The Red Devils are far from finished, however, with a new partner for Kobbie Mainoo in central midfield now their top priority.
PSG’s Manuel Ugarte remains the No 1 target and personal terms are agreed. United’s focus is now on convincing PSG to lower their €60m/£51m demands. If the Ligue 1 giant stand firm, United must sell a player in order to finance the killer bid.
Elsewhere, a new left-back is also wanted, while the club continued to be linked with Brentford and England hitman, Ivan Toney. That was despite already signing Joshua Zirkzee this window.
Toney would represent the most proven option between he Zirkzee and Rasmus Hojlund. The 28-year-old scored 20 Premier League goals in the 2022/23 campaign and has forced his way into the England set-up.
Brentford are willing to cash in given Toney has entered the final year of his deal. The Bees still aim to collect a sizeable fee, however, with a £60m windfall in their sights.
