Man United reach dramatic Bruno Fernandes transfer 'agreement' as Erik ten Hag makes exit U-turn
The summer transfer window is yet to kick into gear for Manchester United. Despite plenty of swirling reports and public rumours, very little of genuine effect has taken place.
With Erik ten Hag's future decided, and the contract now extended, as well as Dan Ashworth's arrival (finally), there is optimism that things might pick up. The appointment of Christopher Vivell is expected to aid this process throughout the coming two months of action.
All of this hasn't stopped attempts at business. Be it Benjamin Sesko, Jarrad Branthwaite, Matthijs de Ligt, Joshua Zirkzee, or Jean-Clair Todibo, United have remained in the mix, and that is not likely to change.

Here, MEN Sport takes a look at the latest coming from Old Trafford.
Bruno Fernandes could yet be on his way out of the club this summer despite talk of an exit quietening down in recent weeks. It has been reported by TeamTalk that Saudi Pro League sides Al Nassr and Al Ittihad have made a push to sign Fernandes, and that he is open to moving to the former.
Fernandes cast doubt on his future earlier this year and it has now been written that United have not stood in his way, giving the greenlight for talks to start. It is alleged that the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF - Newcastle owners) are optimistic of completing a deal.
Whilst United could see their star man leave, Fernandes is not rushing into anything and is simply looking to learn more about the proposal. MEN Sport understands that he would ideally like to stay in Manchester.
