      A possible Utd XI built by Ratcliffe’s billions
      But Ten Hag would like a new right-back, and it’s reckoned he’s chasing Borussia Dortmund’s Thomas Meunier.
      Further up the pitch is where it gets exciting for United.
      They are desperate for a technical anchorman after missing out on Juventus’ Adrien Rabiot.
      And they are now in talks for Real Madrid superstar Casemiro – who has won FIVE Champions League titles.
      Barcelona’s Frenkie de Jong also remains on United’s shortlist despite being linked with a move to Chelsea.
      Other midfield targets include Brighton’s Moises Caicedo and Lazio’s Sergej Milinkovic-Savic.

      And United still have Bruno Fernandes and Christian Eriksen for playmaking options.
      As for the attack, United are yet to see the best from Jadon Sancho.
      And Cristiano Ronaldo is still expected to leave before deadline day while Marcus Rashford is wanted by Paris Saint-Germain.
      That opens the door for several reinforcements, with Atletico Madrid duo Joao Felix and Matheus Cunha linked this week.
      United also retain interest in Barcelona striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

      He said: “Ineos never wants to be the dumb money in town, never, never.

      “They (The Glazers and Manchester United) are in quite a big pickle as a business. They haven’t got the manager selection right, haven’t bought well.

      However, United are yet to submit an offer for the defensive midfielder.

      Previous reports have indicated Casemiro is ‘open’ to the transfer.

      The Red Devils interest in him was first reported when United football director John Murtough was present in Madrid to discuss a deal for Atletico Madrid star Joao Felix.
      United have already seen a £110m bid for the attacker rejected, with his release clause at the Wanda Metropolitano set at a whopping £295m.
