Manchester United could line up differently next season under the tutelage of Erik ten Hag.

The United boss is expected to push for new summer signings that will help in reinforcing his current squad.

While the Red Devils have been bizarrely inactive since the window opened, they have been linked with a number of players who they are yet to seal deals for.

According to The Mirror, Ten Hag is hoping to use his Dutch connections by eyeing two players in the shape of Frenkie de Jong and Tyrell Malacia.

De Jong has been United's top target this summer, with the club hoping to reunite the Barcelona midfielder with Ten Hag at Old Trafford.

Reports suggest the Red Devils are in a pole position to land both De Jong and Malacia, with Sky Sports claiming a deal has already been agreed for the latter to move to the Theatre of Dreams.

How Man United could line up next season

Should De Jong and Malacia move to United next season, there is every chance they will walk straight into the starting XI.

Ten Hag is expected to stick with David de Gea as his first-choice goalkeeper, with Harry Maguire and Raphael Varane taking charge in the heart of defense.

Diogo Dalot is expected to keep his place on the right, with Malacia pushing Alex Telles and Luke Shaw to the bench.
