Manchester United are working to boost their squad ahead of the 2022-23 campaign, with a number of players linked with switches to the club over the last few weeks.
The Red Devils will officially begin pre-season training later this month, and new head coach Erik ten Hag is believed to be keen to improve his defence, midfield and attack in the summer market.
Here, Sports Mole provides a transfer roundup of the biggest stories involving the 20-time English champions, who will open their pre-season against Liverpool in less than one month.

Man United have allegedly not yet made an official offer for Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong despite the recent speculation surrounding the Dutchman.
The 25-year-old continues to be heavily linked with a switch to Old Trafford, and the Red Devils are said to have made a verbal offer of €60m (£52m) plus €10m (£8.7m) in add-ons for the Netherlands international.
However, according to Sky Sports News, the 20-time English champions have not made an official bid for the midfielder, as they are currently attempting to lower Barcelona's asking price.
De Jong was a vital player for Xavi's side during the 2021-22 campaign, making 46 appearances in all competitions, but Barcelona are open to a sale due to their financial problems.
However, speaking on Tuesday evening, the former Ajax youngster said: "You are always flattered when teams show interest in you as a player. But I think I am at the biggest club in the world at the moment and feel fine there so there is no news."
MAN UNITED 'OFFER A CONTRACT TO CHRISTIAN ERIKSEN'

Man United have reportedly placed a contract offer on the table for Christian Eriksen.
The 30-year-old's deal at Brentford is due to expire at the end of June, and he has allegedly made the decision to leave the Bees this summer in search of pastures new.
The attacker impressed in the second half of the 2021-22 campaign, scoring once and providing four assists in 11 Premier League appearances for Thomas Frank's side, having arrived on a free transfer.
Tottenham Hotspur continue to be linked with a move for their former midfielder, but according to The Athletic, Man United have offered him the chance to join the 20-time English champions this summer.
New Red Devils boss Ten Hag is believed to view the Denmark international as the perfect player to help rebuild the team at Old Trafford.
MAN UNITED LEADING THE RACE FOR PORTO'S VITINHA?

Man United are reportedly at the head of the queue for Porto midfielder Vitinha, with the club identifying him as a leading summer transfer target.
The 22-year-old was a key player for the Blue and Whites last term, making 47 appearances in all competitions, contributing four goals and five assists in the process.
There is believed to be a €40m (£34.8m) release clause in his current deal, which has led to a host of speculation surrounding his future, with Real Madrid, Liverpool, Bayern Munich and Lazio all said to be interested.
However, according to Record, Man United are leading the race for the Portugal international and could activate his release clause in the coming weeks.
Vitinha represented Wolverhampton Wanderers on loan during the 2020-21 campaign, making 22 appearances, scoring once and providing one assist, but the English side decided against signing him on a permanent basis.
