According to reports, Manchester United has allegedly reached a consensus to secure the services of a fresh left-back for Erik ten Hag’s squad during the upcoming summer transfer window. The player has personally affirmed the transfer through his social media accounts.

Since the departure of Sir Alex Ferguson in 2013, Manchester United has faced a series of disappointing summer transfer windows, characterized by high-profile signings failing to meet expectations and deliver the anticipated results on the field.

Nonetheless, this summer carries considerable significance for Manchester United, as co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe intends to implement a new approach by potentially bringing in Dan Ashworth from Newcastle United as the sporting director. The objective is to enhance player identification and recruitment, replacing underwhelming and expensive signings with promising talents.

Reports suggest that the club is actively pursuing exciting prospects in multiple positions. Notably, there is speculation of a potential reunion between Erik ten Hag and Frenkie de Jong, who previously collaborated at Ajax.

The Barcelona midfielder is considered a major target for the United manager, although his availability is uncertain.

During their recent 4-0 defeat at Crystal Palace, Manchester United felt the impact of Michael Olise, who scored twice against them. The Frenchman has been linked with a summer move to Old Trafford, but Aston Villa is reportedly ahead in the race to secure his signature.

While Andre Onana has improved in goal for Manchester United after a shaky start, the club may be considering a superior replacement for him. Alex Remiro, the Spanish goalkeeper from Real Sociedad, is reportedly a target, having made 41 appearances in La Liga and the Champions League this season.

Regarding left-back reinforcements, promising young talent Dante Plunkett has made an announcement on Instagram confirming his agreement to join Manchester United. Plunkett, who developed through Aston Villa’s academy and impressed during a trial period, may not be immediately integrated into the first-team setup for the upcoming season. Nevertheless, his arrival adds excitement to Manchester United’s pool of young talents.

In recent years, Manchester United has frequently placed more emphasis on acquiring experienced players rather than investing in young prospects, following the post-Ferguson era. However, the signing of Dante Plunkett indicates a potential shift in strategy. The club aims for Plunkett to undergo development within their youth system, and considering the injury concerns surrounding Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia, there’s a possibility that Plunkett could be called upon earlier than anticipated.
