Ten Hag eyes 'no risk' signing to help Man Utd issue as Chelsea pull out of race
Manchester United are yet to make a major summer signing but several players are on their radar.
Harry Kane, for weeks, has been touted as their top target but a move for the Tottenham striker is no longer likely due to the finances involved. Erik ten Hag though is keen to add a new No 9 to help aid United in the final third.
Chelsea's Mason Mount, who has reportedly agreed terms, is also on their shortlist but they and the Blues remain someway apart on price. David de Gea's possible exit could also force the club into finding a new No 1 over the coming months. Ten Hag's budget will be considerably less than his first summer, which could lead to some high profile departures.
