10 Players Linked With Manchester United

10 Players Linked With Manchester United

With Erik ten Hag having reportedly reached an agreement to become Manchester United's next manager, here are 10 players strongly linked with the Red Devils ahead of the Dutchman's expected arrival.

Click through the gallery above to see 10 players Ten Hag could look to bring to United, according to the Daily Mail.

Several reports suggest that the 52-year-old has accepted an approach from the struggling 20-time English champions, with United now set to enter into discussions with Ajax Amsterdam, with whom the Dutchman still has a contract until 2023.

While in negotiations with United, Ten Hag is understood to have placed critical importance on having control over the club's transfer policy, leading to many believing he could already have ideas as to who he envisions bringing in.

The Daily Mail has claimed the tactician might be interested in taking talented Dutch defender Jurrien Timber with him to England, with the centre-back having played a key role for Ajax since he was promoted to the first team in 2020.

Timber, 20, has already made six appearances for the Netherlands' senior team, and is tipped for a bright future.

Holding midfielders Ruben Neves and Kalvin Phillips are among those linked with joining United for their latest project, although it is understood that their ideal candidate for that position is West Ham United vice-captain Declan Rice.

The aforementioned players could be seen as cheaper alternatives to Rice, with Hammers boss David Moyes recently insisting that the midfielder would not be sold unless a figure of £150 million (R2.8 billion) is put on the table.

In attack, Benfica's Darwin Nunez is said to be a player United are monitoring, with the striker's profile increasing following his performances against Liverpool in the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League over the past week. The Uruguayan scored twice in the two-legged tie.

United take on Norwich City this weekend in the Premier League, in what will be a tricky clash considering the Red Devils' dire form in recent weeks.
