Ron: Interestingly, Manchester United's best signing of the summer is not a transfer signing at all, given that it is Marcus Rashford! An option open to us would be Oleksandr Zinchenko, who is a free agent and could provide cover for Luke Shaw. Within all of the above, if an opportunity arises, such as Senne Lammens, then they will go for it.
