The Man Utd line-up that could win the Champions League next season, with midfield overhaul and lethal Serie A striker


MANCHESTER UNITED could be set for a big overhaul in the summer that could fire them to Champions League success.

Erik ten Hag won his first trophy with the club yesterday and he could be heavily backed when the transfer window opens.

Success in the Carabao Cup could provide a platform for a very productive season for United, who are also competing for the title, FA Cup and Europa League.

But next season they could have another target in mind – the Champions League.

And to achieve that aim Ten Hag could be given the funds to bring in a top quality striker.

Wout Weghorst was signed as a temporary solution in January but the Red Devils have since been linked with Harry Kane and Victor Osimhen.

Both would command significant transfer fees with Napoli striker Osimhen believed to have a £107million release clause.

But the two strikers would guarantee goals – Kane has 20 in all competitions this season while Osimhen has 21.

United are also planning to bolster their midfield and could finally land Declan Rice this summer.

West Ham are still demanding a significant fee for the England star, believed to be around £100m, while Arsenal are also threatening to pip United to the midfielder.

United are also considering a move for the in-demand Jude Bellingham, with Frenkie de Jong a backup option.

Ten Hag has also been keen to upgrade his right-back since his arrival despite the improved form of Diogo Dalot and Aaron Wan-Bissaka.

Dutch pair Denzel Dumfries and Jeremie Frimpong have been linked in the past and United could try again for the pair this summer.
