Erik ten Hag's £68million Man Utd midfield plan with two stars targeted
Manchester United's summer transfer window continues to gather pace with the signing Rasmus Hojlund from Atalanta.
Hojlund, 20, will complete a £72million transfer shortly and become United's third signing of the summer after agreeing a long-term deal. The Red Devils will pay £64m up front for the Denmark international, who scored nine Serie A goals last season.
Erik ten Hag has already signed Andre Onana from Inter Milan and Mason Mount from Chelsea. Onana has replaced David de Gea as United's first-choice goalkeeper after the Spaniard's contract expired, while Mount will wear the No.7 at Old Trafford.
But could Ten Hag sign more players before the end of August? Here are the latest transfer rumours from the red half of Manchester...
Amrabat pushing for move
Sofyan Amrabat will reject a lucrative offer from Saudi Arabia to keep his hopes of joining United alive, according to talkSPORT. The Morocco international, 26, could be on the move this month after entering the final year of his Fiorentina contract.

United are interested in signing Amrabat, who is valued at around £30million. The midfielder played under Ten Hag at Dutch side Utrecht and flourished for his country at last year's World Cup in Qatar, helping Morocco reach the semi-finals.
United will need to sell players to afford Amrabat. It's believed Eric Bailly, Harry Maguire, Fred, Brandon Williams, Donny van de Beek and Scott McTominay will all be allowed to leave Old Trafford this month... but only for the right price.

Goretzka also a target
United have reignited their interest in Bayern Munich midfielder Leon Goretzka, according to Sky in Germany. The Germany international, 28, has struggled to get ahead of Konrad Laimer and Joshua Kimmich in Thomas Tuchel's midfield during pre-season.
That has put United on red alert. It's unclear how much Bayern willl demand for Goretzka, who still has three years remaining on his contract, after signing him from Schalke on a free transfer five years ago. He's valued at €45m (£38.7m) by Transfermarkt.
Henderson exit latest
United remain locked in talks with Nottingham Forest over the sale of Dean Henderson. The England international, 26, spent last season on loan at the City Ground but was restricted to just 18 Premier League appearances after picking up a thigh injury.
Henderson would like to re-join Forest, but it's not that simple. According to The Athletic, Forest want to re-sign Henderson on loan with an obligation to buy him if he plays 30 games for them this coming season. Yet United want that threshold to be much lower.
Henderson is one of the most exciting English goalkeepers on the market and still has two years remaining on his contract, which United can extend by a further 12 months if they wish to do so. That is why they are refusing to sell him on the cheap to Forest.
