Manchester United has not yet signed any players this summer and has missed out on two midfield targets. After Manchester City secured a deal for Elliot Anderson on June 25, Tottenham agreed to an £85 million transfer for Mateus Fernandes from West Ham. United aimed for both players but found the asking prices unmanageable. With key players like Casemiro and Jadon Sancho leaving, United's current squad remains largely unchanged, aside from the previously confirmed departure of Rasmus Hojlund. United is exploring options, including potential signings from Bournemouth and Brighton, amidst assurances from club officials about forthcoming acquisitions.
