00:00 So, Michael, as we're catching up again, just give me a little transfer round-up on Man United.
00:05 What's the latest you can tell us?
00:08 Yeah, I mean, so we've got two in the door so far from United.
00:10 It's obviously Mason Mount wrapped up pretty early, at the start of July, and then Andrea Nanna, who was signed a couple of weeks ago.
00:18 United have agreed a fee for Raspus Hoyland from Atalanta.
00:21 We believe that transfer is going to be wrapped up probably, potentially this week, maybe.
00:25 Certainly in time for the Premier League season to get underway. Obviously, United get to play on the Monday, so they've got a little bit of extra time in that regard.
00:34 But yeah, I think it's an interesting signing for United for a number of reasons.
00:37 I think that obviously they are in desperate need of a new centre-forward and Hoyland comes in and fills that void.
00:46 But obviously, there's a bit of a risk there that he is such an inexperienced striker who's cost a lot of money and they're going to need him really to hit the ground running.
00:53 So, yeah, so that's, we're going to have three in by the end of this week.
00:56 I think, attention will pretty quickly turn to him if we learn.
01:00 Sofren Amrabat of Fiorentina is the man who has been identified as potentially an ex-signing.
01:06 I do suspect that one will get over the line and he will be a United player.
01:11 Later in the window, might even be a couple of weeks potentially in that one.
01:13 I don't think United have really reached out to Fiorentina at this stage.
01:18 So, yeah, that's what we're looking at the moment.
01:20 It wouldn't surprise me if they do make another sign of a tizzy later in the window, perhaps another striker, just to offer a little bit more options.
01:28 But as I've been saying, kind of all window with United, a lot of it does depend on players who leave.
01:33 The likes of Fred, Eric Bailly, we're expecting to leave soon.
01:37 Dean Henderson as well, although there obviously is a bit of confusion about Forrest at the moment being linked with the Arsenal goalkeeper, Matt Turner as well.
01:47 Danny Van de Beek is another one that we suspect in the next couple of weeks will leave.
01:50 But there's other players in United willing to let go.
01:53 Harry Maguire, I'm trying to think off the top of my head, Martial, Scott McTominay.
01:59 Yeah, there's quite a few.
02:01 We've obviously seen Anthony Allain got already leave as well, which we did touch on last week.
02:04 So, yeah, plenty going on.
02:05 And, yeah, by the time we speak next week, they'll be quite a bit moved on already.
