Ahead of Ruben Amorim’s first summer transfer window as Manchester United head coach, work has begun on identifying the club’s transfer targets.
A striker certainly looks to be a priority for the Red Devils, with Liam Delap, Victor Osimhen, Viktor Gyokeres, and Benjamin Sesko all linked.
And moves for defenders and midfielders could also be on the schedule.
United have suffered from long-term injuries to key players – Lisandro Martinez, Leny Yoro, Amad Diallo and Kobbie Mainoo this season, and will likely look to bolster their ranks to avoid a repeat of the crisis next season.
One of their reported targets, Tyler Dibling, could be on the move this summer, according to CaughtOffside.
Southampton have set a £100m price tag on the youngster, but Tottenham Hotspur, who are currently leading the race, believe the Saints could accept a package worth around £40-45m.
Dibling has impressed for Southampton this season, despite the club’s struggles to adapt to Premier League football.
With four goals and three assists, the 19-year-old has often stood out as a shining light for the club and has attracted interest from multiple Premier League clubs.
With Southampton’s relegation confirmed last week, any hope of retaining their academy graduate through the summer appears to be lost.
The winger has demonstrated excellent ability with the ball at his feet, and a keen eye for goal.
He impressed, notably, at Old Trafford earlier in the season, where, despite his team’s loss, Dibling made life difficult for United and was unlucky not to get on the scoresheet.
United will have to fight off a host of fellow interested clubs if they are to sign the teenager, including Arsenal and Tottenham, but the potential addition of exciting attacking talent could outweigh any concerns over the price tag.
