Manchester United have only made a single significant signing this summer as they aim to recover from their worst Premier League season ever - with selling stars crucial to funding new acquisitions.
The Red Devils ended up in 15th place last term and missed out on Champions League football after losing the Europa League final to Tottenham. Ruben Amorim is eager to shake up his team and has already snapped up Matheus Cunha from Wolves for a hefty £62.5million.
Young talents Diego Leon and Enzo Kana-Biyik have also joined the ranks at Old Trafford. But there's likely to be a flurry of activity before the transfer window slams shut, with Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho, Alejandro Garnacho, Antony and Tyrell Malacia all potentially heading for the exit.
Here's all the latest transfer news from Old Trafford.

The report suggests Rashford is holding out for a move to Barcelona, with the Spanish heavyweights keen on bringing him in on loan with an option to buy for somewhere between £30m and £40m.
This comes after Barca's failed attempt to sign Nico Williams. Barcelona were poised to activate the forward's release clause, but Williams ended up penning a new 10-year deal to stay put at Athletic Bilbao.

Manchester United are rumoured to be eyeing a move for Fiorentina's Moise Kean, with the striker's release clause expiring today, reports the Mirror.
The 25-year-old had a cracking season with Fiorentina last term, scoring 25 goals in 44 appearances across the board.
Due to his release clause that needs to be triggered by July 15, Kean is available for €52m, which translates to approximately £45m.
Kean has previously played in the Premier League for Everton but struggled to find form at Goodison Park, scoring only four goals in 39 appearances for the Toffees.
However, he has rebuilt his career in Italy and now could find a way back to the bright lights of the Premier League.

Back in December, Ruben Amorim gave the youngster a nod, stating: "He impressed me a lot, so it's also a sign to the youth players that they can be here."
Amorim told MUTV. "If something happened with the first-team squad, they have to step up and I think he's ready, he's very adult to handle the demands of the Premier League."
