The Red Devils are determined to improve on last season&#8217;s third-place finish and make their mark in the Champions League. Brazilian midfielder Ederson is close to completing his move to United from Atalanta, with further additions and a number of departures expected.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>With Casemiro leaving the club at the end of his contract, United are in need of reinforcements in midfield, and United are reported to be involved in a bidding war with Tottenham to sign West Ham&#8217;s Matheus Fernandes. The Portugal international is one of the players linked with a move to Old Trafford, along with Newcastle United&#8217;s Sandro Tonali. Elliott Anderson, another of United&#8217;s keenest targets, opted to join Manchester City instead.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>In terms of his departure, goalkeeper Andre Onana is set to extend his loan to Trabzonspor, with the Turkish club reportedly paying his salary and rental fee.

United agreed a deal with the Fortaleza CEIF star last September but will have to wait until July 13, when he comes of age, to officially register.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>United are moving quickly by bringing him to Manchester this weekend, along with chief scout Giuseppe Antonaccio, to begin his acclimatization and complete a medical.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>Given his young age, the Colombian, whose style of play has drawn comparisons to Chelsea&#8217;s Moises Caicedo, is seen as a promising prospect and will initially be included in United&#8217;s Under-21 squad.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>However, the possibility of some top teams being involved next season cannot be ruled out. With United in the Champions League, Carrick could potentially rotate his team significantly in the Carabao Cup.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>United have made an approach to World Cup star Felix Nmeka, according to reports from Germany. Several clubs are thought to be pursuing Borussia Dortmund&#8217;s Nmeka, who has received glowing praise for his performances in North America so far this summer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>Sky Germany claims United are looking to fend off &#8220;increasing competition&#8221; for the 25-year-old and remain undaunted by his long-term contract with Dortmund, which still has four years left and includes a \u00a375.5m buyout clause.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>Newcastle are also understood to be keen, but are reportedly seeking a lower offer, which could create an opportunity for Man United to pounce. Nmeka, the younger brother of Leeds United forward Lucas, is appealing for a move to the Premier League.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>Felix&#8217;s immediate attention will be focused on the World Cup, where Paraguay will face Germany, who finished first in Group E, in the last 32.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"whatsapp-group \">        Join us on WhatsApp for the latest Man United news<\/p>\n<p class=\"wapp-inf\">Our community members may receive special offers, promotions, and advertising from us and our partners.
