Manchester United transfer news RECAP Maguire and McTominay to West Ham updates as bid rejected

Manchester United concluded their 2023 pre-season schedule with a 1-1 draw against Athletic Bilbao in Dublin yesterday.

Erik ten Hag fielded a weakened side to face La Liga opposition, with some fringe players and youngsters given the opportunity to impress. A late Facundo Pellistri goal cancelled out Nico Williams' first-half strike to ensure the stalemate.

United's boss is preparing his side for the 2023/24 Premier League season, with the Reds' opening game just one week away. United host Wolverhampton Wanderers at Old Trafford next Monday as they aim to avoid a repeat of last season's disastrous start.

One player who is unlikely to feature next Monday is Rasmus Hojlund. The club's new Danish striker suffered an injury during Atalanta's pre-season schedule and will not be rushed back. Marcus Rashford may be tasked with leading the line as he looks to continue the fine form that saw him score 30 goals last season.

A recap of the day's United news.

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 a move for Fiorentina midfielder Sofyan Amrabat also on the cards, as well as plenty of possible departures.
