In midfield, there is also speculation that Benfica star Joao Neves could be a target for United. The Portugal international is reported to have a release clause of overlook £100 million, with Benfica seemingly unwilling to accept a fee any lower.

In the forward areas, several players have been linked with a move to United. The Bologna striker is one player who could make the switch to Old Trafford, with the Netherlands international having a £34 million release clause in his contract.

There have also been tentative rumours linking Napoli striker Victor Osimhen with a move to United. However, this may be the most unlikely of deals to happen, unless funds were generated through a sale of one of the club’s main stars such as Marcus Rashford.

Were United to allow Rashford to leave the club, then it’s plausible that a replacement may be found. Osimhen is regarded as one of the most talented strikers in Europe, and the opportunity to sign him may be a dream possibility for United.

When it comes to players already at the club, several are still viewed as vital members of United’s squad. Andre Onana, Diogo Dalot, Lisandro Martinez, Luke Shaw, Kobbie Mainoo, Bruno Fernandes, Alejandro Garnacho, Rasmus Hojlund and Amad Diallo could all feature in Ten Hag’s first-choice starting line-up next season.

If United were to sign all of the aforementioned players, it would certainly add welcome depth and additional quality to the squad at Old Trafford. However, it must be said that the line-up listed below is one of a ‘dream’ scenario and may not actually materialise.

United dream line-up for the 2024/25 season: Onana; Dalot, De Ligt, Martinez, Shaw; Neves, Mainoo, Fernandes; Garnacho, Osimhen, Amad
