The Red Devils have been one of the busier Premier League teams so far this transfer window with the high profile arrivals of Zirkzee and 18-year-old Lille central defender Leny Yoro.
They continue to be linked with a number of other players, including Bayern Munich’s Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui, and Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Manuel Ugarte.
United boss Erik ten Hag will be desperate to see improvements in his team after last season’s disappointing eighth-placed finish in the Premier League. Their FA Cup triumph secured the Manchester club a spot in next term’s Europa League, but their league form was far from consistent.
Man United Unlikely to Sign Another Forward
They have already signed Zirkzee from Bologna.
Attack is no longer United’s priority in the transfer window following the arrival of Zirkzee earlier in the summer, according to Sheth. This comes despite injury concerns for 21-year-old Rasmus Hojlund, who limped off in United’s pre-season friendly against Arsenal with a suspected hamstring injury.
“United have watched Ivan Toney and Dominic Calvert-Lewin and they’re admirers of them. The information that I’ve got, once Zirkzee came in, it was very unlikely that United were going to strengthen again in that area.
“They’ve got other areas they need to focus on and spend their budget on. However, if there were to be departures in the forward line, for example Jadon Sancho or Facundo Pellistri, then there is a chance United could go back into the market to try and bring in another forward player.”
