Manchester United could raid the free agent market during the summer transfer window this year.
Manchester United will be keen to provide Ruben Amorim with a squad capable of pushing up towards the European places in the Premier League. They are currently 13th in the league after heading into the international break with a 3-0 win against Leicester City.
Seeing as this season has been somewhat of a write-off for United, they could be turning their attention to the summer transfer window, and looking to see which cheap bargains they could find. Several world-class players are due to become free agents in the summer window, and United could sign any one of them.
Liverpool trio set to become free agents
One of the biggest stories surrounding contracts expiring is with league leaders Liverpool, as their trio of stars are all set to leave the club at the end of the season.
Trent Alexander-Arnold, Mo Salah and Virgil Van Dijk all have contracts expiring, and there has been no sign so far that they will sign extensions with the club.
This means that all three are set to become free agents in the summer, meaning United could decide to pursue one of them. However, due to the rivalry between United and Liverpool, it could be difficult to tempt one of them to make the move.
Which other players are due to become free agents?
Looking past the three Liverpool stars, United could sign several more top talents. One of the most in-demand soon-to-be free agent is Lille FC striker Jonathan David, who is set to leave the French club at the end of the season.
He has been linked to United alongside West Ham and Liverpool, and after scoring 23 goals in 41 games for Lille this season, he would provide a proven goalscorer for very little cost.
Bayern Munich winger Leroy Sane is also set to become a free agent. The former Man City star has already been linked to Premier League rivals Arsenal, and could make a return to England where he previously found success under Pep Guardiola. Sane has made 22 Bundesliga appearances for Bayern this season, scoring seven goals and four assists.
Furthermore, Bayer Leverkusen centre-back Jonathan Tah is due to become a free agent. He has been at the German club for 10 years. After making over 400 appearances for the club, it seems that he will be available for anyone to sign in the summer.
If United wanted to look at centre-midfield, then Frank Aguissa from Napoli is expected to become a free agent in summer too. He has made 27 Serie A appearances this season, scoring five goals and providing three assists.
Furthermore, PSV centre-back Oliver Boscagli is also available, he is valued at around £25m, and could be a solid starting defender or depth piece for Amorim. The Frenchman would be the ideal replacement for the departing Victor Lindelof.
Finally, Amorim is keen to improve his depth at the full-back position, so could look at adding Nottingham Forest right-back Ola Aina, who has thrived this season under Nuno Espirito Santo.
Aina has made 29 Premier League appearances this season, scoring two goals and providing one assist. He is a big reason why Forest are currently third in the Premier League table.
