Manchester United Signings Include Antony, Cody Gakpo, Frenkie De Jong, Memphis by Creatorchris(m): 10:04am On Aug 24, 2022
Manchester United earned their first Premier League victory under Erik ten Hag with a 2-1 triumph over Liverpool, but the club's summer transfer business appears to be far from complete.

Casemiro was introduced to fans at Old Trafford prior to the triumph, and the midfielder was a high-priced signing from Real Madrid.

Ten Hag has also signed Ajax's Lisandro Martinez and Feyenoord's Tyrell Malacia this summer, while Christian Eriksen came on a free transfer.

But, with the Dutch manager looking for further reinforcements and Cristiano Ronaldo's future seeming uncertain, who else may arrive in Manchester before the transfer window closes?

Antony

Ten Hag, who has previously recruited Martinez from Amsterdam, looks to be planning another attack on his old club Ajax. Antony, a young Brazilian winger, has been heavily connected with a transfer, with the youngster reportedly eager to join Manchester United.

According to The Independent's Miguel Delaney, the 22-year-old has signed personal terms, but Manchester United must step up their efforts to persuade Ajax to part ways with Antony.

De Jong, Frenkie

Manchester United's summer pursuit of Frenkie de Jong appears to be continuing, with no deal in place for the Barcelona midfielder. Miguel Delaney, who worked under Ten Hag at Ajax, reported last month that De Jong wants to leave but is waiting for Barcelona to pay deferred wages as the Catalan club continues to struggle financially.

As Karl Matchett writes, Barcelona may need to trade De Jong to make their weird summer of business work.

Gakpo, Cody

Cody Gakpo of PSV Eindhoven is another Eredivisie player who has piqued Manchester United's interest in a Dutch-infused summer of recruiting. Another winger with tremendous promise, the 23-year-old might be a target even if the Antony deal is finalised, with Ten Hag searching for options in his attacking line.

"There have been a lot of rumors for a long time," Van Nistelrooy stated of Gakpo-United ties. "It's evident that we'd like to keep Gakpo at PSV."

Depay, Memphis

Memphis Depay's initial tenure at Old Trafford did not go as planned, but could he be making a surprise return to Manchester? Another Barcelona exile, rumours in Spain have connected Manchester United with a bid for their former star, who may be available at a bargain.

Despite Depay agreeing to renounce his contract and join Juventus on a free transfer, discussions with the Turin club are alleged to have stagnated, potentially opening the door for Manchester United to bring him back.

Yann Sommer and Kevin Trapp

Manchester United are looking for a backup goalkeeper to David de Gea, with Dean Henderson presently on loan at Nottingham Forest. Ten Hag is claimed to be concerned about the Spaniard's lack of ball-playing skills, with Bundesliga duo Kevin Trapp and Yann Sommer fitting the description as prospective replacements.

Trapp of Eintracht Frankfurt and Sommer of Borussia Mönchengladbach, both 32, have plenty of top-level experience.

Who could possibly leave?

Cristiano Ronaldo has stated his intention to leave Manchester United only one season after returning to the club, but finding a fitting destination for the Portuguese striker has been difficult. Only Sporting, where Ronaldo began his career, has expressed serious interest, and the 37-year-old does not appear to want to return to the Primeira Liga at this point in his career.

Eric Bailly, who is going for a physical at Marseille ahead of a loan agreement with the French club, is one player who is getting closer to leaving. Bailly's exit might be the start of a major defensive exodus at the club, with Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Phil Jones, and Axel Tuanzebe also available, according to The Telegraph.

Wan-exit Bissaka's may force the signing of another full-back, with Barcelona's Sergino Dest being linked.
