Manchester United will try to sign a winger, a central midfielder and a playmaker this summer, according to reports in the local media.
The Red Devils are believed to have settled on the three positions as their main priority for the next transfer window, and fans on Twitter have been listing the players that they would like the club to sign:

Winger – Sancho
Playmaker – Grealish
Midfielder – Partey— Dylan Byrne (@dbyrner260999) April 9, 2020
Sancho, Grealish & Zakaria will do nicely

It does seem very likely that Jadon Sancho is United’s priority for the wing. However, there is more debate over who the other two signings would be.
There has been some speculation that manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has prioritised Jack Grealish ahead of Jame Maddison for the playmaker position, although his antics during the lockdown would not have done the Villa captain any favours.
In terms of the central midfield role, Atletico Madrid’s Thomas Partey, Leicester’s Wilfried Ndidi and Borussia Monchengladbach’s Denis Zakaria have all been mentioned. Whether the Manchester club will make moves for any of them, we shall have to wait and see.
