United host Brentford, transfer window heating up

United vs Brentford tonight

Old Trafford is the place to be tonight. United host Brentford with Chris Kavanagh officiating (1). Nothing else to add until the final whistle.

Midfield targets piling up

United are looking busy in the market. They're reportedly willing to spend 60 million euros on Orkun Kökçü, who has impressed for Beşiktaş (2). Ferdi Kadıoğlu is also on the radar after a strong season at Brighton, with a similar price tag attached (3). On top of that, United are said to be ready to make a move for Sandro Tonali from Newcastle as a direct replacement for Casemiro (5). And there's a reported "suitable offer" being prepared for an unnamed Premier League midfielder, with INEOS bracing for a "big blow" on the Elliot Anderson front (6). That's a lot of midfield noise. None of it is done.

Defensive reinforcement on the cheap

United are also tracking David Affengruber, a centre-back from Elche in LaLiga, who is reportedly planning a summer move. He's seen as a cut-price option for defensive cover (7).

Danny Welbeck return: opinion piece

One outlet is floating a Danny Welbeck return to Old Trafford as a way to support Benjamin Sesko up front next season. This is opinion, not a real transfer story. File it accordingly (4).
