Previously, according to ESPN, Tenhag's reinforcement budget this summer is between 100 million and 150 million pounds. United's reinforcements department is working on plans to bring three new signings to the team.
To be honest, with United's performance this season, if only 3 players are brought to Tenhag this summer, I am afraid it will be difficult to give too high expectations for the new season. Sure enough, a little earlier reliable sources revealed the latest news in this regard. According to British veteran Duncan Castles, United's plan this summer is to sign six players, with the centre-forward, back-back, centre-back and right-back being the top priority, and the midfielder and right-back will be reconsidered according to Tenhag's assessment of the team's squad, which is already very clear.
6 instead of 3, this plan is obviously more reliable.
Regardless of whether Ronaldo chooses to stay in the team after the end of the season, United will definitely need to bring in a new center in the summer window. On the one hand, C Ronaldo will be 38 years old next year, although his goal scoring ability is still outstanding, but the team's scoring responsibility to a veteran, which obviously can not be called a reconstruction; on the other hand, Greenwood's future is uncertain, Martial is likely to leave the team, and the running ability is not up to Tenghag's requirements, Cavani's contract expires and leaves the team, and Manchester United's center forward position is unprecedentedly weak. Therefore, a young center with both strength and potential is just needed.
Needless to say, this position is the biggest shortcoming in The Manchester United squad, and it has been talked about for several years, and it must be solved this summer.
Manchester United's centre-backs seem to be numerous, but none of them are reliable. Bailey and Jones are certainly not up to the main level, Maguire has become the biggest hidden danger in the defense, Varane has the ability but the injury increases, and Lindelof's height and confrontation are hard injuries. A stable and strong backline is fundamental to the team's success, as can be seen from Guardiola's rebuilding of Manchester City and Liverpool's rebuilding of Liverpool.
There are already 4 positions that have to be filled, so only 3 new signings is certainly not enough. As for the midfielder and the right winger, there are indeed variables at the moment. First, van der Beek is a variable. He was a midfielder in Tenhag and had a good working experience. At the end of the season, van der Beek will most likely return to Manchester United, and if Tenhag can activate the veteran's form, it will be a 40 million-level reinforcement.
There are also variables in the winger position because of Marcus Rashford. The British star is in a worrying state this season and his contract is about to expire, leaving the team. There have been rumors that he wants Tenhag to clarify his position in the team. Then Tenhag will certainly communicate with Rashford, and after that, Rashford's future may be decided. Once Marcus Rashford decides to leave, Tenhag will be looking for a new winger, with the number one target being Ajax's Brazilian winger Anthony.
