In this transfer window, Manchester United are cooking.
Not only have the club brought in signings before the start of their pre-season tour even began, something that hasn’t happened for years, but there doesn’t seem to be any sign of that slowing down.
News broke earlier today that United are in advanced talks to sign Noussair Mazraoui from Bayern Munich.
The United hierarchy are not only getting players in, but they’re also getting them out.
Joe Hugill has just signed a one-year loan agreement with Wigan Athletic. That should provide the youngster with some much needed first team minutes this season.
Those two deals seem to be just the tip of the iceberg.
Another big move that the club are making progress in is their pursuit of Arsenal wonderkid Chido Obi-Martin.
Obi-Martin is a highly rated player and seen as one of the most promising youngsters in England right now.
It was revealed a week ago that the player had visited Carrington to discuss a move to United.
Arsenal are set to lose the player on a free and he’s able to speak to other clubs now.
It’s been reported that he’s also been in discussions with several clubs in Germany as the 16-year-old views up the next move in his career.
And it seems as if he wants a move to United.
The Twitter/X page AcademyScoop, who initially broke the story of Obi-Martin’s Carrington visit, has just tweeted that Manchester United are confident they’ll bag their man.
Apparently, the young Danish forward has told his nearest and dearest that his preference is to move to Old Trafford.
That surely will make things easier to bring him in the door.
If United pull this off, it’d be a huge statement of intent.
INEOS have already impressed by beating Real Madrid to the signing of Leny Yoro.
Taking one of their rivals best youth prospects in Chido Obi-Martin would be another statement signing and prove that the new regime is here to win.
Manchester United are confident that an agreement can be found for Chido Obi-Martin, with a final decision imminent.
