A number of possible new additions to Manchester United are being connected before the summer transfer market opens.

Earlier this year, Sir Jim Ratcliffe and the Ineos Group completed their acquisition of a quarter of United. Ratcliffe and company have so assumed command of all football-related activities at Old Trafford, including player acquisition and transfers.

The team led by Erik ten Hag is currently getting ready to play Coventry City in the FA Cup semi-final, where a significant trophy is still up for grabs. With six top-flight games left this season, United faces an uphill battle to finish in the top four of the Premier League.

The season isn’t even halfway over, and United is already being connected to possible additions. A potential new midfield acquisition is the subject of one of the most recent rumors, while a present member of the United team is the subject of another.

According to reports, United is one of the teams interested in signing Dani Olmo, a midfielder for RB Leipzig. The summer transfer window is attracting “serious interest” from United, according to Mundo Deportivo, for the Spain international.

It has been reported that Olmo is being courted by Bayern Munich and Barcelona in addition to the Reds. According to the source, in order to move a deal through, United and any other club hoping to sign Olmo this summer would need to pay at least €60 million (£51 million).
