Former Liverpool midfielder Jamie Redknapp has named two players the Dutchman must try to lure to Old Trafford when the transfer window reopens in July.

According to the Englishman, West Ham United’s Declan Rice and Tottenham Hotspur’s Harry Kane are the two players who could set the tone for Ten Hag’s Manchester United.

Although he admits it won’t be easy to get either player, Redknapp has urged the Dutch tactician to give it a try.

The 48-year-old told Sky Sports (via Metro):

He added:

Signing both Kane and Rice in the summer seems unlikely for Manchester United. The Red Devils recently spent big to sign Jadon Sancho and Raphael Varane last summer, not forgetting the gargantuan wages Cristiano Ronaldo currently earns at Old Trafford.

Manchester United on the verge of missing out on Champions League football next season

As it stands, Manchester United occupy sixth position in the Premier League table with 54 points from 33 games. With just five games left, they’ll need a flawless run to ensure their participation in the Champions League next season.

Unfortunately, it won’t be an easy task as their last five league games of the season will see them clash with Arsenal, Chelsea, Brentford, Brighton, and Crystal Palace.

It remains to be seen how they’ll perform in these encounters.
