If United are interested in Rennes forward Desire Doue , they may have to fight off competition from Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur.

If United do become interested, they may need to act quickly.

Meanwhile, Samuel Omorodion could be a game-changer for Ten Hag's team.

The forward was also part of the victorious Spanish squad at Euro 2024, although he only made a single appearance off the bench in Luis de la Fuente's side's 1-0 triumph over Albania.

The Olympics could provide the ideal launchpad for his career.

The 21-year-old has been with Barcelona since 2016, having transitioned from Real Betis' youth development system to Barcelona's renowned La Masia.

However, his future at the club remains uncertain due to Barcelona's pursuit of Nico Williams and their other links to Dani Olmo.

With Wan-Bissaka's future currently up in the air due to interest from clubs like West Ham United and Inter Milan, Hakimi could be the ideal replacement.
