The clock is ticking: Man United still need three major signings heading into August

Manchester United have already completed three major signings, but their summer rebuild is far from finished.

The arrivals of Andrey Santos, Karl Darlow and Youri Tielemans have strengthened the squad, yet several key areas still demand attention.

INEOS entered the transfer window with a clear objective of transforming the midfield while also reinforcing other positions across the pitch.

Karl Darlow is an underrated signing, considering his impressive exploits at Leeds United last season. He will provide quality backup for Senne Lammens while also allowing Altay Bayindir to leave.

Andrey Santos is a technically gifted midfielder who looks poised to anchor the Brazil midfield for the next decade.

Signing proven Premier League players was key, and few could have been better value than Tielemans for a cut-price fee of £35 million.

However, United’s transfer business cannot stop there if INEOS genuinely want to equip manager Michael Carrick with a squad capable of challenging on multiple fronts.

The Red Devils still need an energetic defensive midfielder capable of dominating duels and covering huge distances.

Aurelien Tchouameni remains one of the standout names linked with Old Trafford, particularly with Real Madrid pursuing Rodri after his World Cup heroics.

Tchouameni could be the ideal replacement for Casemiro, but the financial package required to lure him to Old Trafford would be very expensive.

Carlos Baleba remains an alternative, with the player reportedly keen on moving to the Theatre of Dreams. Alex Scott is also admired, but he prefers a move to Chelsea.

The situation surrounding Marcus Rashford has gone quiet, increasing the possibility of his reintegration under Carrick.

Joshua Zirkzee is expected to leave and United must target a new striker.

Benjamin Sesko should lead the attack, but United still need another quality goalscorer capable of easing his workload across four competitions.

With United reportedly open to selling Harry Amass, signing a new left-back is important.

Luke Shaw has a poor injury record and it would be unrealistic to rely on him throughout another demanding campaign.

Noussair Mazraoui and Diogo Dalot can play at left-back but United need a specialist.

Lewis Hall remains the dream target, but Newcastle United are expected to demand an enormous fee after already losing Sandro Tonali and Anthony Gordon.
