Manchester United will likely need to fork out £80million if they want to beat the competition for their next transfer target. The Red Devils are full steam ahead with plans already underway to improve their squad under Michael Carrick this summer.
A deal to sign Atalanta midfielder Ederson has reportedly been agreed with United expected to make another signing in the engine room.

A second new arrival at Old Trafford is currently being worked, while Harry Maguire’s latest career decision has been confirmed. Here, Mirror Football looks at the latest news surrounding the Premier League giants.
