Manchester United have already spent heavily this summer but the Red Devils’ work in the transfer market looks far from finished with deals for Gianluigi Donnarumma and Idrissa Gueye
Manchester United have spent heavily this summer as Ruben Amorim attempts to get the side back on track. Matheus Cunha became the Red Devils’ first summer signing a few months ago.
And he was very quickly followed by another big-name arrival as United chiefs finally got a £71m deal for Brentford forward Bryan Mbeumo over the line. But Amorim’s side might not be totally finished there.
A striker and a new goalkeeper are among the players that they could move for in the remainder of the window. But with three weeks to go until their Premier League opener against Arsenal, they need to get a move on.
Away from incomings, a few more exits might also be on the agenda. Marcus Rashford has already completed a loan move to Barcelona, while Antony, Jadon Sancho and Alejandro Garnacho could all still leave.
With all of that being said, take a look at all of the latest transfer news and rumours from Old Trafford.
Manchester United are keeping a close eye on developments surrounding Gianluigi Donnarumma’s future at PSG. Talks over a new contract for the Italian goalkeeper have come to a standstill over recent weeks, and it appears that the French giants are ready to move on.
According to L’Equipe, they are in talks with Ligue 1 rivals Lille regarding a deal for Lucas Chevalier, who is seen as a replacement for Donnarumma. And that has seen a couple of Premier League sides sit up and take notice.
Manchester United have a long-term interest in the former AC Milan man, while Manchester City are also eyeing him as a possible replacement for Ederson should he decide to leave the Etihad.
Manchester United could be set to frustrate Brentford more after their protracted move for Bryan Mbeumo. According to The Sun, they are going head-to-head with the Bees for the signing of Metz teenager Idrissa Gueye.
The youngster caught the eye in Ligue 2 last season, scoring five goals in 17 appearances. United see him as one for the future, while Brentford would offer him first-team football straight away.
Man United have already been left annoyed by Brentford’s actions this summer during their talks regarding forward Bryan Mbeumo.

Speaking of United’s recent signing, boss Ruben Amorim has confirmed that Mbeumo is not quite ready to make his debut for the Red Devils yet. He said: “Bryan is starting slowly.
"He is not going to play in the next one. We hope to have Bryan in the last game [in the United States]. He's training now, so we'll see."
Mbeumo’s £71m move to Old Trafford was finally confirmed last week.
