United's summer still open: two more signings after Baleba

Summer business: 'absolutely not over'

Fabrizio Romano is clear: United's summer is "absolutely not over" (1). After Carlos Baleba is wrapped up, the club plans two more signings. A left-back and a striker are the targets (1) (5). United are preparing an aggressive final move for their preferred left-back, who is reportedly desperate to join (4).

Kane has made his call

Harry Kane has reached a decision on United or Tottenham (6). The striker spoke about "that itch" to return to the Premier League (6). No deal is done, but you now know which way he is leaning.

Maguire: we can win the title

Harry Maguire is not lowering the bar under Michael Carrick. "Everyone wants to win the Premier League, of course that is going to be our aim, that's what this club demands," he said (7). United open the season Saturday away to Hull City.

Ederson speaks on collapsed move

Ederson says he still does not understand why his £65m move to United fell apart. "I honestly don't know what happened," he said (9). The deal reportedly collapsed after a failed medical (8).

Outgoings and rivals

Toby Collyer's move to West Brom looks imminent (11). Napoli are eyeing Joshua Zirkzee (2). And Manchester City have joined United in the race for Manu Kone (10).
