In this regard, United have been forced into the market to improve the squad in key areas and a number of players have been identified and could be making their switch to the North West next week. These two players have been earmarked:
Bruno Fernandes:
Bruno Fernandes is a player United looked at last summer, but the deal scuppered at the dearth and instead Fernandes extended his contract with Sporting Lisbon. United are said to be looking at an offer of around £50million plus add-ons for the prolific 25-year-old Portugal international.
Despite being the subject of talks in London on Friday, Fernandes started Sporting's 3-1 win over Vitoria on Saturday night and scored twice.
Sporting president Frederico Varandas and sports director Hugo Viana travelled back to Portugal for Sporting's match against Vitoria after holding a meeting at United's offices in London on Friday. Fernandes will complete his move in the coming days.
Raul Jimenez:
The Red Devils are desperate to add more goals to their front-line, having opted not to replace Romelu Lukaku in the summer. And Jimenez has impressed United chiefs since his move to the Molineux, catching the eye with his impressive link-up play and eye for goal.
The 28-year-old netted 17 goals in his first season in England, and has already equalled that this term, bagging eight in the league and nine in the Europa League.
Sky Sports actually claim that the interest from Old Trafford is firm, but that a deal would be very difficult to conclude this month, with Wolves reluctant to sell. But all that would change if a big money bid is made and United plan to do that this week to strenghten their push for a top four finish.
Now, there is every reason for United fans to be excited about these transfers and we wish them all the best for the season.
