Manchester United are set to finalise their first transfers of the Erik ten Hag era, with deals for Tyrell Malacia and Frenkie de Jong reportedly close to completion. The club have agreed a fee with Barcelona for De Jong, while Malacia is expected to become Ten Hag's first signing.
Christian Eriksen has held positive talks with United, but the playmaker is waiting to assess Ten Hag's transfer activity before making a decision. Meanwhile, United have made a €43 million (£37m) offer for Ajax defender Lisandro Martinez, though Arsenal are also in contention and are scheduled to meet Ajax next week.
Barcelona president Joan Laporta has stated the club have 'no intention' of selling Frenkie de Jong, despite United agreeing a fee. However, Spanish sources indicate De Jong has accepted he must leave Barcelona, with Laporta waiting for the transfer to go through before strengthening his own squad.
Former United coach Michael Carrick has urged the club to give Ten Hag freedom to implement his beliefs. United have also confirmed Dean Henderson's loan move to Nottingham Forest.
