Manchester United have added Brighton duo Alexis Mac Allister and Moises Caicedo to their transfer wish list for the summer, according to reports.
Erik ten Hag is enjoying a promising debut campaign at Old Trafford, with United well positioned to secure a top-four finish in the Premier League.
The Red Devils have already won the EFL Cup this term and are still involved in the FA Cup and Europa League.

But Ten Hag will be keen to kick on again in the 2023/24 campaign, and he will hope to be backed heavily in the summer transfer market.
The Dutchman is apparently on the lookout for at least one more midfielder to add to a group which already includes Casemiro, Bruno Fernandes, Fred, Scott McTominay, Christian Eriksen, Donny van de Beek and Marcel Sabitzer, who is on loan in Manchester until the end of the season.

According to the Daily Telegraph, Brighton pair Mac Allister and Caicedo are both admired by the hierarchy at Old Trafford.
Caicedo tried to push through a move to Arsenal in January, but Brighton dug in their heels and the Ecuador international ended up signing a new deal at the Amex Stadium.
