Manchester United is set for a busy summer as they look to reinforce their squad, with a number of high-profile players reportedly being targeted for the upcoming transfer window.
This season has been disappointing for the Red Devils, who currently sit 13th in the Premier League with just nine games left to play.
United will be looking to bounce back from a lackluster campaign, and Ineos, who have taken charge of football operations, will be hoping for more success in their second season at the helm.
As part of their efforts to strengthen the squad, United is expected to see significant departures.
Ten players are likely to leave Old Trafford this summer, with several others also up for sale, including Luke Shaw, despite limited interest in him.
To rebuild the team, United is focusing on four key areas that need reinforcement, with multiple exciting names being linked to the club in these positions.
Among the top targets, Francisco Trincao has reportedly been advised to make a move to Manchester United this summer.
Sources close to United’s transfer plans confirm that the club has identified Trincao as a prime target for the upcoming window.
The winger, currently playing for Sporting CP, has been told by his international teammates Bruno Fernandes and Diogo Dalot about the benefits of joining the Premier League giants, as per Graeme Bailey.
Notably, Cristiano Ronaldo has also recommended the move to Trincao, giving the former Barcelona starlet further encouragement.
United’s interest in Trincao is not new.

The club has been monitoring the 25-year-old for some time, and it is understood that he is considered a perfect fit for Ruben Amorim’s tactical setup at United.
Several figures at the club believe Trincao could provide the creative spark United’s attack has been lacking this season.
However, Trincao’s services won’t come without competition.
Manchester City, under their new director Hugo Viana, is also keen on the winger.
Viana, who previously worked at Sporting, has reportedly made Trincao a priority for City as part of their plans to strengthen their attacking options.
Along with Manchester City, other top European clubs, including AC Milan, have shown interest in the Portuguese international.
Despite this, Trincao is reportedly eager to return to the Premier League and make an impact, having previously played in England during a loan spell with Wolverhampton Wanderers.
If Trincao does make the move to United, it would be a significant signing for the club, with the Portuguese winger expected to cost around £30 million.
This price tag, along with the backing of United’s top players, makes it increasingly likely that Trincao will join the Red Devils this summer.
With United preparing for a major rebuild and several key players set to depart, the potential signing of Trincao would be a welcome addition as the club looks to bounce back from a challenging season and return to their former glory.
