No signings. No sales. July is here.
The window opened and United have done nothing. BBC's Simon Stone laid it out: zero signings, zero sales, and the season kicks off next month (2). Mateus Fernandes was the latest midfield target to slip away. Missed. The squad that finished third last season is the squad you have right now, minus anyone who might still leave. It is July 1 and the silence is loud.
Amorim wants Martinez at Milan
Your former manager is not done shopping in Manchester. Ruben Amorim is reportedly "crazy" about Lisandro Martinez and AC Milan have made contact about a deal (1). Martinez was a disciple of Amorim's at Sporting before joining United. That connection has not faded.
City move for Anderson, your target too
Elliot Anderson is the name. Nottingham Forest's midfielder is a primary United target this summer, but Manchester City are now closing in on a deal (3). A double blow: City get stronger and your top midfield option goes to the other side of town.
Summerville emerges on the left
Crysencio Summerville is out of the World Cup and back in focus. Sky Sports report he is now a leading target for United's left wing, four goal contributions at the tournament caught attention (4). Michael Carrick's old position, a gap United still need to fill.
Fan reactions
Frustration is the mood. The Stone piece on United's empty window has supporters asking hard questions about what is actually happening at Old Trafford. The thread under that report is full of fans struggling to find a coherent plan. On a brighter note, the Andrea Medina signing for the women's team landed well, and a Ruud van Nistelrooy birthday post brought some warmth to the timeline.
