Manchester United transfer news LIVE Hojlund injury 'update', Eze interest, Casemiro latest

Manchester United are already plotting the next few transfer windows, having earmarked a winger, a midfielder and a defender as their new targets.

MEN Sport understands that United are keeping tabs on Eberechi Eze, whose contract has a £68million release clause that becomes active next year. The club are also expected to continue their pursuit of Jarrad Branthwaite, having seen two bids rejected over the summer.

Meanwhile, the chances of Casemiro leaving for Turkey grow slimmer as the Super Lig transfer deadline approaches. His inclusion in United's Europa League squad last week indicated that a move was not in the immediate pipeline.

And elsewhere, a report says Rasmus Hojlund will be assessed before it is determined whether he will be fit enough to take on Southampton this Saturday. The attacker has not yet played this season having sustained injury in pre-season.

The injured Rasmus Hojlund will be assessed before a decision is made on his inclusion against Southampton on Saturday, says ESPN.

The report adds that United will not rush the Dane back to action ahead of time, and will delay his return from his setback if required.

Hojlund, who with 16 goals was United's top scorer last season, has not played for United after sustaining his hamstring problem in pre-season.
