Man United need to end the transfer window with a flourish ahead of Friday night's 11pm deadline.
Just four more sleeps stand between Manchester United and the closure of the 2023 summer transfer window. Following a successful first season under Erik ten Hag's stewardship, the club entered this summer's window with the ambition of adding quality over quantity.
It means United are now having to bear their absences in mind when finalising their recruitment plan ahead of Friday night's 11pm deadline. United are seeking cover for Shaw, who is set be out for 'a number of weeks', and they still want to beef up their midfield options - a mission they identified before Mount was assigned to the treatment room.
The Frenchman struggles to stay fit for more than five minutes, meaning United would benefit from bringing in another forward before the bell. The Manchester Evening News reported at the start of last month that manager Erik ten Hag wanted an additional forward on top of the elite-level striker that the Reds craved.
Matej Kovar, Anthony Elanga and Fred have commanded higher prices but still not enough to make a considerable difference at a club of United's stature. The club's most sellable assets remain at the club and it remains to be seen if they will be shifted before the bell. Get United transfer updates on WhatsApp! The transfer window is in full swing and United have got their hands on three players well in advance of the September 1 deadline, with Rasmus Hojlund joining Mason Mount and Andre Onana at Old Trafford.
In addition to those four needing to be offloaded, United should also attempt to offload Eric Bailly, Alvaro Fernandez and Hannibal Mejbri. Facundo Pellistri could also depart on loan, though he should be retained.
