Manchester United have started their summer transfer business by signing Dutch attacker Joshua Zirkzee.
He becomes the club’s first signing in the INEOS era and more signings are set to arrive at the club soon.
The Red Devils are currently in negotiations with Bayern Munich to sign defender Matthijs de Ligt and he could be the next one coming in at the club.
However, the Premier League giants are also focusing on increasing their options in the left-back position.
