Manchester United are being tipped to complete five more signings during the summer transfer window after Erik ten Hag made his move for Netherlands defender Tyrell Malacia. The 22-year-old has signed for an initial €15million, from Feyenoord, and will compete with Luke Shaw for a place at left-back.
Free agent Christian Eriksen is also edging towards a move to Old Trafford and bookmakers SkyBet have, as things stand, frozen the market to determine his next club. Eriksen spent the second half of last season at Brentford - and the Bees wanted to keep him amid further interest from United and other clubs.
Eriksen, 30, has verbally agreed a transfer and Manchester Evening News understands he will sign for the club on a three-year deal. It's expected that he will become signing number two.
