One of the players who has been constantly linked with Manchester United is Kieran Trippier. Eyebrows were raised when Atletico Madrid paid £19.8 million to sign Kieran Trippier from Tottenham Hotspur in 2019.

However, the signing proved to be a shrewd acquisition, with Trippier playing a key role in Atletico Madrid's league triumph this season. The England international is said to be interested in a return to England though, and Manchester United view him as perfect competition for Aaron Wan-Bissaka at right-back.

Wan-Bissaka is one of the best defenders in the Premier League, but his attacking game needs improvement. Trippier would offer better offensive qualities, with the 30-year old renowned for his crossing ability and set-piece delivery. Trippier is also capable of playing as a left-back.


#2 Raphael Varane (Real Madrid)

Raphael Varane has not been at his very best in recent seasons and there are rumors that he could leave Real Madrid this summer.

The 28-year old has a phenomenal trophy cabinet, but his performances have been inconsistent in the last few months. Since joining Real Madrid from Lens in 2011, Varane has made 360 appearances in all competitions for Los Blancos, and there have been suggestions that he could do with a change in scenery.

Manchester United have been linked with Varane for some time now, but this summer they could take a concrete step towards signing the France international. However, the Red Devils are not the only club tracking the World Cup winner, with Chelsea extremely interested as well.


#1 Jadon Sancho (Borussia Dortmund)

Last summer's saga is not over yet, with Manchester United still keen on signing Borussia Dortmund's Jadon Sancho.

Sancho was Manchester United's top target last summer, but a move failed to materialize. This time around though, they could get their man as there have been reports that Manchester United are in talks with Borussia Dortmund over a transfer fee for the talented forward.

Sancho enjoys a good relationship with Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford and is interested in joining the club. The 21-year old made 24 Bundesliga appearances, scoring eight goals and providing 11 assists. The England international is regarded as one of the best young players in the world.
