ERIK TEN HAG could name a much-changed Man United side next season with another summer transfer window under his belt.
The Dutch manager is likely to be backed again after impressing in his first season in charge of the club.
Ten Hag, 53, has led the club to a Carabao Cup victory and has his side still competing for a Champions League spot as well as in the FA Cup and Europa League.
In the build-up to the next transfer window, the Red Devils have been heavily tipped to make a move for England top scorer Harry Kane.
The Spurs star, 29, is believed to be at the top of the club’s wishlist as they look to sign a top-class No.9.
Kane’s deal at Tottenham expires at the end of next season and United are hopeful that they can pick him up for £80million.

Kane would fit into the club’s style and would be in familiar surroundings with England internationals Marcus Rashford, Luke Shaw, Jadon Sancho and Harry Maguire already at there.
Another striker option for Ten Hag is Napoli’s leading goalscorer Victor Osimhen.
The striker, 24, has excelled in Serie A this season and has consistently been linked with a move to Old Trafford.
The club could also have to sign a replacement for goalkeeper David de Gea.
