Ugarte transfer complete, Sancho sold and Mejbri decisions - Man United dream 25-man squad
It's been a busy summer for Erik ten Hag and Manchester United in the first transfer window of Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS' tenure.
With four new additions to the squad, it hasn't been a complete rebuild but enough to freshen up the squad ahead of another rollercoaster campaign. United continue to be linked with a move for PSG midfielder Manuel Ugarte, and the MEN understands he'll likely be the only addition for the remainder of the window.
In terms of departures, Jadon Sancho's future remains a mystery, and youngster Hannibal Mejbri has been linked with a move away from Old Trafford this summer. Here, the Manchester Evening News looks at what the best case 25-man Premier League squad could be, and it makes for good reading.

Taking into account rules regarding homegrown players and under-21s who don't have to be accounted for in the main group (and must have been born on or after January 1, 2003), this is the selection made. As per the current guidelines, United have a 24-man squad for the Premier League, but that could be shrunk further with certain departures.
United are in a strong position when it comes to their goalkeeping department. Andre Onana has firmly established himself as number one at Old Trafford and will be looking to improve on the nine clean sheets he picked up in the Premier League last season.
