Manchester United have been busy in the summer transfer window but they know there is still plenty more work to be done.
More signings are needed this summer
It’s already been a busy summer for Manchester United and they’re not done yet.
Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo are the marquee signings of the summer so far, and while they will certainly help to sharpen a blunt attack, United still need to sign a centre-forward.
The club are advancing with a potential move for RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko, with Aston Villa digging their heels in over Ollie Watkins. Whatever happens, United need a striker.
Outgoings are expected to dominate the agenda at United over the next few weeks, with Alejandro Garnacho, Jadon Sancho, Antony and Tyrell Malacia all still looking for a move after telling the club of their desire to explore opportunities away from Old Trafford.
While money is needed, plenty of loan moves have been sanctioned this summer, with Marcus Rashford’s move to Barcelona, of course, the standout temporary exit. Plenty of academy players have also secured loan moves, with Jack Moorhouse the latest to do so after he signed for Leyton Orient on loan. Ethan Wheatley has also left on loan after he joined Northampton Town.
With so much going on, here’s a look at all of United’s transfer business so far this summer.
