The Athletic: Man Utd plan four major signings in blockbuster summer rebuild

Manchester United have now decided on their plans for the upcoming summer transfer window.

According to The Athletic, Man United currently aim to make four major signings, including two midfielders, an experienced striker and a left-back.

Casemiro is set to leave Old Trafford after his contract expires at the end of June.

Manuel Ugarte has failed to deliver and is set to be made available for transfer.

That would leave Kobbie Mainoo as the only senior central midfield option in the current squad.

As a result, United may need to bring in as many as three midfielders and are hopeful that one of their academy prospects can step up.

The Red Devils are closely monitoring Elliot Anderson, Carlos Baleba, Adam Wharton, Joao Gomes, Mateus Fernandes and Alex Scott.

Real Madrid star Aurelien Tchouameni is also being discussed in United meetings.

United have also accepted that signing a new left-back has to be a key agenda.

Luke Shaw has started every Premier League game this season, but history suggests he cannot be relied upon to play twice a week consistently.

With United looking set to qualify for the UEFA Champions League, Shaw may not be able to play every game.

Tyrell Malacia will leave the club after his contract expires this summer.

Harry Amass is a bright prospect but an injury in the second half of this campaign has raised doubts.

United explored the possibility of signing an experienced striker last summer before eventually settling on Benjamin Sesko.

They could now revisit that idea by targeting proven Premier League forwards such as Danny Welbeck.

The experienced Englishman has enjoyed a superb season and could ease the goalscoring burden on Sesko next term.
