Ed Woodward wants Man Utd to make two major transfers by July

Ed Woodward aims for Manchester United to make two major transfers by early July, according to reported information.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's team needs major investments this summer, as several players are expected to leave Old Trafford.

United has not signed yet, but Swansea City winger Daniel James has undergone a medical exam on Thursday and is expected to make an impending move of £ 18 million.

United also discussed a contract with Ajax's central defender, Matthijs de Ligt, and would have offered him to make him the highest paid teenager with a £ 350,000 contract a week. .

And according to The Sun, the signing of a new defender ranks high on United's list of priorities, as the club wants two important signatures to be in place by the end of July, when Solskjaer and his team will report.

Toby Alderweireld (Tottenham) and central defender Kalidou Koulibaly (Napoli) also feature in United's summer selection program.

"Some Carrington staff have to wait at least two new faces before their training on July 1st," United told The Sun.

"We are confident that a couple is about to cross the finish line. Discussions are going well and took place before the end of last season.

"There could be up to four who join the rest of the team on the next tour to Australia and the Far East."
