Manchester United will be aiming to ramp up their transfer work over the next few weeks as the new season rears its head on the horizon.
Red Devils’ boss Erik ten Hag has submitted a lengthy list of targets to his recruitment team in order to push through a few deals. The club’s business has been impacted this summer due to the club’s ongoing takeover saga.
Frustration has ramped up at Old Trafford with the fans staging another protest at Old Trafford, with the club forced to shut their fan store. Whether that encourages the Glazers to ramp up the process remains to be seen.
Take a look at all of the rumours coming out of United over the past 24 hours:
Bayern lodge Kane bid
One of the prime targets for the Red Devils heading into this window was Tottenham striker Harry Kane. With just a year left on his contract, it was thought that a deal would have been realistic.

However, United were forced to abandon their interest in the England captain due to Daniel Levy's huge demands. Their hopes of signing him have also taken another huge hit with competition in him ramping up their interest.
According to The Athletic, Bayern Munich have lodged an opening bid for Kane. Their offer is thought to be around the £60million mark, with add-ons. Spurs are expected to reject that bid with Levy determined not to sell for lower than £100m.
Koulibaly issues warning
Speaking of strikers, Victor Osimhen's former Napoli teammate Kalidou Koulibaly has warned the forward to think carefully about his next move to ensure he does not regret it.
“Victor is an important player, among the best in the world,' the former Chelsea star told Corriere dello Sport. “Gennaro Gattuso helped him, Luciano Spalletti was a turning point for him and now he needs nobody.
“He must feel free to choose without listening to anyone else. That's the only way not to have regrets.”
Osimhen is among those who could fit the bill of the big-name forward that Ten Hag wants to sign this summer.

Red Devils take on AC Milan
Whilst Osimhen could be moving to Old Trafford from Italy, the same could potentially be said for Sofyan Amrabat. After impressing for Morocco at the World Cup, he was being eyed by Liverpool and Barcelona.
Man United have also been linked with an interest in the midfielder but are competing with Italian giants AC Milan to sign him, according to tuttomercatoweb. The Italian giants are reportedly eyeing Amrabat as a replacement for Sandro Tonali - who is set for a move to Newcastle.
