Man Utd transfers: Lewis Hall, Iliman Ndiaye and Yan Diomande emerge as targets as summer plans revealed

Lewis Hall, Yan Diomande and Iliman Ndiaye are among the names Manchester United are considering as they look to strengthen ahead of a likely return to European competition next season.

An ideal summer window would include at least two midfielders signed, with Brighton's Carlos Baleba still a target after a move to Old Trafford failed to materialise last summer and Nottingham Forest's Elliot Anderson also high on United's list of targets.

Brighton have always been adamant they will demand a high fee for Baleba; however, a drop off in performances this season has likely impacted his value, which could work in United's favour.

Like United were able to achieve last summer window with Matheus Cunha, the club will try to secure deals early on. United are aware that the World Cup will impact any business this summer; therefore, with Cameroon not involved in the competition, the 22-year-old is an ideal target to secure as soon as possible.

Anderson is seen as an 'ideal' no.8 to slot into United's side but strong competition from Manchester City is expected.

As previously reported, Wolves' Joao Gomes is another potential target and could be a cheaper option to reinforce the squad with Wolves likely to be relegated. Crystal Palace's Adam Wharton is also a name under consideration.

While there's a common understanding that United will prioritise adding to their options in the middle of the park, with Casemiro departing this summer, those at Old Trafford are also keen to bolster options at left wing and at left back.

RB Leipzig forward Diomande is high on United's list of left-wing targets ahead of this summer's transfer window. He's understood to fit the profile of a right-footed left-winger and has huge potential at just 19-years-old.

Diomande has had an impressive season in the Bundesliga with 10 goals and seven assists for Leipzig who are on the charge for Champions League qualification.

A high demand in the Ivory Coast international could prompt United to act early in the summer, with Diomande understood to be high in demand from some of Europe's biggest clubs.

Meanwhile, Everton's Ndiaye is another player United are monitoring in this position. The 26-year-old scored in Everton's 3-0 win against Chelsea last weekend, continuing an impressive season under David Moyes.

At full back, the club hold an interest in Eintracht Frankfurt's Nathaniel Brown. The 22-year-old Germany international has four goals and four assists in the Bundesliga this campaign.

Newcastle United's Hall is also on their radar after an impressive season that has earned involvement in Thomas Tuchel's last England camp ahead of the World Cup.

United's current option at left-back, Luke Shaw, who has been a Premier League stalwart this season, has terms that will run until the summer of 2027. Tyrell Malacia is expected to leave the club once his contract expires in the summer.
