Last season was one to forget for Manchester United and manager Erik ten Hag as the club registered its lowest-ever Premier League finish while also exiting Europe before Christmas.

The Dutchman looked to be heading out the door but for a surprise FA Cup triumph and now with his job secure, the former Ajax coach needs help in the summer to turn things around.

United’s need for reinforcements is clear and with INEOS taking charge of their first transfer window since gaining control of the sporting structure at the club, a busy few months are expected.

After suffering a raft of injuries throughout last season, particularly in defensive areas, additions to the back line are likely to be prioritised.

As reported by AS, United could be lining up a surprise bid for Tottenham Hotspur full-back Sergio Reguilón.

Reguilón spent the first half of last season with United on loan but his temporary deal was terminated in January and was sent back to his parent club with Luke Shaw expected to return to full fitness.

However, Shaw failed to stay fit for long and despite the former Real Madrid star not setting Old Trafford alight, letting Reguilón go was arguably a mistake from the club.

The Spaniard featured 12 times for United and provided Ten Hag with another option with both Shaw and Tyrell Malacia out injured.

The Spaniard displayed plenty of passion and aggression but suffered from constant niggles which did not allow him to make a mark.

The Spanish international spent the second half of the season on loan at Brentford and is almost certainly going to leave Spurs this summer.

West Ham United are another Premier League team showing interest in the 27-year-old who has six international caps for Spain.

The asking price for the full-back remains unclear but with his Spurs contract expiring next summer, United will hope a relatively low fee will do the trick.

Tottenham Hotspur’s opening bid for Manchester United striker target Ivan Toney has reportedly been turned down by Brentford.

The number nine position is an area of the pitch United are eager to bolster this summer. Rasmus Hojlund showed great promise in the 2023/24 season but for one so young, he can’t be solely relied upon to lead the line for the club every week.

United also require quality depth up front, especially considering that Anthony Martial is set to officially depart Old Trafford once his contract expires at the end of the current month.

Alongside Toney, United have been linked to other goalscorers such as Matheus Cunha (Wolves), Viktor Gyokeres (Sporting Lisbon), Joshua Zirkzee (Bologna) and Benjamin Sesko, who recently signed a new contract to extend his stay with Bundesliga outfit RB Leipzig.

Toney managed four goals in two assists in the 17 Premier League matches he played last term since returning from an eight-month betting ban for breaching the Football Association’s gambling laws.

Erik ten Hag is believed to be an avid admirer of the Brentford talisman and a previous report covered by The Peoples Person relayed that the Bees want £60 million to part ways with him. It was stated that United are refusing to go any higher than £40 million for a player who has entered the final 12 months of his deal.

United are not the only party keen on adding Toney to their ranks. Tottenham Hotspur also like him and according to Football Transfers, the Lily Whites lodged an offer for him, which was swiftly rejected by Brentford.

The outlet states, “Tottenham had a bid turned down by Brentford for Ivan Toney, who has already verbally agreed personal terms with the side, FootballTransfers can reveal.”

“Sources reveal that while the England international has accepted a wage offer, Spurs’ £40 million bid was rejected by the West London club. Brentford are asking for a fee of £65m but it is understood that an offer of £55m would secure the deal.”

“We are told that Spurs have the financial capability to outbid any competitors for the Bees hitman. However, the available funds will need to be carefully managed, as the Lilywhites plan to bring in five new signings to boost their chances of securing Champions League football next season.”

Toney is not the only player Tottenham are battling United for.

Ange Postecoglou’s side are also in the race for Crystal Palace midfielder Eberechi Eze and as per Football Transfers, talks between Tottenham and Eze’s representatives are set to take place at the end of this week.

The right side of Manchester United’s attack remains one of their biggest concerns going forward during this summer’s transfer window.

The first priority, it appears, is to permanently cut ties with right-wingers Mason Greenwood and Jadon Sancho. The United academy product is attracting serious interest from Juventus and Valencia.

Borussia Dortmund, meanwhile, are keen on Sancho but are unlikely to sign him on a permanent basis. Regardless, United are expected to make an attempt to sign a new right-sided attacker after resolving the futures of their outcasts.

However, United can not afford to wait too much before approaching their targets, as they risk falling behind other suitors. Much has already been written about the strides Chelsea have made in their bid to sign Michael Olise.

Now a report from Spain suggests that another London-based club has left United behind in the race to sign Takefusa Kubo, who has also been linked with a move to Old Trafford in recent times.

According to Mundo Deportivo (via Sport Witness), United alongside Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool have enquired about Kubo, who primarily plays on the right flank for Real Sociedad.

While the La Liga outfit are yet to receive any offer from any club, Tottenham appear to be the most attentive to his situation.

It is reported Spurs are “very interested” in the 23-year-old forward, who moved to Sociedad from Real Madrid in 2022.

The Japanese sensation only signed a new deal with La Real earlier this year. His contract that lasts until 2029 reportedly includes a €60m release clause.

Tottenham ‘plan to make an offer’ for Kubo and all things suggest that they will have to submit a €60m bid to have any chance of signing the versatile creative force, who was involved in 12 goals in all competitions last season.

The reason behind Sociedad’s apparent hard-stance is believed to their agreement with Real Madrid. In the event his clause his activated, Los Blancos will allegedly received €27m.

Whether United would be willing to spend such a significant figure on the Real Sociedad star remains unclear.
