Manchester United are pushing to finalize their summer transfer business in the last two weeks of the transfer window, with plans to bring in up to three new players. However, these signings hinge on the departure of three current squad members. Manager Erik ten Hag and football journalist Fabrizio Romano have both hinted at the ongoing negotiations and potential movements.
United’s new season kicked off with a 1-0 victory against Fulham, with Joshua Zirkzee, a recent signing, securing the win. The match also featured other new additions, such as Noussair Mazraoui and Matthijs de Ligt, who impressed on their debuts.
The club has already spent £140 million on four summer signings, but they are eager to add more, with Manuel Ugarte from PSG being their top target. Despite facing challenges in negotiations, with PSG holding firm on their £51.1 million valuation, United remains hopeful of striking a deal. Alternatives like Sander Berge, Danilo Oliveira, and Atalanta’s Ederson are also being considered. The club is working hard to secure these deals before the transfer window closes on August 30th.
