    After recording a goal difference of -10 in the Premier League last season, Manchester United had no choice but to prioritise strengthening their attack this summer. After wrapping up the signing of Matheus Cunha from Wolves for ยฃ62.5million just over a fortnight ago, United are now closing in on the signing of Brentford ace Bryan Mbeumo for a fee in excess of ยฃ60m. Should United add Mbeumo to Ruben Amorim's pool of attacking options, he will become their second statement signing of the summer.

    It is easy to understand why Manchester United were attracted to Liam Delap ahead of the start of this summer's transfer window. The England Under-21 international was available via a ยฃ30million release clause this summer after his first season at Ipswich Town ended in relegation to the Championship.

One of the very best midfielders I have ever seen in a Sheffield Wednesday shirt. Arguably the best passer of a ball Iโ€™ve seen. He made everything look so effortless. A very classy player. #SWFC
