Manchester United have endured a frustrating summer transfer window so far. They have signed just two players, with Matheus Cunha arriving as the first in a £62.5 million deal from Wolves last month. Diego Leon then signed as the second in a £3.3m move from Cerro Porteno in Paraguay.

Newcastle United are working on a deal worth around €75million to sign Eintracht Frankfurt forward Hugo Ekitike.
