Manchester United have been solving one crisis after another in recent weeks while all their on-field activities as temporarily non-existent until league football returns in December after the ongoing 2022 FIFA World Cup is concluded.

The defense was improved on with the signing of Lisandro Martinez and Tyrell Malacia. The midfield was where the major improvement was made with the signing of Christian Eriksen as a free agent and Casemiro from Real Madrid.

WHO DOES UNITED WANT TO SIGN TO ADDRESS THE SITUATION?

Manchester United and Erik Ten Hag are reportedly going to discuss at length before they decide on a target but their fresh update suggests that the club is very much interested in a less financially demanding resolution as they can sign former player Memphis Depay for around four million euros compared to their targets under consideration.
