Manchester United's potential signings in summer transfer window of 2023

Following a season of ups and downs, Erik ten Hag would look to take the Red Devils all the way to the top this season. However, new signings would be essential to make the elevation happen. So far, United have raked in Mason Mount from Chelsea, a move that will certainly better the offensive line-up of the team. Moreover, Harry Kane is still linked and Sofyan Amrabat, a young mid-fielder from Fiorentina is also linked. Additionally, the name of Rasmus Höjlund is also making waves as an almost-done recruitment. With all the fresh faces that United is working on, what do you think will the crowd at Old Trafford yet again sing "Glory Glory United".
