Manchester United are considering signing Dani Olmo this summer
Manchester United The club are reportedly planning to sign RB Leipzig ace Dani Olmo this summer, according to Spanish outlet Sports world.
After enduring a terrible campaign last season, the Red Devils are apparently looking to spend big on this one transfer window by hand Erik the Hag sufficient resources to achieve success next season.
Manchester United have already signed Joshua Zirkzee and Leny Yoro, but Ten Hag is reported to be looking to bring in more reinforcements before the end of the summer window.
The full-back position is an area the Dutchman is keen to strengthen, however, with signing a new midfielder and another centre-back said to be among his priorities.
But, it seems that Man Utd are also considering signing a new attacking midfielder and according to the report from Sports worldOlmo is on their list of candidates.

The report also claims that Leipzig do not want to sell their star for less than £50m. Premier league The champions will have to shell out a huge sum to lure him to Old Trafford.
The Spanish media claims that Barcelona Manchester United are also interested in signing him and have already stepped up their efforts to close the deal, but have been unable to match the German side's asking price. So United have the chance to beat Blaugrana in this race.
The Spaniard is a versatile player as he can play in any attacking midfield position and can also provide cover in the false nine role if needed.
Having proven his qualities in the Bundesliga in recent years, he also demonstrated his abilities on the international stage, helping Spain to win the European Championship, where he was awarded the prize for the competition's top scorer.
It would therefore be a huge coup for Manchester United if they sign him. However, Ten Hag's side are already well stocked at the number ten spot, with Bruno Fernandes and Mason Mount at their disposal.
They therefore don't need to spend a lot to sign Olmo as well, so Manchester United would be better off exploring options to strengthen other areas of the squad this summer.
