With just over three weeks left in the summer transfer window following the arrivals of Jadon Sancho and Raphael Varane this season, some United fans may have to accept the fact that there will be no more signings.
According to the Manchester Evening News, Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer admitted that any additions outside of Tom Heaton, Jayden Sancho and Varane will now be a "windfall", after all, the addition of one goalkeeper (Tom Heaton) and two world-class players (Jayden Sancho, Varane) may be enough to achieve the ambitions of the coming year. But United are preparing for the Premier League title race, and it's hard not to be greedy to sign a few more players.
United remain interested in signing a new midfielder and a full-back before the transfer window closes, but Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has also said that even a fourth signing would not be seen as a "disaster".
In the eyes of the general Manchester United fans, it is believed that if the fourth signing is a midfielder, it will bring the biggest boost to the team at present, after all, Nemania Matic is too old to play all season, McFred's combination of defense is OK but the attack is only scott McTominay has occasionally done well, and with French rising star midfielder Eduardo Camavinga is now considered "unlikely" to leave Rennes this summer.
Although Diogo Dalot is still in the squad and has not reached a loan consensus with AC Milan for the time being, it is most likely that he will still be a new right-back. The current target is 30-year-old England international Kieran Trippier, an option that would not only ease Aaron Wan-Bissaka's physical demands during his long season, but he would offer a completely different role.
United are keen to further increase their attacking threat on the right wing, while Kieran Trippier's flank attacking ability and outstanding crosses make him the ideal candidate for the job, especially in building a tacit understanding with Jayden Sancho. Kieran Trippier also possesses the key attributes of being able to play at left-back, and Kieran Trippier himself is also very keen to return to England. Unfortunately, the offers of Manchester United and Atletico Madrid for Kieran Trippier were too different, and Atletico Madrid put up a transfer fee of £30 million for the right-back, but Manchester United were only prepared to pay £10m for the player who would eventually become Aaron Wan-Bissaka's substitute, so United had no interest in him. After this transfer event, United preferred to give Diogo Dalot a chance.
In fact, there are intermittent names related to Manchester United, the latest one is Bayern midfielder Corentin Tolisso.
