3 Transfers Manchester United Might Complete This Week

It is just two weeks before the close of the transfer window as the new premier league rules state that the summer transfer window will close before the start of the season. All the clubs are looking to finalize their transfer dealing and it is going to be a very busy few days ahead in the premier league.

Manchester United are also not an exception from that as recent comments from Mourinho suggests that fans can surely expect new signings as well as a few departures in the coming weeks. Here are three transfers that will be completed by Man Utd in the coming week, according to recent reports.

#3 Matteo Darmian

Napoli have made a formal approach for Matteo Darmian

Rumours in the Italian and English media have linked Darmian with a move away from Manchester United. Many Italian clubs are interested in the right back, as Juventus, Inter, and Milan were all recently linked with him.

Inter Milan have rubbished those reports as they are on the verge of sealing a move for Sime Vrsaljko from Atletico Madrid, Juventus also have signed Joao Cancelo as their preferred right back for next season and Milan have also signed Ivan Stanic long before the World cup.

It seemed as though Darmian was out of options and with injuries to Valencia and Dalot, he remains Man Utd's only experienced, first -choice right back with the current squad. He was set to stay at Old Trafford for at least 6 months till the winter transfer window, but a new name has been introduced into the mix. Goal reports that Napoli have made a formal offer for the Italian right back. He now is bound for an Old Trafford exit and that deal could happen as soon as this week.

#2 Marcos Rojo

Everton are favourites to land Marcos Rojo

Mourinho is not content with his current options in defence and wants to add at least one new face in his ranks in defence. He has earmarked two defenders who he is willing to let go in order to bring in that one defender and the names that are in question are Marcos Rojo and Matteo Darmian.

Recent reports suggest that Everton are really interested in the Argentinian defender who can play centre-back as well as left back. He was brought to the club by Louis Van Gaal during his first season in charge of the club for a fee in the region of £20 million. Given the current rates at which players are being transferred, Man Utd can surely expect to receive a fee in excess of £25 million.

#1 Toby Alderweireld

Man Utd and Tottenham are close to agreeing to a deal for Alderweireld

With two defenders on the verge of leaving Manchester United, it only makes sense to bring in a new defender who can freshen things up at the back. Mourinho has long wanted a rock-solid centre-back to partner Eric Bailly. Tottenham Hotspurs defender, Toby Alderweireld is his preferred choice.

Reports suggested that Mourinho was in a dilemma as to choose whether he wanted Maguire or Alderweireld. But now with Maguire potentially priced out of a deal, Alderweireld is the more experienced and sensible option. Reports have also suggested that the fee in question is in the region of £50 million.

Manchester United have already negotiated deals for Darmian and Rojo, but neither of these two defenders will leave the club until the Belgian defender signs.
