With Harry Kane and Mason Mount as his primary objectives, Erik ten Hag is eager to make significant additions to his team this summer in order to close the gap on Manchester City and Arsenal for the upcoming season.
However, according to reports, the Dutchman will only have £100 million to spend during the transfer season. This is because the club’s current ownership dispute is expected to make plans to bolster the team even more difficult.
The former defender Ferdinand thinks midfielder McTominay will need to have “hard conversations” with the team about his future. In order to bring in the manager’s targets, United may have to earn money through player sales.
Newcastle United is interested in the Scotland international, and club captain Harry Maguire, who has only started eight league games this year, is expected to weigh his options as well.
Elanga, who made his first team debut under Ralf Rangnick last season, is another player who is having trouble getting opportunities, and Ferdinand thinks Martial may also be let go in the near future.
Scott McTominay hasn’t played as much football as he would want, according to Ferdinand, who spoke to Vibe with Five.
If I were him as a young player, I would most likely begin evaluating the situation and begin having frank discussions with the club, asking whether they saw me as a part of it or not.
He won’t have any trouble finding a club because he is a very excellent footballer and can contribute a lot of value, and if I were that down on the food chain, I’d start looking.
Harry Maguire needs to consider his own fresh options. Unless he expresses happiness at being the third or fourth option. Perhaps Elanga is another, but he isn’t getting a chance.
“Martial has shown he can’t stay in shape.” I believe there is £100 million there that might be released if you got rid of those four. Elanga isn’t receiving as much football as he should.
He performed well when he first arrived, but he is still not given a chance. He has big guys in front of him, but he wants to play football for the first squad.
Dean Henderson is an additional United player the team might want to offload this summer for a respectable money. Nottingham Forest is rumoured to be interested in making Henderson’s loan move permanent in a £30 million deal.
