Manchester United have the opportunity to bring in more players before the transfer window closes at the end of August.
With the signings of Leny Yoro and Joshua Zirkzee, the club is now focusing on concluding deals for Bayern Munich duo Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui.
Additionally, United are keen on signing Manuel Ugarte. Should funds persist and sales remain healthy, the club may also consider bringing in another striker, especially following the injury to their main man, Rasmus Hojlund.
There is also the potential for several departures from the club. Players such as Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Scott McTominay, Christian Eriksen, and Victor Lindelof may be leaving this summer.
Overall, it promises to be a very active and hectic August for the Manchester United hierarchy.
Man Utd poised to lose target to Aston Villa
Meanwhile, it has been reported that Sunderland youngster Mason Cotcher, who had a trial at United earlier this year and was a target for the club according to the Daily Mail, is now wanted by Aston Villa.
Fabrizio Romano, as cited by Manchester World, has reported that Unai Emery’s side have lodged a ‘formal bid’ for the attacker and that he is already training with the Midlands club.
Cotcher is an England youth international and is highly-rated at the Stadium of Light.
However, the Black Cats could lose him now with Villa ready to pounce.
It remains unclear what United’s stance is on this, but it seems likely they will let Villa have the player as they focus on other targets.
In some good news for United fans, the club has already secured two wonderkids: Chido Obi-Martin from Arsenal and Samuel Lusale from Crystal Palace.
These signings highlight United’s commitment to investing in young talent for the future.
