The Red Devils are in talks with several players.
But, it seems likely that none will arrive.
Manchester United are said to be in talks with several players. However, according to David Ornstein of The Athletic, the Red Devils may eventually end up empty-handed. Portuguese newspaper O Jogo revealed on Monday that a deal taking Bruno Fernandes to Old Trafford is done.
However, The Athletic journalist Ornstein says “reports in recent days that it is on the verge of happening are wide of the mark”. Ornstein adds that the only way a deal gets done from here is if Sporting “decide their need for money is more important than their need for the asking price to be matched”.

Ornstein revealed “no deals are imminent”. As part of the report in The Athletic, Ornstein also claims that Edinson Cavani is now likely to join Atletico Madrid despite United making a late enquiry about the Paris Saint-Germain striker: “Cavani’s salary and injury record meant they were not completely sold on the Uruguayan”.
