Man United boss Erik ten Hag has named his two transfer priorities for the upcoming summer transfer window, according to reports.

The Dutchman was keen to recruit a number of players in the most recent transfer window to bolster his squad, after a disappointing sixth place finish in last season's Premier League.

It took United time, but they eventually brought in five senior players, with Casemiro and Antony joining late in the window.

And although the senior squad is a stronger proposition when compared to last season, there are still gaps that the manager wants to fill in the next window.

A number of first-team stars, such as Diogo Dalot, have started every game for United this term in the absence of substantial competition, whilst there have been injury problems in other areas.

And Ten Hag has picked out the two positions he is desperate to add to next year.

Ten Hag picks out transfer priorities

According to the Manchester Evening News, United are 'not actively pursuing' any incoming transfers in the January transfer window.

That will no doubt disappoint some Red Devils fans, with Ten Hag likely now required to get through the rest of the campaign without additions to his squad.

However, the same source claims that the club are planning ahead for the summer window instead, with that likely to see a number of incomings.

Ten Hag's main priority is to recruit a goalscorer. Cristiano Ronaldo is out of contract this summer, whilst Anthony Martial has suffered from injury problems this term.

The Dutchman is also keen on recruiting a right-back, with Dalot currently the only fully fit senior option in that position, and doubts over the future of Aaron Wan-Bissaka.

The waters are muddied slightly in this area by the expiration of Dalot's contract next summer. However, United can trigger a 12-month extension, which would at least buy them some time to negotiate a new deal with the player, or source a replacement. Bayer Leverkusen's Jeremie Frimpong and Norwich's Max Aarons have both been linked to the Red Devils in recent weeks.

United fans will hope that, wherever Ten Hag's side finish in the Premier League this term, the summer transfer window can be successful to build momentum towards next season's push for honours.
