Manchester United’s position on Mike Phelan future explained as Erik ten Hag era awaits

A new back-up goalkeeper is likely to be targeted if, as expected, Dean Henderson leaves the club in this summer’s transfer window.

United want a centre-back at a time where Phil Jones, Eric Bailly, Axel Tuanzebe and Harry Maguire face uncertain futures.

In midfield, the Red Devils are primed to lose the likes of Paul Pogba, Nemanja Matic, Juan Mata and Jesse Lingard.

So that’s an area that will need investment amid transfer links to Declan Rice, Ruben Neves, Frenkie de Jong and Kalvin Phillips.

And, up top, the Red Devils know they need a young forward to ease the goalscoring burden on Cristiano Ronaldo.
