Manchester United's plans for the summer transfer window are beginning to take shape with more deals potentially being lined up.
United have already made two new signings so far this summer with Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo arriving in deals completed earlier in the window. The Reds will also welcome Diego Leon to their squad after a deal was agreed earlier in the year.
Ruben Amorim and Co. are now back in England after their pre-season tour of the United States as they prepare for the start of the new Premier League campaign. Work will still be underway behind the scenes to complete more transfers ahead of the September 1 deadline, and it seems clear what the next deals will be over the next few weeks.
United are confident of agreeing a deal to sign RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko this summer. United made a bid worth up to £74million, including add-ons, and look set to beat Newcastle United to the striker's signature.
If United do go on to sign Sesko, it seems clear what their next deals could be. News emerged on Wednesday that Brighton midfielder Carlos Baleba is a target for United, although there are suggestions that a deal may not be easy to complete.
A report on talkSPORT has also claimed that United are in talks with Chelsea over a deal to sell Alejandro Garnacho. There is no mention of a potential fee that would be involved if a deal was agreed, with Garnacho being heavily linked with a move away from United all summer.
The Manchester Evening News reported back in May that Garnacho was told by United that he could leave the club if a suitable offer was made. The Argentina international was not part of United's squad that travelled to the United States for their pre-season tour.
