Ratcliffe has taken control of the football operations at Manchester United, including the club’s transfer business.

The Evening Standard has claimed that four positions have been identified to be strengthened.

This includes a new top striker with a similar level to Bayern Munich star Harry Kane.

The other positions are a new centre-back, right-back and a midfielder.

The report claims that the new striker would be expected to play alongside Rasmus Hojlund.

Crystal Palace’s Michael Olise is also said to be a target following his impressive performances at Selhurst Park.

The Frenchman, 22, was a target for Chelsea last summer, but he stayed in South London and signed a new four-year contract.

The report adds that the right-winger is a “key target” for Manchester United.

There are two names being touted for the centre-back role with Nice‘s Jean Clair Todibo and Everton‘s Jarrad Branthwaite being named.

Todibo has plenty of interest from the likes of Chelsea and Tottenham.

Branthwaite, 21, has emerged as one of the standout defensive talents in the Premier League with the Toffees this season.

The report adds that the club’s targets could prove difficult to this this month and Erik ten Hag may have to wait until the summer for his reinforcements.

The right-back target for Man United is expected to be Bayer Leverkusen star Jeremie Frimpong.

The Dutchman has starred for the Bundesliga side and is expected to cost £34million due to his release clause.
