They are ready to support Erik ten Hag and get more quality options for him to settle things at Old Trafford and compete for trophies this season.<\/p>\n<p>Right now, PSV forward Cody Gakpo and Ajax winger Antony are two priority targets for the Red Devils. However, Burt claims that the club don&#8217;t think they have the necessary budget to buy both of them and will only sign one of the two Eredivisie stars.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2022\/08\/20\/antony-skips-training-manchester-united-transfer\/\" target=\"_self\">Ajax Looking For \u00a384 Million Fee for Antony Transfer<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Red Devils recently <a href=\"https:\/\/theathletic.com\/3520465\/2022\/08\/18\/manchester-united-antony-ajax\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">had a \u00a368 million offer rejected<\/a> by the reigning Dutch champions for the Brazilian winger and are pondering whether to increase their offer. They are also hoping about being able to sign Gakpo for around \u00a334 million &#8211; even though PSV want around \u00a338.2 million to let him go.<\/p>\n<h3>Red Devils Set for Frantic End to Transfer Window<\/h3>\n<p>With the summer transfer window set to close on September 1, the Red Devils will probably have to scramble to complete multiple deals and bolster their squad. Among the four signings they want to make, one will definitely be to bring in a new winger to compete with the likes of Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2022\/08\/20\/frenkie-de-jong-manchester-united-unlikely-chelsea\/\" target=\"_self\">Chelsea Set to Get Free Run For Frenkie de Jong After Manchester Unite Bow Out<\/a><\/p>\n<p>United are also <a href=\"https:\/\/theathletic.com\/3492281\/2022\/08\/12\/manchester-united-increase-efforts-and-budget-to-buy-no-2-keeper-after-henderson-loan\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">reportedly looking to sign a new goalkeeper<\/a> who can compete with David de Gea for the number one position.
