'Man Utd have confidence and momentum' | Erik ten Hag's side defeated West Ham in the Premier League | Football Digest
Manchester United will reportedly look to take advantage of contract situations again in the summer transfer window as Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS prepare to oversee a significant overhaul. The Red Devils are said to have money to spend on upgrades for Erik ten Hag's squad, but finances remain "tight" due to Financial Fair Play restrictions.
United took advantage of Mason Mount entering the final year of his Chelsea contract last summer to complete a £60million deal for the Blues' prized asset.
And with many incomings and outgoings expected in a ruthless upheaval at the end of the season, INEOS are keen to recruit smartly.
Express Sport looks at five potential signings that align with United's new sporting leaders' plans, given their contracts are due to run out in 2025.
Denzel Dumfries
Denzel Dumfries has been consistently linked with United since Ten Hag took charge in the summer of 2022.
The Red Devils are expected to cash in on Aaron Wan-Bissaka in the summer and keep Diogo Dalot, with the Portuguese cementing himself as the first-choice right-back this term.
So agreeing a cut-price deal with Inter Milan for Dumfries, 27, to provide Dalot with competition would be a wise move.

Leny Yoro
United will also need a long-term replacement for Raphael Varane, with the experienced Frenchman's contract set to expire in June.
Leny Yoro has emerged as one of Europe's most exciting young centre-backs after making his Lille debut aged just 16 in 2022.
And the M16 giants have been credited with an interest in the 18-year-old to form a new-look partnership with Lisandro Martinez.
Joshua Kimmich
Joshua Kimmich has emerged as an exciting option for the upcoming transfer window, with Barcelona and Manchester City linked with the Bayern Munich man.
Now 28, Kimmich could look for a new challenge at the end of the campaign, and like Varane, United need a worthy successor to Casemiro amid interest from Saudi Arabia.
United likely won't represent as enticing an option as the other two if they miss out on Champions League football this season, but they would surely have to throw their hat into the ring.
Similar to Jean-Clair Todibo, Khephren Thuram has been linked with an Old Trafford switch since it was official that OGC Nice owners INEOS are about to enter power.
Kobbie Mainoo's emergence may hold off the need for more than one midfield signing later this year.
But Thuram is an energetic, box-to-box powerhouse who poses as an attractive potential replacement for the ageing Christian Eriksen.
Ivan Toney
United are reportedly heading into the summer with a new striker at the top of their priority list despite Rasmus Hojlund's recent flurry, with Anthony Martial exiting on a free transfer.
Ivan Toney is widely expected to take a step up from Brentford at the end of the campaign, with Arsenal and Chelsea linked.
And the 27-year-old England international is a Premier League-proven goalscorer who could make an immediate impact.
