Manchester United are still beaten in 2024 and won their fourth consecutive Premier League against Luton Town, moving five points behind fourth-placed team Aston Villa.
The Red Devils are expected to have a busy summer with the minority acquisition by Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS. There were reports last week that the Premier League had given the green light for Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS’ minority acquisition of Manchester United.
Former Manchester United striker Dwight Yorke has named Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong and Tottenham captain Son Heung-min on his wish list for Manchester United to target in the summer.
What are Dwight Yorke’s two main targets for Manchester United in the summer?
He said on Gambling Zone:” ‘I think we need a number nine, somebody up there with a little bit more Premier League experience and a good player like Son for me would be brilliant.
“He’s not like Harry Kane but he’s still got energy and brings so many goals, so someone like him would attract me very much to go and get.
“These clubs are all competing and to get those kinds of players will be difficult, especially if United don’t get the Champions League next season.”
In the midfield, he urged his former club to sign Barcelona’s Mickifielder and Dutch international Frankie De Jong. Dutch has been tipped to leave Barcelona in the summer.
He added: “I think getting De Jong to mentor Mainoo would be a good combination. If he were to come, it’d be a nice youthful balance there.
“I’m not sure how old De Jong is but I think he’d give us that X-factor that we need in midfield and a little bit of creativity, which he’s capable of doing, as well as adding legs in midfield.
“He ticks all the boxes and I think the combination of him and Mainoo would be a fabulous one to look forward to next season.”
