Goalscorers, creators and five stars Manchester United could target to underline transfer plan

Manchester United have been forced into tweaking their recruitment plan this summer, but Erik ten Hag and key figures at Old Trafford will still have one eye on the future.

After striking deals for Andre Onana, Mason Mount and Rasmus Hojlund for a combined £180million-plus, United could move for either Ryan Gravenberch and Sofyan Amrabat with both being monitored. That interest has ramped up following an injury to Mount.

As reported by Manchester Evening News this month, the club are tracking potential targets who will only have 12 months to run on their respective contracts before next season starts. That's an avenue they used to good effect to sign Mount as we take a look at five, possible, follow-up options from the Premier League.
