Manchester United news and transfers LIVE Bayindir and Amrabat latest plus Hojlund news

Manchester United will have two more days to prepare before they take back to the field against Nottingham Forest on Saturday.

United go into the game low on options in midfield after Mason Mount joined the injury list alongside Kobbie Mainoo after being ruled out until September with an unspecified injury. Rasmus Hojlund, Tyrell Malacia and Tom Heaton are also sidelined.

A youthful United side lost 3-0 to Burnley in a behind-closed-doors friendly on Wednesday. Eight participants are yet to play for Erik ten Hag's side but the match was used to give the likes of Jonny Evans, Scott McTominay, Donny van de Beek, Hannibal Mejbri, Facundo Pellistri and Anthony Martial all taking part.

Meanwhile, a goalkeeper remains the likeliest next incoming despite their interest in a midfielder. A move for a goalkeeper is more advanced after United ran medical checks on Altay Bayindir of Fenerbahce amid the possibility Dean Henderson could still leave.

The transfer window is in full swing and United have got their hands on three players well in advance of the September 1 deadline, with Rasmus Hojlund joining Mason Mount and Andre Onana at Old Trafford.

A goalkeeper, a midfielder and a striker were Erik ten Hag's priorities heading into the summer window, but that doesn't mean their business ends here, with further incomings and outgoings still on the cards..
