Manchester United have a big summer transfer window ahead of them, with new players and a new manager expected to come into Old Trafford, and some huge decisions that need to be made.
A new-look midfield is expected to be signed by INEOS, with Elliot Anderson considered to be the top transfer target, but there will also be a number of other arrivals, including a left-back and a left-winger if reports are believed to be true.
Reports also suggest that Michael Carrick is the frontrunner to be the next permanent manager for next season, but there have been some clashes in the boardroom over that decision, with Paris Saint-Germain boss Luis Enrique understood to be the top target for Jason Wilcox and Omar Berrada.
The Spaniard is currently expected to sign a new contract with the French champions rather than move to Old Trafford as things stand, but INEOS may potentially get one deal over the line that could convince him to change his mind.
Yan Diomande Deal Could Convince Enrique

A new left-winger is understood to be one of the priorities this summer, and a move for RB Leipzig star Yan Diomande is believed to be right at the top of the wishlist for INEOS.
The electric winger, who has incredible skill, pace, dribbling, and has lit up the Bundesliga during his first campaign with RB Leipzig, has emerged as one of the top forward talents in Europe, which has sparked interest from some of the continent's biggest clubs.
United are understood to have held talks over a move for the Ivorian, with RB Leipzig slapping an £87m asking price on his head to try and scare off interested parties. But if the Red Devils want to convince Enrique to make the move to the Premier League, then sealing this deal is essential.
An exciting forward who is capable of winning games on his own is a player who belongs at Old Trafford anyway, but Enrique's system and style rely upon it too.
At Barcelona, he had Neymar, Lionel Messi, and Luis Suarez as his forward options, while at PSG he currently has Desire Doue, Bradley Barcola, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, and Ousmane Dembele to choose from. That level of quality is currently absent at Man Utd, but Diomande would be a big help.

The club are desperate to add to their attacking options this summer, and while £87m is obviously a huge chunk of the budget, he is the type of match-winner who makes the fee worthwhile.
If United can show their intent by getting a deal like this done ahead of their rivals, it would show Enrique how serious they are about building a squad to compete, and give him a piece of the jigsaw he'd need immediately.
