Erik ten Hag is set to be given a substantial budget to improve the Manchester United squad once he takes charge of the club at the end of the season.
Manchester United are looking to make additions to their forward line, midfield and defence in the next transfer window.
A centre-back is high on their agenda, but there are suggestions that they could sign more than one defender given Eric Bailly and Phil Jones are expected to move on in the summer.
But it has been claimed that for the moment Manchester United are only looking to sign one centre-back in the coming months.
The potential departures of Bailly and Jones are not expected to change their plans given the duo rarely played this season.
Axel Tuanzebe is set to return from his loan at Napoli and could be seen as an option by the incoming manager.
Manchester United are also expected to promote young defender Teden Mengi to the first team squad.
Ajax’s Jurrien Timber and Villarreal defender Pau Torres are likely to be centre-back targets for Manchester United.
