With this Wednesday marking the start of the summer transfer window, a lack of clarity regarding the potential takeover of Manchester United continues to overshadow plans.

United are in the market for a midfielder, with Erik ten Hag keen to add more technical quality in that area of the pitch. Last summer's failed pursuit of Frenkie de Jong hints at the calibre of player wanted by the Dutchman, with a similar type of player on this summer's shopping list.

"He loves Eriksen, he loves Sabitzer, he loves
