Louis van Gaal has already signed Memphis Depay from PSV Eindhoven, but with greater expectations on the team next season, and the Champions League to contend with, expect more business at Old Trafford over the coming weeks and months.
Various narratives and stories have developed and progressed over the last 24 hours as transfer speculation intensifies and clubs push to conclude their business.
In this feature, we run down the biggest Manchester United transfer news.
Morgan Schneiderlin
Reports indicate that United’s latest bid for the French midfielder—of £20 million—has been rejected by Southampton. The Red Devils remain overwhelming favourites to sign the ex-Racing Club de Strasbourg Alsace man, but it remains to be seen if they will meet the Saints’ £25 million-valuation.
Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal have both also been linked to Schneiderlin’s signature.
Saidy Janko
United have bid farewell to young defender Saidy Janko, who has sealed a move to Scottish giants Celtic.
The Swiss teenager—who spent the second half of last season on loan at Bolton Wanderers—is set to undergo a medical in Glasgow with terms having been agreed.
The 19-year-old is a versatile operator, and while he thrives at right-back, he can also feature on the right of midfield or in the heart of the defence.
Bastian Schweinsteiger
Pep Guardiola has placed the onus on Bastian Schweinsteiger to decide his own future. The deep-lying playmaker has been heavily linked with a switch to Old Trafford, and while his coach has admitted he would love to keep him at Bayern Munich, he has confirmed that Schweinsteiger will ultimately decide if he moves clubs.
Van Gaal is believed to be very keen to be reunited with his former charge.
Carlos Bacca
It looks unlikely that Carlos Bacca will be moving to Old Trafford this summer, with the Colombia hitman understood to be on the brink of a switch to AC Milan.
The 28-year-old Sevilla striker has been linked to both United and Liverpool, but both EPL giants may now have to look elsewhere for their next striking sensation.
Arturo Vidal
Beyond Bacca, both United and Arsenal look set to be defeated in the race for Chile midfielder Arturo Vidal.
The Juventus midfielder—who has endured a troubled Copa America—has been linked with a move to the Premier League, but Sport have reported that he has agreed a five-year deal to leave Turin for Real Madrid.
Sergio Ramos
The latest on Sergio Ramos over the last 24 hours ought to make for positive reading for United fans.
Ex-Real Madrid chief Ramon Calderon confirmed that should the defender leave, he would only move to Old Trafford, lending wait to the suggestion that the World Cup winner is desperate to secure a switch to Manchester.
Van Gaal has reportedly offered the former Sevilla man a £39 million transfer package in order to convince him to move to the north-west.
