Manchester United, under Erik ten Hag, plan to strengthen their squad in 2025.
Despite bringing in five new players during the summer, their start to the season has been rocky, with only one win in their first three games.

This has led the club to explore options for bolstering key areas.
Focus on central defence
One key area ten Hag wants to improve is central defence. Harry Maguire and Jonny Evans are both in the final years of their contracts.
Maguire’s future is uncertain, while Evans may retire at the end of the season. Manchester United are now searching for replacements to ensure depth in the backline.
Bayer Leverkusen’s Jonathan Tah is one of the players United are considering, as relayed by centredevils this morning.
Tah, who is 28 years old, is in the last year of his contract with the Bundesliga champions.
He has no intention of extending his stay, making him a free agent in 2025.
Manchester United, however, will face competition from Liverpool and Chelsea for his signature.
United “very interested” in Unai Simon
United are also looking to strengthen their goalkeeper options.
According to a report from Spain relayed by Manchester World, they are “very interested” in Unai Simon, the 27-year-old goalkeeper from Athletic Bilbao.

Simon had an impressive European tournament with Spain, playing a significant role in their success.
According to the report, United are willing to pay a “considerable sum” for Simon.
He ranks in the 97th percentile for penalty-saving, stopping three out of every four spot-kicks he faces.
Simon, who currently earns £69,000 per week, is under contract with Bilbao until 2029.
Securing his transfer might be difficult, but United are prepared for the challenge.
It looks like both Jonathan Tah and Unai Simon are part of United’s vision to build a stronger squad for the future.
However, with other top clubs showing interest, securing these deals will require significant effort.
