Manchester United and other Premier League sides are able to do business after the transfer window reopened.

Erik ten Hag wants to sign a new centre-back, at least one central midfielder and a versatile forward as part of his much-needed rebuild after touching down in the UK from Ajax. However, the Old Trafford outfit have already been knocked back by one proposed target.

That comes as Benfica hot-shot Darwin Nunez edges closer to a big-money move to Liverpool.

Louis van Gaal admitted Jurrien Timber was playing on “his final legs” after the Manchester United target struggled in his latest outing with the Netherlands.
