Man Utd identify top three targets for summer

Manchester United have identified their top three targets for the summer transfer window, according to The Telegraph.

The Red Devils have had a poor campaign by their standards and they are currently eight points behind the top four in the Premier League.

Regardless of how the season ends, there will be big investment from Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who recently became the co-owner of the club.

The Telegraph claim that a new striker is a top priority for the Red Devils.

The club are also expected to target a defensive midfielder amid suggestions that Casemiro could be offloaded at the end of the season.

A new right centre-back is another priority for the hierarchy. Raphael Varane and Jonny Evans have their contracts expiring in June.

Before the spending spree, United are likely to cash in on several players as they need to recoup funds to avoid breaching FFP limits in future.

United could have an up front budget of around £100 million which could be doubled with the departure of several fringe players.
