Live from Old Trafford – Manchester United ‘Confident’ in £100m Double Transfer** Manchester United is actively pursuing new signings this summer. The club is preparing for the upcoming season, where they will compete in both the Premier League and the Europa League. Their FA Cup victory over Manchester City secured European qualification, despite finishing eighth in the league.
Throughout the season, Erik ten Hag’s role as manager has been a topic of ongoing speculation. Nevertheless, Manchester United appears to be proceeding with their transfer strategies, as indicated by recent reports.
### Transfer Strategies and Targets
According to Strike90mins.com, the Ineos Group, which oversees Manchester United’s transfers, has made almost all players available for potential transfers, with the exception of four: Kobbie Mainoo, Andre Onana, Rasmus Hojlund, and Alejandro Garnacho. These four are deemed indispensable this summer.
### Potential New Acquisitions
Despite listing many players for transfer, United is actively seeking new talent. They are reportedly optimistic about securing deals for Crystal Palace’s Michael Olise and Everton’s Jarrad Branthwaite. The acquisition of Olise would require £60 million, and Branthwaite is valued at £40 million, totaling £100 million for both players.
### Interest in Xavi Simons
There are also new rumors connecting United to Paris Saint-Germain’s Xavi Simons, currently on loan at RB Leipzig. Simons has had an impressive loan spell with 10 goals and 15 assists in all competitions. Though he is expected to return to PSG this summer, there are rumors he might be loaned out again.
Strike90mins.com notes that United is among several clubs interested in a loan move for Simons next season. Other interested clubs include Bayern Munich, Chelsea, Newcastle, and RB Leipzig, who are keen to re-sign the 21-year-old. However, PSG might prefer to keep Simons rather than loan him out again. Simons himself is reportedly eager for a chance to return to Barcelona, where he spent part of his youth at the La Masia academy.
### Overview
Manchester United is managing a period of managerial uncertainty while actively engaging in the transfer market. The club aims to secure significant signings like Michael Olise and Jarrad Branthwaite and is exploring the possibility of a loan move for Xavi Simons, amidst competition from several top European clubs.
