Bengaluru, Sept. 2: After finishing second in the Premier League last season and runners-up in the Europa League, Manchester United needed a further push in the transfer market.
The management certainly has supported the manager in that aspect this summer.

The Red Devils have bolstered their side for a push towards honours in the forthcoming campaign with four significant investments, bringing in world-class talent both in defence and attack.

The first signing of the summer was goalkeeper Tom Heaton on a free transfer from Burnley who is likely to be the third choice behind David De Gea and Dean Henderson in the current roster. The next two major signings were Jadon Sancho from Borussia Dortmund and Raphael Varane from Real Madrid.

Sancho was linked with United for the last one year and finally, a resolution was reached this summer with a £73million deal. Varane on the other hand was captured for a comparatively modest fee as the Red Devils secured the four-times Champions League winner for just £34m.

On top of that, the club announced the signing of five-time Ballon D'or winner Cristiano Ronaldo from Juventus, who comes back after leaving 12-years-ago.

In terms of departure, several United players were linked to a potential permanent exit. But only managed to ship off winger Daniel James who signed for rivals Leeds United on deadline day for £25m while other notable loan departures were James Garner, Brandon Williams and Facundo Pellestri.

All in all, United has completed 28 deals throughout the transfer window, including five incoming signings, one first-team exit while the other majority of departures have been loan deals.
