Erik ten Hag targets two possible loan replacements should Aaron Wan-Bissaka leave Manchester United

Despite it being originally reported that Manchester United's transfer business for the summer would be done after Martin Dubravka signs, this may no longer be the case.

It was reported on Tuesday morning that any more incomings at Manchester United were unlikely after Dubravka was confirmed.

However, that seems to have changed, with Manchester United interested in signing a right-back should Aaron Wan-Bissaka leave the club.

The English defender has been on the transfer market for a while, with United said to be open to offers.

With Ethan Laird leaving on loan to QPR earlier on in the summer and should Wan-Bissaka head out the door, that would leave Erik ten Hag with just one first-team right-back – Diogo Dalot.

Dalot has started every fixture under the Dutchman so far, and provided a great assist to Bruno Fernandes last time out in a victory over Southampton, however as a manager who likes depth and competition, Erik ten Hag wants a new right-back to compete if the Englishman leaves.

According to Jason Burt of the Telegraph, this want for a new right-back has fallen on Sergino Dest and Thomas Meunier.

United have reportedly been told that both players are available on loan should the club decide to delve into a deal.

With Dest, Paul Hirst of the Times has reported that Barcelona would be looking at a deal that consists of a loan plus an obligation to buy.

Dest, who is yet to make an appearance for Barcelona this season, was originally against a move to United, however is reportedly now warming to the move.

Meunier, who currently plies his trade at Borussia Dortmund, has made four appearances for the Black and Yellow.

The Beligan is apparently Erik ten Hag’s ideal choice for recruitment.

Manchester United confirmed on Tuesday that they have come to an agreement with Ajax for the signing of Antony, with the Dutch club confirming themselves that the deal is for €95 million with a further €5 million in add-ons.

Martin Dubravka has reportedly finished his medical ahead of his pending loan move to the club, and will sign his contract on Wednesday morning.

Dubravka’s fee is an initial £5 million loan with an option to buy which converts into an obligation to buy depending on the number of appearances.

Manchester United are due to take on Leicester City on Thursday evening, and although neither of these signings will be able to make their debut against the midlands club, it is expected that both will be available when Erik ten Hag's men face Arsenal on Sunday.
