Manchester United has had a mixed start to the summer transfer window, missing out on two key midfield targets. Elliot Anderson joined Manchester City for £116m, and Mateus Fernandes moved to Tottenham for £85m, both players United had pursued.
On the outgoing front, Casemiro and Jadon Sancho have departed as free agents. Rasmus Hojlund's £38m transfer to Napoli was confirmed in May. An agreement for Atalanta midfielder Ederson, valued at £35m, is in place, but his medical is postponed until after Brazil's World Cup campaign concludes.
United is still seeking one or two more midfield options and has been linked with Bournemouth's Alex Scott and Tyler Adams, as well as Brighton's Carlos Baleba. Alex Scott is reportedly not for sale, with Bournemouth keen on a long-term contract extension.
Manchester United's struggles in securing midfield targets and the delayed arrival of Ederson could influence their squad depth and performance expectations for the upcoming season, potentially affecting early season betting markets.
