United may return to transfer market

The injury to Luke Shaw means that Erik ten Hag may return to the transfer market in order to find some defensive cover, according to The Mirror.

The paper writes: “Erik ten Hag may have to dip into the transfer market to sign a left-back on a short-term basis following an injury to Luke Shaw.

“Manchester United are still aiming to bring in new faces before next week’s transfer deadline following their indifferent start to the new Premier League campaign, with a midfielder understood to be at the top of Ten Hag’s wishlist.

“Funds are tight at Old Trafford following a summer spend of over £170million, so making an additional, unplanned signing is unlikely to help Ten Hag in his bid to reinforce other areas of his squad.

“In midfield, Sofyan Amrabat is believed to remain the club’s top target – even though Fiorentina have reiterated that, to date, they have receive no official bid for the Morocco international.”

Barca closing in on Cancelo

Barcelona look likely to conclude a straightforward loan deal for Manchester City full-back Joao Cancelo, with no permanent move to be agreed because of Barca’s financial problems.

“The only thing that remains to be resolved is for Barcelona to ensure the deal fits within their Financial Fair Play requirements.

“Despite what has been said in the last few days, the loan of the Portuguese international does not have any obligation for Barcelona to buy him.
