Chido Obi, Ayden Heaven and Leny Yoro being examples – as the Red Devils aim to build a squad capable of competing for years to come.
Striking the right balance between youth and experience will be key, as United prepare for a summer of high turnover.
CentreDevils earlier reported of United’s interest in Serie A defender, Pietro Comuzzo.
The focus on centre-backs doesn’t necessarily come as a surprise, considering Jonny Evans and Victor Lindelof are expected to depart in the summer.
Now, yet another centre-back is on the club’s radar.
Yes, you guessed it – another young prospect too who is catching the eye of potential suitors.
Jason Wilcox looking into Juanma Herzog as potential addition
That player is Las Palmas centre-back Juanma Herzog, who has had a breakout season in La Liga.
Sources have confirmed to United in Focus via Graeme Bailey, that United like Herzog and have monitored his progress closely.
Jason Wilcox is looking at several young defenders, with Juan Gimenez also being of major interest.
Although he’s not a household name yet, Herzog is being viewed as a ‘one for the future’ at Old Trafford.
His current contract is set to expire in June, though Las Palmas do hold a two-year option which they are expected to trigger.
Even so, the potential availability of a player of Herzog’s calibre has caught the attention of United’s recruitment team, who are eager to pounce on any opportunity to strengthen the squad’s long-term foundations.
As Wilcox continues his audit of young defensive talent, Herzog is now on the list of options under consideration.
