Manchester United are preparing for an exciting start to their Premier League season as they prepare to face Fulham at Old Trafford on Friday night, according to Manchester World.
Manager Erik ten Hag is likely to show new additions to the squad, following an eventful summer transfer window.
In a significant development, United are close to completing deals for two defensive reinforcements from Bayern Munich: Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui.
The duo is expected to undergo medical examinations on Monday, and if all goes smoothly, they could make their debuts in the upcoming match.
This potential double signing reveals the club's intent to strengthen their defense after a promising showing against Manchester City in the Community Shield last weekend.
Meanwhile, Aaron Wan-Bissaka is on the verge of departing the club. Talks with West Ham United are ongoing, with only a few final details left to resolve.
Despite a scheduled medical in London, Wan-Bissaka remains in Manchester for now as negotiations continue.
David Ornstein has reported that the transfer is close, but the delay is attributed to unresolved terms between the clubs.
Manchester United's transfer activity doesn't stop there.
The club is also exploring the possibility of bringing in a new midfielder before the transfer window closes.
However, a move for Sporting Lisbon's Manuel Ugarte is stalled due to Paris Saint-Germain's high asking price. Additionally, Burnley's Sander Berge is on United's radar, though no formal offer has been made.
To fund these new acquisitions, United are open to offloading several players.
Scott McTominay and Hannibal Mejbri could be sold to balance the books, while forwards Facundo Pellistri and Jadon Sancho are also considered surplus to requirements.
However, there have been no concrete developments regarding their exits as of now.
