Manchester United are about to enter the final week of the transfer window and there are still plenty of deals to be done.

The most pressing issue for Ten Hag is to resolve his side’s balance in midfield. United are understood to be considering a move for Bayern Munich's Ryan Gravenberch, who previously worked with the manager at Ajax.

Goalkeeper is another area of the side that could be addressed before the September 1 deadline. While Andre Onana has already settled well into his role as United’s number one, the competition behind the Cameroon international is more of a concern.
Tom Heaton was initially used as the team’s second-choice but an injury to the experienced ‘keeper has seen Dean Henderson return to the fold.
