Transfer news as Man Utd deal confirmed and Liverpool agree terms

The new Premier League season is finally underway, with all 20 clubs kicking off the 2026/27 campaign this weekend. There have already been a few shock results, including Manchester United's defeat to newly-promoted Hull City in the early kick-off on Saturday. While the on-pitch action has returned, there is also plenty happening off the field with just 11 days until the transfer window slams shut.

United are thought to be keen on adding another midfielder, with Carlos Baleba having reportedly emerged as their target of choice. Liverpool have also been tipped to strengthen in the final days of the window, while Arsenal have exploded into life in recent weeks and could still make a statement signing in the form of Atletico Madrid forward Julian Alvarez.

Liverpool will hold another round of talks with Brighton regarding a potential move for Yankuba Minteh, according to Ben Jacobs.
