Incoming Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has a considerable job to do as he aims to complete a Red Devils overhaul this summer.
The Dutchman has been installed as the club’s new boss following the underwhelming tenure of German coach Ralf Rangnick. Whilst the former Ajax boss has not yet had his squad in training - a number of players have already jetted off on post-season breaks - his to-do list is already lengthy.
The likes of Paul Pogba, Nemanja Matic and Juan Mata have already confirmed their decisions to wave goodbye to Old Trafford this summer - leaving the Red Devils needing to find replacements. Meanwhile, there are also a number of other holes to be filled ahead of the new campaign, with players around the world continuing to be linked with a switch to Manchester as a result.
With all of that being said, Mirror Sport takes a look at the latest rumours coming out of Old Trafford at the current time.
Nunez ‘intrigued’ by Man Utd move
One of the names that continues to be linked with a switch to United this summer is Benfica hotshot Darwin Nunez. The Uruguayan has been backed as a replacement for compatriot Edinson Cavani, who will leave at the expiry of his contract this summer
However, there is set to be an intense race for Nunez's services heading into the window with it being reported that fierce rivals Liverpool are also interested in a move as Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane face uncertain futures.

It appears that the striker could be leaning towards a switch to Old Trafford though. According to The i, Nunez is privately ‘intrigued’ at the prospect of joining Ten Hag and United - something that the Red Devils will surely be aiming to take advantage of as they attempt to agree a deal for his services.
That being said, a different report in the Daily Telegraph claims the player is 'determined' to join a club where he can play Champions League football, so the news may not be all good for United.
De Jong bid disputed
Another prominent player that has been rumoured to be on Ten Hag’s shortlist this summer is Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong. It has been suggested that the Red Devils have agreed a deal to sign the Dutchman as their first summer signing.
However, that does not now appear to be the case. As per Spanish outlet Sport, the Catalan giants are yet to receive a formal offer from Old Trafford chiefs for the former Ajax star.
It is further suggested that Barcelona are still open to letting De Jong go this summer with a fee in the region of €80million (£68.3m) enough for a deal to be completed.
United eye Inter star Denzel Dumfries
Whilst United harbour ambitions of securing a deal for De Jong this summer, it appears that they also have their eyes on one of his international teammates - Inter Milan’s Denzel Dumfries.
Ten Hag has already made the decision to refresh the right-back position at Old Trafford ahead of next season, with £50million signing Aaron Wan-Bissaka set to leave the club. His replacement has also already seemingly been found.
It is suggested in the print edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport, via Sempre Inter, that the Red Devils are interested in Dumfries and lead a host of clubs attempting to sign him. A price tag of €30million (£25.4m) has reportedly been put on him ahead of the window.
