Erik ten Hag is 'prioritising signing a central midfielder during the summer'

Erik ten Hag will prioritise signing a central midfielder during the summer transfer window as he looks to replace outgoing Paul Pogba and Nemanja Matic.

The United boss will also make Darwin Nunez one of his primary targets as the 22-year-old is widely expected to leave Benfica when the transfer window opens.

Both United and Liverpool will battle it out for the striker - who has had a £68million price tag added to his name after an impressive season in the Primeira Liga.
