3 transfer targets for Manchester United this summer

#1. Ivan Rakitic

Runner Up- 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia

Solskjaer, who is set to land the permanent job at Old Trafford, seems to be targeting the Barcelona play-maker Ivan Rakitic.

The addition of Rakitic would further free up Pogba, who has been a revelation under Solskjaer. Rakitic is also an attack-oriented player, who could be a perfect fit under the Norwegian. The World Cup finalist said, "I have three more years on my contract [until 2021]. I want to stay here. I’m flattered that big clubs ask about me, if they do, but I only see myself at Barcelona". However, United hope to lure Rakitic with a money-spinning transfer.

Rakitic has won all major trophies with Barcelona. He also won the Champions League title in 2014-15. The Croatian possesses a winning mindset and is a big match player. This is one of the major factors why United would be going all guns blazing to bring the Barcelona midfielder to Old Trafford.

Since the arrival of Solskjaer, Manchester United are on a roll with 2 draws and 1 defeat (to PSG) in the 15 games they have played across competitions. The transfer window closes in August, and if United manage to land their targets right, they could be back in the title race next year.
