According to the Mirror, Manchester United are poised to overhaul their squad in the summer, sending off a number of players while bringing in at least three strong signings. Victor Lindelof, who has been with Manchester United for many years, is leaving the club and his next stop could be AC Milan.
Manchester United's co-owner Ratcliffe is poised to make a major overhaul to his squad, with a number of players on the list of departures, including Raphael Varane, Casemiro, Christian Eriksen, Scott McTominay and Erik ten Hag's favourite Antony. At the same time, Ratcliffe does not fully trust Ten Hag, who could have to change managers if he does not secure a ticket to next season's Champions League. Ten Hag himself is still difficult to protect, so he can't take care of Antony, Manchester United spent 100 million euros to bring in the Brazilian winger, and if they can send him away at half price, they will be very satisfied.
The focus is on signings, with Ratcliffe having a clear plan and United targeting a striker, right-back and right centre-back in the summer window. At right-back, United's main target is Dumfries, who have long coveted the Dutch full-back. At Inter, Dumfries is in a secure position, but he is not for sale and needs a reasonable **. Manchester United are willing to offer 45 million euros for Dumfries, which is not far from Inter's psychological price, and the player's contract expires in the summer of 2025, which is not a low bid for a transfer to happen. If Dumfries is in place, then Aaron Wan-Bissaka will have to go, with United interested in using the latter as a bargaining chip to ask Crystal Palace for Olise.
At centre-back, Manchester United are poaching Juventus and they have caught up with Bremer. The Brazilian centre-back has been consistent and is one of the best centre-backs in Serie A at the moment, at the age of the best. For Bremer, Juve's psychological price is about 70 million, and Manchester United hopes to complete the transfer within 60 million, and their positioning of the player is the main central defender. However, United will need to compete with the likes of Bayern Munich and Chelsea, and if they do not qualify for the Champions League next season, the attraction of first-class players will not be enough. In the forward position, Hojlen's form is gradually improving, and United are planning to sign a quality winger to alike the former, with the aforementioned Olise a target for the Reds.
Elsewhere, United are scouting Luton midfielder Ross Barkley, a homegrown player who has impressed Ratcliffe. Ross Barkley comes through the Everton academy and has also played for Chelsea, Leeds United and other teams, and is now 29 years old. Barkley made a free move to Luton Town last summer and performed well, scoring three goals and providing three assists, for a transfer fee expected to be no more than 20 million euros. Ross Barkley's ability to run and make a difference at both ends of the pitch is one of the reasons United are looking at him as a rotation player and they need to increase the number of homegrown players, which is one of the reasons to consider signing the England star.
Finally, Victor Lindelof was also on the clean-up list, with the Swedish centre-back having spent seven years at United and currently playing as a rotational player. Victor Lindelof is more versatile and can play as a guest at two wing-backs, with the former being heavily used during Jose Mourinho's tenure. It is reported that AC Milan has met the 29-year-old Lindelof, the player's contract only has one year to expire, and the transfer fee is not expected to exceed 10 million, and the cost performance looks good.
