4 Players Manchester United should look to sign in the transfer window

#2 Gabriel Magalhaes

Gabriel Magalhaes

Gabriel Magalhaes has attracted the interest of quite a few clubs this summer, and the young centre-back will be leaving Lille this transfer window. The likes of Napoli, Arsenal, Everton and Manchester United have been linked with the 22-year-old and reportedly, he will choose the club he wants to join by the end of this week.

The Brazilian played 34 games this season for Lille and was arguably one of their standout players. While Manchester United have improved defensively, there is certainly room for further improvement, and Gabriel could be the ideal choice for United.

The centre-back duo of Harry Maguire and Victor Lindelof has been found wanting for lack of pace, and Manchester United could target a quick centre-back, who would work well with Maguire.

Gabriel has all the tools that a modern-day centre-back needs. He is quick, good in the air and is good at tackling as well. He also suits Manchester United's style of play as he is a ball-playing centre-back, and being left-footed he would compliment Maguire.

While the likes of Eric Bailly and Axel Tuanzebe are pretty good, they have proven to be highly injury-prone and hence, Solskjaer could go after a centre-back like Gabriel.

#1 Jadon Sancho

Jadon Sancho is Manchester United's top target.

No surprises here! Jadon Sancho is United's priority signing this summer and the club are willing to do pretty much anything to bring the Englishman back to Manchester.

Manchester United haven't had a genuine right winger for a very long time, and bringing in someone like Sancho would be a long-term solution for that problem.

The Borussia Dortmund star scored 20 and created a further 20 goals in 44 appearances across all competitions this season.

He has proven himself as one of the best players in the Bundesliga and it is clear why Manchester United want to buy him. He is quick, has an eye for a goal, creates plenty of chances, is a good dribbler and would be the perfect fit for Solskjaer's system.

While Dortmund's sporting director and many players have come out and said that Sancho will stay, it is expected that Manchester United will not stop in their pursuit for him.

A front-line consisting of the likes of Rashford, Martial, Greenwood and Sancho with Bruno Fernandes and Pogba behind them could cause serious problems for the opposition on a regular basis.
