The Athletic's latest weekly transfer report, Mark Critchley and Manchester United team reporter Laurie Whitwell jointly reported, introducing the Red Devils' arrangements for the last week of the transfer window.
This week's news
Last weekend, Manchester United started negotiations on Antwerp goalkeeper Senna Ramons, aiming to strengthen the goalkeeper's configuration. Previously, Baindel made a mistake in the game losing to Arsenal 0-1. Lamens is not on the A-list of Antwerp's weekend against Charleroi, and negotiations to his transfer to Old Trafford are still ongoing.
If the 23-year-old goalkeeper joins, he will form a four-man goalkeeper lineup with Baindel, Onana and Tom Heaton. Even if Onana participates in the African Cup this winter, the configuration is still redundant (exceeding the standards of most clubs) and may require adjustments in the future.
Is there a lineup flaw that hinders Amorin's coaching this season?
draw with Fulham on Sunday, although he scored one more point than the first round loss, there were fewer positive factors overall. Despite taking the lead at Craven Farm, Manchester United has given Marco Silva's side a tie due to lack of control, which once again exposed the old problems of Amorin's midfield construction.
Bruno Fernandez is involved in the organization deeper, but his frontcourt influence is weakened, and opponents can take advantage of the gap left by this front-and-back sprint style. Fulham is exactly this way on Sunday, with Marco Silva and Ivobi revealing that they are waiting for an opportunity to break through Manchester United's double midfield defense with numbers.
If B's fee is determined to play in the midfield mainly (the possibility is extremely high), he needs to be a suitable partner to avoid risks. But despite rumors of having sex with midfielders throughout the summer window, it is impossible to guarantee that Manchester United can complete the reinforcement at this position before the end of next Monday.
Which position/player is still the target?
The dynamic midfielder with strong athletic ability is on the Manchester United list throughout the summer window. Brighton's Baleba is regarded as an ideal target. Manchester United suspended his pursuit two weeks ago (Brighton refused to sell this summer and asked for a price of nearly Kessedo's £115 million transfer fee in 2023). Despite appreciating alternatives such as Adam Walton, Yulmander, no substantive actions have been advanced.
Which players may leave the team?
Manchester United is embracing the last week of the busiest summer window of nearly the year, focusing on player sales. Many clubs such as Naples are considering introducing Hoylen (most teams propose loan), and RB Leipzig, Atlanta and AC Milan are also paying attention. Players tend to stay in the team to compete for positions, but the two consecutive squads are out of the list show limited opportunities and he is expected to miss the League Cup against Greensby.
Garnacho's transfer to Chelsea is still determined by the financial plan negotiations between the clubs. Real Betis has recently promoted the introduction of Anthony again, and Manchester United insists on accepting only permanent transfers rather than loan. If Sancho, Maracia and other members of the cleaning list want to leave the team, follow-up operations are still needed.
