Manchester United have added two attacking signings this summer, but are being linked with another as Marcus Rashford prepares to leave.
This week could prove to be vital as Ruben Amorim shakes up his attacking options at Manchester United.
Bryan Mbeumo has finally signed for United, completing his long-awaited move from Brentford on Monday night.
United are also hoping for movement in terms of outgoings this week, with Marcus Rashford poised to join Barcelona.
Juventus are chasing Jadon Sancho, and Atletico Madrid are emerging as favourites to sign Antony.
Alejandro Garnacho’s future remains unclear, but United will hope to move these unwanted attackers out – and potentially add more firepower.

The focus may turn to a centre-forward, though United won’t be signing Viktor Gyokeres as he nears a move to Arsenal.
United are still being linked with other options, though, including a player who predominantly plays as a winger.
Italian newspaper Il Resto del Carlino report that United are still in the hunt for Bologna winger Dan Ndoye.
Ndoye was linked with United last summer and speculation has continued ever since, with reports as recently as April suggesting that United still fancy the Swiss winger.
Ndoye has already played for two Ineos clubs, having previously turned out for Lausanne-Sport and OGC Nice.
Now shining in Italy, Ndoye is on United’s radar, and it’s claimed that United could make an offer ‘in the next few hours’.
An offer of around €40million to €45million (£34.7million to £39million) could arrive, with Bologna seeking up to €50million (£43million) for Ndoye.
Nottingham Forest have made an offer, but haven’t reached Bologna’s asking price as they seek to sign a new winger following Anthony Elanga’s move to Newcastle United.
The report even claims that Ndoye has already spoken to United striker Joshua Zirkzee to discuss a potential move to Old Trafford.
Ndoye and Zirkzee played together at Bologna, and the Italian media believe that a reunion could be in the pipeline.
Dan Ndoye to Manchester United doesn’t add up… yet
Ndoye impressed with nine goals and six assists for Bologna last season, and has shown real pace to attack defenders down the right flank.
Rumours around Ndoye to United have been rife for so long that we don’t doubt there is some level of interest, but an offer this week would be a surprise.
United have just haggled over signing Mbeumo for weeks, and a swift bid for Ndoye, before even officially offloading other attackers, just doesn’t seem likely.
We would make Ndoye one to watch for later in the window if a deal hasn’t been struck elsewhere, but wouldn’t expect to see him holding up a United shirt any time soon.
