Man Utd ‘to pursue triple transfer swoop next summer’
Manchester United are reportedly targeting three transfers for next summer… regardless of who their manager will be at the time.
Spanish website Fichajes claims Old Trafford chiefs have identified Juventus forward Federico Chiesa, Inter Milan midfielder Nicolo Barella and Atletico Madrid defender Kieran Trippier as three players who can take United back to the top.
Current boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is expected to remain in charge for this weekend’s crunch clash against Tottenham.
But SunSport understands four managers have been contacted by United’s board, including Antonio Conte and Brendan Rodgers.
Yet Fichajes claims no matter who is in the hot seat next year, United already have their summer wishlist drawn up.

Chiesa, 23, has established himself as one of Europe’s finest attacking wingers.
And his displays in Italy’s victorious Euro 2020 campaign earned Chiesa even more fans across the continent.
Meanwhile, Barella, 24, played a key role in Inter Milan’s Serie A title win last season.
He knows Conte well from their time together at the San Siro, and Barella would become United’s new engine in midfield should he make the move to England.
Finally, Trippier, 31, was a major target for United in the last transfer window.
