Man Utd are in the market for a number of players still with transfer expert Fabrizio Romano providing a big update on nine targets.

There have been rumours that the Red Devils are looking to sign as many as five players before the end of the transfer window on September 1.

However, with the amount of names currently being linked, it’s proving a challenge to keep up with all potential incomings at Old Trafford.
