ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE has given a stunning nine-man shortlist when asked who Manchester United are most likely to sign this summer.
The Red Devils have had a successful first season under Erik ten Hag, finishing third in the Premier League, and could complete a domestic cup double if they beat rivals Manchester City in the FA Cup final on Saturday.
United are set to be busy in the transfer market, and need to sign a centre forward, having not replaced Cristiano Ronaldo as well as strengthening their midfield options.
These are the nine options AI has predicted could end up at Old Trafford this summer.
Harry Kane
The England and Tottenham captain is reportedly United’s number one target as they search for a goal scorer.
Kane will have one year left on his contract heading into the summer, but Spurs chairman Daniel Levy is notoriously difficult to negotiate with and a fee in excess of £100million could be required.

Mason Mount
The Chelsea midfielder appears set to leave Stamford Bridge this summer, with contract talks having ground to a halt.
Erik ten Hag is said to be driving United’s pursuit of the 24 year old and the club have been linked with a £55m move for the England International.
Declan Rice
The West Ham captain is widely expected to leave this summer with just a year left on his contract.
The 24 year old has been strongly linked with a move to Arsenal, whilst he is also a priority target for Bayern Munich.

Rice is set command a fee of around £90m, and United face a tough task to convince him to come to Old Trafford.
Alexis Mac Allister
The World Cup winner will leave Brighton this summer having helped them qualify for the Europa League this season.
It’s unlikely that the Argentine will be playing his football at Old Trafford, as he is very close to completing a move to Liverpool.
Jude Bellingham
The 19 year old wonderkid is set to be one of the most sort after players in the upcoming window.
However, the Borussia Dortmund midfielder won’t be playing in the Premier League next season as he is expected to complete a move to Spanish giants Real Madrid.
Frenkie de Jong
United tried to sign the Barcelona midfielder last summer but were unsuccessful in their pursuit of the Dutch international.
De Jong appears happy at the La Liga champions and is a key part of Xavi’s side.
Trying to prize him away from the Nou Camp could prove a very difficult task.
Youri Tielemans
The Belgian midfielder will leave relegated Leicester City on a free transfer and was linked with a move to Arsenal last summer.
A move for Tielemans wouldn’t be too difficult to complete for United with the player a free agent.
He has been linked with fellow Premier League clubs Newcastle, Liverpool and Aston Villa.
Nicolo Barella
Midfield star Barella has played a key role for Inter this season as they won the Coppa Italia and could help them lift the Champions League on June 10.
He has been linked with a move to rivals Liverpool and could be available this summer given Inter’s financial difficulties.

Denzel Dumfries
The Dutch right back was linked with a move to Chelsea last summer.
He’s enjoyed a productive season for Inter Milan, but it seems unlikely United will make a move for the 27 year old given the resurgence of Aaron Wan-Bissaka and the form of Diogo Dalot.
