Ben Jacobs claims that regardless of any potential club takeovers that might be in the works, Manchester United is eager to sign at least two new players early this summer.
While there have been rumours of a possible takeover in the near future for the club, the Red Devils aren’t waiting and want to get right to work, eyeing two potential early signings. Despite having a successful first season under Erik ten Hag, the club has clear plans to make several significant moves this summer.
United wants to strengthen the team in preparation for their entry into Europe’s premier competition since they finished third in the league this season and will be back in the Champions League the following year.
What is the newest transfer news regarding Manchester United?
Several big-name stars have already been connected to United this summer. Mason Mount and Declan Rice, both midfielders in the Premier League, are just a couple of the impressive players the Red Devils have expressed interest in.
The South Korean defender Kim Min-jae of Napoli, who has a release clause in his Napoli contract, is another name that is reportedly on United’s summer wishlist.
Ten Hag’s team will have plenty of work to do in the summer, and it appears they’re in a hurry to get started. Harry Maguire and Anthony Martial are just two of eight United players who have been linked with moves away from the Red Devils.
Ben Jacobs’ comments regarding Manchester United?
The potential takeover of United, with multiple bidders vying for their business, is currently the biggest story in the area.
The Red Devils could have waited until after any potential sale to start working on the transfer window, but according to Jacobs, they actually want to bring in a few players now, regardless of any potential takeover.
He said on The Football Terrace’s Done Deal Show: “Manchester United, as I understand it, would like to bring two in early in the window, regardless of the ownership situation.”
Furthermore, he predicts that United will have about £100 million to spend on the two prospective additions before later in the summer considering marquee names like Harry Kane to fill the goal-scoring position they’re targeting.
“They want to keep that spend around the £100 million mark if they’re going to bring in two other players away from that traditional number nine role, where a large investment is needed for one player.
United supporters should be pleased with the news, as the team appears prepared to make significant purchases as Ten Hag looks to build on his productive first season with the team.
