Manchester United are actively pursuing Barcelona's Raphinha with a potential bid of €60 million (£51.4m) as they seek to replace Jadon Sancho, who is a target for Paris Saint-Germain. Additionally, United are close to signing Bayern Munich's Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui in a deal worth up to £60 million. This move has been met with mixed reactions; while Andre Onana and Lisandro Martinez are excited, Paul Scholes has voiced concerns about De Ligt's recent form and suitability. Scholes criticized De Ligt's limited playtime at Bayern, especially since Eric Dier started ahead of him. Despite these concerns, Erik ten Hag's strategy continues to involve bringing in familiar faces from his time at Ajax.
