Manchester United are linked with a new player almost every day it seems, with fresh reports regularly emerging about potential signings.
While most tend to be impractical and unfeasible, it’s worth considering the Red Devils bragged of scouting 806 right-backs before signing Aaron Wan-Bissaka in 2019, so there’s every chance the club are ‘monitoring’ or ‘tracking’ a player even if it’s unlikely they’ll end up at Old Trafford.
So far this window, United have been linked with over 100 players, as per United Muppetiers, with several of those reported pursuits already dead in the water.
Darwin Nunez joined Liverpool, Erling Haaland ended up at Manchester City, soon to be followed by Kalvin Phillips, while Yves Bissouma and Antonio Rudiger also moved elsewhere.
Now it’s Frenkie De Jong, Christian Eriksen and Antony who are dominating the Red Devils’ transfer headlines as the club return to pre-season training.

5. Tyrell Malacia- Possibly
The left-back had seemed set for a move to Lyon last week, but it now appears United will battle to secure his signature.
6. Lisandro Martinez- Possibly
Reports earlier this week claimed Arsenal were in the driving seat to complete a move, although United could go back in for the Argentine.
7. Matthijs De Ligt- Unlikely
Chelsea seems a much more likely destination for the Juventus defender given his hefty price tag.
8. Richarlison- Unlikely
Is being linked more with Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur compared to United, unlike the early days of the window. A departure from Everton does seem likely.
