      The Brazilian’s arrival will take United’s summer splurge to around £125million… and it is unlikely to end there.
      According to the Mirror, the Red Devils could take their spending to £300m by splashing out on a trio of high profile signings.
      They claim that United STILL want Frenkie de Jong, despite bolstering their midfield by recruiting Casemiro.
      Completing a deal for the Dutchman still appears a far-fetched possibility, however, with De Jong expecting Barca to give up on their quest to sell him and avoid paying £17m in deferred wages.

      United agreed a £71.5m deal for the 25-year-old earlier this summer, but De Jong was unwilling to move while his financial dispute with Barcelona raged on.
      The Red Devils also remain determined to prise winger Antony away from Ajax, but are finding a deal similarly hard to come by.
      United chiefs had a £72m bid turned down for the Brazilian this week – prompting him to allegedly SKIP training on Friday in protest.
      The Dutch giants are reluctant to lose yet another key figure to Old Trafford this summer, following the departures of Ten Hag and Lisandro Martinez.

      It’s expected that they will relent and sell Antony, however, if a big enough bid is lodged.
      In addition to Antony, United want to further bolster their forward options by signing Cody Gakpo from PSV.
      The Dutch side value Gakpo at £35m, but United believe this valuation could fall if PSV fail to qualify for the Champions League group stage.
      They host Rangers next week with their tie finely poised at 2-2, and United are likely to wait until the outcome of the match before pressing on with a move.
      The Red Devils are claimed to believe that signing new attackers could strengthen their position in dealing with wantaway forward Cristiano Ronaldo.
      Sulky star Ron is determined to leave Old Trafford, but United publicly maintain that he is not for sale.

      “A warning for your new colleagues to know. Because with you even the Turkish bath was a gym… and you only allow people to lie down when it’s time to do sit-ups.” More

      He arrived in London two years ago but has since failed to establish himself as a regular first team starter.
      Blues boss Thomas Tuchel is now open to offloading him on a permanent basis.

      According to Dutch outlet De Telegraaf, Ziyech is keen to re-join his former club.
      The Morocco international spent four years with the Dutch giants before joining Chelsea in 2020.
      During that time he scored 49 goals and assisted 81 in 165 appearances.
      If Ajax were to complete a deal for Ziyech, who is expected to cost just £8million, it could open the door for Man Utd to sign top target Antony.

      The Red Devils had a £67.5m bid for the winger rejected earlier this week.
      But, with Ziyech set to make an arrival, the Eredivisie champions may be more inclined to accept a new offer.
      Man Utd chiefs have already established PSV winger Cody Gakpo as an alternative target if they cannot sign Antony.
      The Dutchman would be a more affordable option with PSV expecting just £34m for his services. More

      But if they cannot secure the Ivory Coast international then Diallo is thought to be next on their list of targets.
      According to The Mail, Nice are one of a number of clubs chasing the Man Utd youngster.
      Championship sides Blackpool and Sunderland are also interested in the 20-year-old forward.
      And he is not in Erik ten Hag’s plans at Old Trafford, so the wise decision may well be to take up another loan move.

      Diallo spent last season at Rangers as United were keen for him to earn some game time.
      And he netted three times in 13 appearances for the Scottish outfit – but failed to establish himself as a first team regular.
      He spent pre-season back with Man Utd but has not figured in Ten Hag’s starting line-ups.
      Now things appear to be coming to a head as he is linked with a move away.

      Meanwhile, Cristiano Ronaldo continues to be linked with a move away from Old Trafford – although it remains to be seen where he could end up. More

      His disappointment following the club’s disastrous 2021-22 campaign, which saw them finish sixth in the Premier League table and without any silverware, is understood to be the main factor contributing to his desire to leave.
      New United boss Erik ten Hag was initially reluctant to let him go, but he has since had a change of heart and is now willing to consider a sale.
      Various clubs have been linked with a potential swoop for the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner including Bayern Munich, Atletico Madrid, Barcelona, Sporting Lisbon, Borussia Dortmund and Chelsea.
      But, a move has failed to materialise mainly due to the player’s age and wage demands.

      Marseille were the most recent side to express an interest in signing Ronaldo, however, they are no longer considering a deal.
      According to RMC Sport, the Ligue 1 side now have no intention of recruiting him.
      This acts as another huge blow to the Portugal skipper, who is eager to make a return to Champions League football.
      Ronaldo has struggled to reintegrate back into the Man Utd squad since returning from the summer break.

      The Red Devils currently sit rock bottom of the Premier League table with no points after suffering two consecutive defeats against Brighton and Brentford respectively. More

      The England star, also linked with Chelsea and Liverpool, is a top target for Real.
