Manchester United are preparing for their upcoming Premier League match against Crystal Palace as they aim to secure European football. Despite the season's ongoing nature, United are already linked with potential summer signings, including Barcelona defender Ronald Araujo. Reports suggest United are also interested in Nice's Jean-Clair Todibo, with competition from Atletico Madrid and AC Milan for his signature.

Manchester United are gearing up for their return to Premier League action in the coming days.

United must wait until Monday night before facing Crystal Palace at Old Trafford. The Reds are aiming to secure European football with just four top-flight fixtures remaining.

Erik ten Hag's team currently sits in sixth place in the Premier League table ahead of the clash against the Eagles. This position could change if Newcastle secure all three points against Burnley on Saturday, just two days before United's match against Palace.

Despite the season not yet reaching its conclusion, United are already being linked with potential new signings. Rumours are swirling around possible players that the Reds could target when the transfer window reopens this summer.

Reports suggest that United remain interested in signing Barcelona defender Ronald Araujo. According to Caught Offside, the Reds are preparing to enter negotiations with Araujo's representatives to sign the centre-back at the end of the season.

It has been claimed that Barcelona may consider allowing Araujo to leave this summer if a suitable offer is made for the Uruguay international. The report mentions that a fee in the region of €100 million (£85 million) would be required to initiate negotiations for Araujo's future.

Elsewhere, United are reportedly not alone in showing interest in signing Nice centre-back Jean-Clair Todibo. The Reds have been heavily linked with a move for the defender in recent transfer windows but have yet to make a move to bring the player to Old Trafford.

According to L'Equipe, via Get French Football News, United will have to compete against Atletico Madrid and AC Milan for the signing of Todibo. The former Barcelona defender has also been linked with Tottenham Hotspur in the past.
