While United anticipate outgoings in the remainder of the window, their available budget under PSR has been aided so far by the construction of their three big deals so far - Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbuemo, Benjamin Sesko - and how much has been paid in first instalments.

Manchester United are interested in Brighton's Carlos Baleba, and are reportedly making contact to see if a deal can be done to reduce his significant asking price - and some fans in the Manchester Evening News comments section say that paying the price would be worth it, pointing to Premier League rivals as proof.

Baleba is believed to be Man United's number one target in the remainder of the transfer window, with Red Devils head coach Ruben Amorim determined to boost his midfield department. The speculation surrounding a potential move for Baleba continues to gather pace, with the Cameroon international said to be open to making the move to Old Trafford.
