Manchester United continue to chase young players under Ineos but could see one target join Erik ten Hag instead.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Manchester United<\/a> are about to embark on one of the most important transfer windows in recent memory.<\/p>\n

United beat Aston Villa 2-0<\/a> on Sunday but still finished 15th in the Premier League table.<\/p>\n

Ruben Amorim<\/a> must find new signings to bounce back next season and United are closing in on signing Matheus Cunha<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Wolverhampton Wanderers star will represent a major boost to United\u2019s attacking options having excelled this past season.<\/p>\n

Ineos<\/a> also love signing young players, though, and we could see a focus placed on finding top prospects.<\/p>\n

United have eyed three Paris Saint-Germain talents<\/a> with Axel Tape, Mahamadou Sangare and Oumar Camara on the radar.<\/p>\n

Albacete talent Christian Kofane is also wanted by United<\/a> having shown huge potential in Spain.<\/p>\n

The 18-year-old striker \u2013 branded \u2018the new Samuel Eto\u2019o\u2019 \u2013 hit eight goals in 19 games in Spain\u2019s second tier this past season.<\/p>\n

United seemingly fancy signing the Cameroonian forward, but look set to miss out on his signature this summer.<\/p>\n

Sky Germany\u2019s Florian Plettenberg now claims that Bayer Leverkusen are now working on a deal to secure Kofane.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s stated that Kofane can leave for just \u20ac5million (\u00a34.2million) thanks to a release clause in his Albacete contract.<\/p>\n

Bayer Leverkusen have just appointed Erik ten Hag<\/a> as their new manager and could immediately add Kofane to the Dutchman\u2019s first-team set-up.<\/p>\n

Missing out on Kofane would be a blow for United, and Ten Hag could be charged with the task of developing the teenage striker.<\/p>\n

Bayer Leverkusen could sign another United target<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ten Hag will be looking to bounce back from his United exit and prove his managerial credentials once again.<\/p>\n

Kofane would be a long-term project for Leverkusen, but Ten Hag could also sign a more proven United target.<\/p>\n

Leverkusen want Espanyol goalkeeper Joan Garcia<\/a>, who has been on United\u2019s radar as a potential replacement for Andre Onana.<\/p>\n

Both Garcia and Kofane have emerged as real talents in Spanish football, which looks to still be a priority market for Leverkusen even after Xabi Alonso\u2019s exit.<\/p>\n

Garcia has proven himself as one of Spain\u2019s top stoppers, and United could see him follow Kofane to Germany unless a move is made quickly.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
