Manchester United are continuing to pursue the loan market in an attempt to bolster their squad before the 11pm transfer deadline on Friday night.
But will late targets Sergio Reguilon and Sofyan Amrabat rubber-stamp proposed switches to Old Trafford before Europe's elite finalise their summer business?
Having finished third position in the Premier League last season - as well as ending the club's trophy hoodoo - Erik ten Hag and key figures behind the scenes moved decisively to sign Andre Onana, Mason Mount and Denmark ace Rasmus Hojlund for a combined £180million outlay.
That was a huge chunk of the budget. Further additions were, always, set to be governed by outgoings and United have generally struggled to generate much-needed cash from players thought to have been deemed surplus to requirements.
