We are reaching the business end of the summer transfer window and there are likely to still be plenty of deals taking place before we reach deadline day on August 31. Manchester United are still the club everybody is talking about, and there was finally some good news for Red Devils fans on Friday as the club confirmed the signing of Real Madrid midfielder Casemiro.

The experienced Brazilian will bring some much-needed winning mentality to the dressing room at Old Trafford. But manager Erik ten Hag is not going to be happy to stop there, with rumours suggesting that the Dutchman wants at least three more signings in the coming weeks.

Elsewhere, another team that have had a busy time of it so far is Chelsea. The Blues have already brought in the likes of Raheem Sterling, Kalidou Koulibaly and Marc Cucurella. And they are now being linked with a stunning move for United centre-back Harry Maguire following the England star’s miserable start to the campaign. Could we see developments in that one today?

And with other big clubs such as Arsenal, Liverpool, Tottenham and Newcastle all expected to continue splashing the cash until the very end, anything could happen in the next 11 days.

But the Red Devils aren’t expected to finish their as Erik ten Hag demands further backing in his first transfer window as manager.

United could make as many as seven summer signings in total…

Ten Hag will now prioritise a forward, with Ajax’s Antony and PSV Eindhoven’s Cody Gakpo firmly leading targets.

He also wants a new right-back, but that will depend on whether United can offload Aaron Wan-Bissaka amid talks with Crystal Palace.

A new goalkeeper is also expected to arrive at Old Trafford to provide competition for David de Gea.
