Erik ten Hag is hoping to have six signings confirmed by the time the transfer window shuts in his first summer as the manager of Manchester United.
It hasn't been plain sailing for United this summer, with their failed move for Frenkie de Jong well-documented, as were their short-lived pursuits of Marko Arnautovic and Adrien Rabiot. Ten Hag also looked at signing Darwin Nunez before his transfer to Liverpool, while top defensive target Jurrien Timber turned down a move to Old Trafford after being warned that it could cost him a World Cup place at the end of the year.
Yet, against all the odds, United are ending the window on an unexpected high after stumbling across a deal for midfield maestro Casemiro and Ajax ace Antony. Martin Dubravka will arrive as back-up to David de Gea, making him the sixth summer addition following moves for Tyrell Malacia, Christian Eriksen and Lisandro Martinez.
