With Manchester United now on the right track under Erik ten Hag, the Dutch manager will want to ensure his squad continues to be improved as best it can.

A new right-back is definitely on the cards at Old Trafford, but there is also a need for at least one new midfielder, with Wout Weghorst providing cover up front.

Whether Manchester United address that in January remains to be seen, but it appears they already have a name in mind going forward, and that’s Lovro Majer.

The Croatia international was part of his country’s squad for the World Cup, who came third in Qatar, and excelling in France after making the switch to Rennes last season.

That caught the eye of a couple of clubs in England, including Manchester United, who, according to Jeunes Footeux, have been keeping tabs on his performances.

It’s said the Red Devils are following him ‘closely’, even if his performances this campaign haven’t reached the heights of the previous.

Still, Manchester United are among those ‘convinced’ that he has the potential to becoming the ‘worthy successor of Luka Modric’, and one of their scouts was ‘in the stands’ at Roazhon Park to see Rennes beat Paris Saint-Germain not too long ago.

Something to keep an eye on, just like what Ten Hag appears to be doing with Majer.
