The midfielder Tijjani Reijnders, who plays for AC Milan, is rumoured to be Erik ten Hag’s “top target” in advance of the summer transfer season.Because Sir Jim Ratcliffe, the new co-owner of Manchester United, is already making an influence, the club is going through a lot of internal changes presently.A candidate named Dan Ashworth is being considered for the position of director of football at Manchester United, and Omar Berrada was lured to quit Manchester City in order to take over as the next chief executive officer of the squad.Reijnders has been chosen by Manchester United as a “priority” signing, and according to Football Transfers, the club is expected to make a significant number of acquisitions throughout the summer.
The international player from the Netherlands, who is 25 years old, left AZ Alkmaar to sign with AC Milan, a Serie A powerhouse, in a summer deal that was worth more than sixteen million pounds.Throughout the course of this season, Reijnders has been utilised largely as a defensive midfielder; however, he has also been utilised on occasion as an offensive midfielder. Within the 33 matches that he has played for AC Milan this season across all competitions, he has contributed two goals and three assists.Due to the fact that players such as Christian Eriksen, Sofyan Amrabat, and Casemiro are either nearing the end of their careers or have uncertain futures, Reijnders is considered to be essential to Ten Hag. On the other hand, promising youngster Kobbie Mainoo, who is only 18 years old, requires some time to establish himself in the first squad.
It is expected that Reijnders’ contract will end in 2028, and in light of his outstanding performance during the current season at Milan, it has been reported that the administration of AC Milan will not consider any bids for the player that are less than €60 million.
In the year 2024, the Red Devils have not suffered a single loss and have won four consecutive Premier League matches. Only four points separate them from Aston Villa, who are currently in fourth place in the standings.
