Manchester United remain active in the transfer window and could make several dream signings before deadline day on September 1\"Manchester<\/p>\n

Manchester United have brought in several new signings but Michael Carrick\u2019s<\/a> side remain busy in the transfer market. As August begins, the club have one month left to reshape their squad.<\/p>\n

Midfield remains a priority, despite the arrivals of Youri Tielemans and Andrey Santos. United<\/a> have been linked with several options but the manager may look to make a statement signing in the middle of the pitch, which would reaffirm the club\u2019s ambitions to compete on multiple fronts next season.<\/p>\n

Up front, Benjamin Sesko needs senior competition, with forward Joshua Zirkzee among several players who could leave Old Trafford this summer. Meanwhile, United could choose to invest in their long-term future by testing Newcastle\u2019s resolve over left-back Lewis Hall. Here, MEN Sport looks at what a dream end to the transfer window could look like for the Reds.<\/p>\n

\u00a385m midfielder signs<\/p>\n

Aurelien Tchouameni joining from Real Madrid would represent United making a marquee signing towards the end of the window. The Reds resisted paying eye-watering fees for the likes of Elliot Anderson, Sandro Tonali and Mateus Fernandes earlier in the window, but stumping up a big-money free for Tchouameni would underline the club\u2019s ambitions.<\/p>\n

The 26-year-old would be a dream addition to Carrick\u2019s new-look midfield<\/a> as the United boss recalibrates his team following Casemiro\u2019s exit. It has previously been reported that Real Madrid would demand around \u00a385m for Tchouameni<\/a> as the France international recently signed a contract extension with Los Blancos.<\/p>\n

However, the Spanish giants are interested in Manchester City\u2019s Rodri<\/a>, which could tempt Tchouameni to consider his future elsewhere. It would give Carrick an enviable array of midfield options, with Tielemans, Santos and Kobbie Mainoo all jostling for places in the United side.<\/p>\n

Lewis Hall deal<\/p>\n

United are interested in Newcastle left-back Lewis Hall<\/a> and would sign Luke Shaw\u2019s long-term successor this summer, in a dream scenario. The 21-year-old has impressed during his time with the Magpies, who have already shown a willingness to part with key players through the sales of Anthony Gordon and Tonali.<\/p>\n

The England international is reportedly open to joining the Reds<\/a>. However, Newcastle are claimed to be reluctant to sell another star player, meaning United may have to pay a sizeable amount for the defender, who left Chelsea for \u00a335m in 2023.<\/p>\n

United relied on Shaw throughout last season but will have concerns about the experienced full-back remaining fit during the upcoming campaign, while Patrick Dorgu looked improved when moved to a more attacking role on the left flank. Signing Hall would allow United to start their left-back succession plan early, even if the young defender did cost a premium fee.<\/p>\n

New striker joins<\/p>\n

Benjamin Sesko\u2019s absence from United\u2019s early pre-season games has highlighted the club\u2019s need to sign a striker before the end of the summer window. Joshua Zirkzee has led the line for Carrick\u2019s side but has struggled to make his mark since arriving from Bologna in 2024, prompting links with a potential \u00a330m move back to Serie A<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While Sesko thrived after Carrick took the reins at United, it took time for the Slovenian striker to earn his place in the starting XI. The 23-year-old is still learning his trade and should not be the club\u2019s only senior striker as United prepare to return to the Champions League and look to build on their third-place finish in the Premier League.<\/p>\n

Dusan Vlahovic is one of several strikers to be linked with the Reds<\/a> but could provide an ideal solution to United\u2019s problem. The 26-year-old is available as a free agent after leaving Juventus this summer, where he scored 68 goals in 168 appearances.<\/p>\n

An expensive signing would possibly derail Sesko\u2019s progress under Carrick and prevent him from reaching his potential. However, the former RB Leipzig could improve from competing alongside Vlahovic, who would also be given opportunities to stake his claim as a rotational option for United.<\/p>\n
