The Red Devils have already completed two summer signings
Manchester United are looking to bolster their squad in the transfer window after an underwhelming campaign this season, not winning a single silverware. Their priority is to add defensive reinforcements and club will also look to sell few players to accommodate new signings.
The Red Devils are expected to be in the summer transfer window and already have completed two signings. Teenage full-back Diogo Dalot has signed from Porto, while a £52.5 million fee has been agreed with Shakhtar Donetsk for Brazil international Fred.
But the club are likely to invest more in order to strengthen the key areas as Jose Mourinho wants to challenge for Silverware in the upcoming season.
United legend Ryan Giggs believes the Premier League giants should invest in proven performers and urged them to to bring in a Toni Kroos type midfielder and a Rio Ferdinand-esque defender this summer.
The former United winger told the South China Morning Post: “I think up front we’re fine. With the firepower we’ve got [Romelu] Lukaku scores goals, [Alexis] Sanchez, [Marcus] Rashford, Jesse [Lingard]. You’ve got a lot of options up front.
“In midfield I’d like to see, we’ve been saying it for a long time, we thought [Paul] Pogba would be that attacking midfielder I would like to see.
“They don’t grow on trees unfortunately, a [Luka] Modric, a Kroos type who can keep the ball.
“And also I think a centre-half we need.
“All the successful United teams over the years – [Gary] Pallister, [Steve] Bruce, Jaap Stam, Ferdinand, [Nemanja] Vidic – they’ve always had top class centre halves.
“Again, they don’t grow on trees. Who do we get? I don’t know, but I think a midfielder and centre half are vital.”
The current Wales boss added: “I think United, there will be a lot of players going. There will be a lot of players coming in.
“Whereas City will probably just tweak, which is always a good thing if you’ve got a settled side and then you can bring in two big hitters who can just make that difference and take you up to the next level.”
