Manchester United could still manage to squeeze in a few more signings during the dying days of the summer transfer window.
Ruben Amorim is confronted with crucial and challenging choices in the market's final moments before it closes at the start of September.
Concerns persist around the goalkeeping department following high-profile blunders from both Altay Bayindir and Andre Onana, with reports indicating that discussions are advancing for Royal Antwerp's Senne Lammens whilst Gianluigi Donnarumma has also been mentioned.
Following the acquisitions of Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko, United have scope to move players on. Several members of the 'bomb squad' remain at the club despite voicing their intention to seek fresh opportunities elsewhere.
With nine days remaining in the window, Jadon Sancho, Antony and Alejandro Garnacho are still at the club amid ongoing speculation.

Rasmus Hojlund might depart following Sesko's arrival, with Napoli heavily linked to a potential loan deal, reports the Manchester Evening News.
"I think again, I know that is not a good thing to have players in this situation," Amorim commented on Friday, "but it's clear they want to play in a different club and that is clear.
"So we try to arrange everything for both parts to be happy, so I have to try to imagine to have the training with the guys that I think are going to be the future and the other guys are training and preparing for the next chapter.

"When the window is closed, it's a different history, when the window is closed, we have to receive the players and in a new life, anything can happen."
At Old Trafford, speculation has emerged surrounding a potential swoop for Brighton and Hove Albion dynamo Carlos Baleba.
The Seagulls were reportedly seeking around £100million for the midfielder, though sources indicate that United's interest was merely preliminary to gauge what terms Fabian Hurzeler's outfit might consider for parting with the talent.

VfB Stuttgart's Angelo Stiller has also been touted as a target for Man United. Sky Sports have reported that the club have investigated a potential deal for the 24 year old as they scour the market for midfield reinforcements.
Sky Sports' Dharmesh Sheth revealed: "Manchester United are still exploring the market for a midfielder in this transfer window.
"Stuttgart's Angelo Stiller is a player the club like and have looked at. However, it has not gone further than initial interest – there has been no club-to-club contact."

Nevertheless, Florian Plettenberg dismissed the speculation as inaccurate, stating there are no internal or external discussions about bringing Stiller to Old Trafford.
The German journalist insists Stiller will begin the campaign as a Stuttgart player with three years left on his deal. He's previously been linked with a move to the Premier League, with whispers of a transfer to Liverpool.
