Manchester United anticipates a hectic summer at Old Trafford, with significant changes to the first team roster planned.

INEOS is likely already focusing on their top targets and will be aiming for a successful first transfer window.

Erik ten Hag hopes to add some more quality to his injured back line, which is why defensive additions are said to be the focus.

The Dutchman has been forced to chop and change a lot, which has hurt United a lot. The goal for next season is to establish a reliable defense-minded pairing.

Jean-Clair Todibo of Nice and Jarrad Branthwaite of Everton are both highly sought-after targets, and it seems INEOS has selected its favourite.

The OGC Nice centre defender is United’s first pick, according to Teamtalk, and they believe a deal may be reached in the upcoming months.

It is possible that Todibo will go for about £40 million, which is significantly less expensive than Branthwaite’s offer, given that Everton is willing to pay twice as much for him.

Additionally, it’s said that Todibo’s other suitors are “backing away” from the player, opening the door for United to intervene.

Barcelona and Tottenham Hotspur were among the teams expressing interest in signing the center-half, but because both have since shifted their focus, United is in a “very strong position” to sign him.

The 24-year-old has become one of Europe’s most sought-after defenders after enjoying a stellar run of play in Ligue 1.

This season, Todibo has been nearly constant for Nice, whilst United has glaringly lacked that type of consistency.

Ten Hag will be hoping that Lisandro Martinez stays injury-free for the upcoming season, since Todibo is anticipated to be the Argentine’s long-term companion.

With INEOS now on board, United will be expecting for a lot easier summer ride, since the team has lagged behind in the Premier League due to terrible transfer windows over the past ten years.
