Ashworth finally moved from Newcastle United to the Red Devils and is set to oversee a busy summer
New Manchester United sporting director Dan Ashworth has reportedly identified four key summer transfer targets.
And reports in the Daily Mail suggest that Ashworth has set his sights on four specific players. One of those targets appears to be Bayern Munich defender Matthijs De Ligt, who is seemingly keen on for a switch to Old Trafford. United hope to secure this deal for around £42 million, as the German titans strive to collect funds for their pursuit of Jonathan Tah.
"He is someone who loves his job and he loves to work," stated De Ligt. "He wants to do everything to make his team play better. He's really into the details. This makes him a really good trainer who improves players. He has a lot of qualities to succeed and we will have to see how he goes." The Red Devils are on the hunt for fresh talent, eyeing not just a centre-back but also a new defensive midfielder and striker. They've been linked with moves for Bologna's Joshua Zirkzee, who could be available due to a £34m release clause, and Paris Saint-Germain's Manuel Ugarte.
