the negotiations. However, Real Madrid is still a more likely destination for now.
