"Generational talent!" - Fabrizio Romano rates Man Utd's transfer window performance
All Man Utd ins and outs, with Fabrizio Romano's verdict on this summer's business at Old Trafford...
The summer transfer window is over, so how did Manchester United get on with the changes made to their squad? Read on for our summary, featuring analysis from columnist Fabrizio Romano…
Players in
Joshua Zirkzee - A talented young forward who impressed at Bologna, Joshua Zirkzee looks a useful addition up front, though, similarly to Rasmus Hojlund, he’s more of a signing for the future than someone who’s likely to hit the ground running and deliver 20-plus goals a season now. Time will tell if this was really the right move or if a more experienced name would have been the better option to complement Hojlund.
Leny Yoro - One of the finest young defenders in world football, Leny Yoro looks an excellent signing, especially as Real Madrid were so keen to sign him, while other big names like Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain were also among his admirers. An early injury blow has ruined his start to life at Old Trafford, but in the long run this could be a real game-changer for the Red Devils.
Matthijs de Ligt - Another strong defensive signing, Matthijs de Ligt has joined from Bayern Munich after some strong form for the club last season, even if it’s widely felt he’s still not quite reached his full potential in his career so far. Even if there’s an element of this that makes it a bit of a gamble, it was surely one worth taking when the alternative was another season relying too often on the likes of Harry Maguire and Victor Lindelof.
