Manchester United are set to ignite their summer rebuild after Frenkie de Jong took a step closer to signing.

A move seven weeks in the making, the Barcelona playmaker and Tyrell Malacia are expected to become the first two recruits for Erik ten Hag after an agreement in principle over their transfers was reached. But what will be next on the agenda for Ten Hag and key figures in the Old Trafford boardroom?

Free-agent Christian Eriksen and Antony remain targets for the United manager.

Meanwhile, the club have also been linked with Ajax defender Lisandro Martinez with Arsenal set to compete for his signature. Dean Henderson leaving for Nottingham Forest on loan also opens up the door for Ten Hag to sign a back-up goalkeeper and Sergio Romero is understood to be open to a return.
