Michael Carrick faces a busy transfer window as Manchester United look to build on a promising start to the summer. After recent windows focused on defence and attack, the club's attention has turned to midfield reinforcements.
Old Trafford bosses are not planning to close the chequebook anytime soon, with more signings under consideration. These are the latest Manchester United transfer headlines.
Lewis Hall given internal approval
Newcastle United left-back Lewis Hall has emerged as a summer target, with high-ranking officials at the club reportedly giving the go-ahead to pursue the England international. United see the 21-year-old as the ideal long-term replacement for Luke Shaw and are thought to be weighing up an initial bid of around £60m, according to the Manchester Evening News.
According to Fabrizio Romano: "Man Utd consider Lewis Hall an ideal player to add to their squad. So, he is on Man Ut'd list, for sure, and he is a player internally approved."
Alex Scott open to United move
United may not be finished revamping their midfield, with Bournemouth's Alex Scott reportedly open to a move to Old Trafford this summer. Ben Jacobs said "it's quite an open race at the moment".
Scott, 22, remains among the most coveted young midfielders in England, with Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal all tracking his progress. However, it is understood he is weighing up his options rather than favouring a specific club.
Chelsea have had a £64m offer rejected by Bournemouth, who value the midfielder at around £70m. A tug-of-war between several top clubs could push the final fee closer to £80m.
