The Red Devils want to boost their squad with a couple of signings that have been requested specifically by coach Erik Ten Hag.

It is time for all teams in the world to search for reinforcements, and Manchester United seem to have hit the nail on its head with their first options to add talent to their squad.

Last season, coach Erik Ten Hag struggled to get new players that suited his playing style, but the Red Devils' hierarchy has seemingly learned from their mistakes and have already listened to their coach's demands. The result? Two players from the same Bundesliga team could be joining the English club in a matter of days.

According to a report by German media outlet Kicker, Erik Ten Hag requested to pursue the signings of Jeremie Frimpong and Moussa Diaby, two of Bayer Leverkusen's top players last season. Reports for both players were satisfying, and the club is expected to present bids for both players soon.

To make things even better for the Red Devils, Die Werkself have apparently allowed both players to start contract conversations with the Premier League outfit, as they are looking to cash in on their good season while also adding money to fund other transfers.

Frimpong played most of Leverkusen's games as a right-back, a position Ten Hag wanted to reinforce since his arrival. As for Diaby, the French footballer earned praise for his antics as a left winger, which would see him adding depth to a spot where Antony and other Manchester United players failed to impress.

Bayer Leverkusen qualified to the UEFA Europa League, and while their success in this competition could be linked with these two footballers, the club would be ready to let them leave to give coach Xabi Alonso more talent in other positions.
