MANCHESTER UNITED are set for a busy summer of transfer action – with some surprising names talked up for a move to Old Trafford.
Sergio Aguero is the latest big name discussed in what would be a shock switch across the city, so how would he fit into the side?
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has a steady foundation to build his team around for next season, with the likes of Bruno Fernandes, Marcus Rashford and Harry Maguire going nowhere.
A new central defender to sit alongside the club captain is thought to be a key consideration.
Another goalkeeper has been touted to arrive if David De Gea or Dean Henderson leave.
And there is always the prospect of a statement signing in attack with Anthony Martial misfiring and Edinson Cavani’s future up in the air.
The likes of Erling Haaland and Harry Kane continue to be linked if United are ready to splash the cash.
But former Red Devils star Paul Ince has told Solskjaer to consider a bid for Aguero when his Manchester City contract expires in June.

He told Ladbrokes: “Sergio Aguero might be leaving Man City, why shouldn’t United make a move for him?
“You could see it now. If he wanted to stay in the Premier League and he’s living in Manchester, then I don’t think it would be a bad thing at all if they went and got Aguero.
“It can happen, who knows? You’ve got to ask the question if you’re United because you never know.”
Barcelona and Chelsea are two other clubs linked to the 32-year-old, who has scored just once in the Premier League all season.
If he did arrive, Aguero could slot into Solskjaer’s favoured 4-2-3-1 system in place of Martial or Cavani.
There is also the possibility of rejigging the formation to allow Paul Pogba and Fernandes to create for the Argentine and Rashford up top.
Elsewhere, Hugo Lloris has been named by L’Equipe as another possible surprise arrival in the summer.
The Tottenham captain is said to want one final challenge of his career and SunSport recently revealed an imminent turnover of goalkeepers at United.
Pau Torres is said by MEN to be a top target in defence, with the Villarreal star holding a £52million buyout clause in his contract.
Raphael Varane and Jules Kounde have also been linked but a player-plus-cash deal may be the preferred option to land 24-year-old Torres.
