The transfer window could be about to heat up, and Manchester United fans are eagerly anticipating more news on incoming players in the coming days.
Joshua Zirkzee Joins Manchester United as First Summer Signing
Joshua Zirkzee became United’s first summer signing over the weekend, joining from Serie A side Bologna.
The Dutch striker will soon link up with his new teammates as pre-season is now underway.
United began their friendly matches with a 1-0 defeat against Rosenborg on Monday night. They will be back in action on Saturday against Rangers.
There is a chance that more signings could be completed by the time that match takes place.
Leny Yoro Set to Finalize Move to Manchester United
One such signing is defender Leny Yoro. United have had a bid accepted, and the player has agreed to join the club.
Work will continue behind the scenes to strengthen the squad before next month’s deadline day.
Yoro is expected to finalize his move today.
According to Sky Sports, Leny Yoro will complete his transfer to United today (Thursday). The defender, who is set to join from Lille, had his medical yesterday after agreeing to move to Old Trafford.
The report suggests that a formal announcement confirming his arrival could be made within the next 24 hours.

Leny Yoro’s impending arrival at Manchester United has raised questions about Matthijs De Ligt’s expected transfer.
While Yoro is set to sign within 24 hours, a fee with Bayern Munich for De Ligt is yet to be agreed upon.
United is also monitoring Everton’s Jarrad Branthwaite, making De Ligt’s transfer uncertain. Yoro’s move, costing around £52 million, could significantly impact manager Erik ten Hag’s transfer budget.
Mason Greenwood Closes in on Marseille Transfer
Mason Greenwood has arrived in France after Marseille arranged a private jet for him to finalize his transfer.
Greenwood, 22, is set to complete his exit from Manchester United in a deal potentially worth over £30 million.
Marseille will pay an initial £27 million plus £3.2 million in add-ons, with United also securing a 50 percent sell-on clause.
SunSport understands that Greenwood boarded a private jet booked by Marseille, which took off from Manchester Airport at 8:22 PM and will land in Marseille around 11:00 PM local time.
Barring any last-minute issues, the attacker will join Roberto De Zerbi’s squad.
Manchester United Put De Ligt Deal on Hold to Focus on Yoro
According to GiveMeSport, Manchester United have put their pursuit of Bayern Munich centre-back Matthijs de Ligt ‘on hold’ to focus on signing Leny Yoro.
United are close to finalizing the Lille defender’s transfer after he underwent a medical at Old Trafford on Wednesday.
United had made progress with De Ligt, agreeing on personal terms with the Netherlands international.
However, the move was reportedly paused to concentrate on Yoro’s acquisition. Despite this, United remain eager to add another centre-back in addition to Yoro.
