Under new manager Erik ten Hag, Manchester United has not yet announced their first official summer addition, but there is a good chance that several talks have taken place with the clubs and agents of some of their top targets.
The Red Devils are ‘preparing’ a £40 million bid for a Portuguese defender from Sporting Lisbon, according to the most recent reports. Meanwhile, Matthijs de Ligt, the center-half for Juventus, has responded to rumors that he is interested in moving to the northwest.
In the previous season, the 24-year-old played in 42 games for the Primeira Liga team, netting five goals. They won the Portuguese League Cup, placed second in the league, and advanced to the UEFA Champions League Final 16.

According to the source, Man Utd has prepared an offer of €40 million plus a further €5 million in bonuses, bringing the total to his €45 million release clause. However, that would not happen until the full amount was paid in full. The two other interested clubs, reportedly Wolves and Newcastle, are said to be “on the same level,” but Man Utd has an advantage because Inacio views them as a bigger club than their two Premier League rivals.
Man United winger Jadon Sancho, according to former Premier League striker Noel Whelan, is “in danger of missing out on the World Cup” unless he improves his play in the upcoming campaign.
