Manchester United

have officially announced their first signing of the summer, while also wrapping up two more deals.

Andrey Santos

is the first through the door, with Karl Darlow and Youri Tielemans set to follow.

It was always expected to be a busy summer for the Red Devils, with head coach Michael Carrick insisting on a

midfield revamp

and also calling for reinforcements out wide and up front.

However, INEOS will be well aware of the need to balance the books with player sales, with Rasmus Hojlund the only

major departure so far

Casemiro and Jadon Sancho leaving means the 20-time English league champions are saving a lot on wages, but they need more.

Marcus Rashford is

expected to leave

, despite Carrick’s offer of reintegration.

Noussair Mazraoui

could follow the Mancunian out of the door.

The

Moroccan

was impressive at the World Cup, and the Old Trafford faithful hold the 28-year-old in high esteem due to his versatility.

The former Bayern Munich ace can play both as a right-back and left-back, and has also been deployed as a midfielder at times.

However, INEOS could decide to cash in on the

Morocco international

this summer, with AC Milan chasing his signature.

Former United boss

Ruben Amorim remains keen on a reunion

, with

Africa Foot

reporting that discussions between both clubs will intensify in the coming days.

“According to exclusive information obtained by Africafoot, AC Milan has made Moroccan international

one of its priorities to strengthen the right-back position during this summer transfer window.

“Discussions are expected to intensify in the coming days to assess the feasibility of a transfer. The Rossoneri believe the Moroccan’s experience at the highest European level, in both the Champions League and the Premier League, would be a major asset to the team.

“For its part,

has yet to decide on the future of the Atlas Lion. The coming days should be decisive in determining the Red Devils’ intentions, while AC Milan hopes to quickly advance negotiations in order to finalise a deal considered a priority before the start of the new season.”

Before green-lighting a sale, United need to take stock of the players at their disposal. Currently, Carrick only has Diogo Dalot as a specialist right-back, not to mention the lack of a backup for Luke Shaw.

Both these hats can be donned by

. Should he still leave, it might indicate United’s plans to bring in

Julian Ryerson

from Borussia Dortmund. United should not agree to a cut-price sale considering the immense value the African star brings to the table.

The Erik ten Hag signing has a market value of

£15 million

, and the Rossoneri will need to at least match that amount if they are to prise him away from the Theatre of Dreams.
