Despite their effort to keep inside the Premier League’s Financial Fair Play standards, Manchester United has made a steady start to the summer window.
Mason Mount, a Chelsea and England midfielder, joined the Red Devils earlier this month in a move worth up to £60 million.
The 24-year-old was quickly followed by Inter goalkeeper Andre Onana for £47.2 million, replacing David de Gea, who left Old Trafford at the conclusion of his contract this summer after 12 years.
However, after deciding to release Burnley striker Wout Weghorst at the end of his loan spell, United have been left with Anthony Martial as their sole out-and-out center-forward option.
