Man Utd Transfer News Today: Groundwork for double signing laid with surprise deal agreed Make us your Google favourite All the latest Man Utd transfer news in one place, including updates on Lewis Hall , Louis Page and Chido Obi . Deadline Day recap The Premier League transfer window has officially closed, and it was a fairly low-key Deadline Day for Man Utd, with the club not making any signings on the final day of the window for the first time since 2019. It wasn't for a lack of trying, however. After a few weeks with no updates, Man Utd restarted talks with Leicester for Louis Page, but the two clubs could not reach an agreement as the Foxes kept raising his price tag, eventually demanding an eight-figure fee for the 18-year-old midfielder. Man Utd also made a surprising late enquiry for Man City left-back Rayan Ait-Nouri in their search for competition for Luke Shaw, but the deal was a non-starter as the Red Devils were unwilling to include a permanent element in their loan proposal. Rumours of new talks with Barcelona over Alejandro Balde turned out to be wide of the mark, meaning that Man Utd did not sign a left-back despite it being a priority for the club. In terms of outgoings, Burnley held talks over the signing of Harry Amass and Everton explored a last-minute deal for Joshua Zirkzee , but neither exit was sanctioned by Man Utd. Who did Man Utd sign in the summer window? Man Utd ended the 2026 summer transfer window with four fresh faces in the first team, three of whom are midfielders, while goalkeeper Karl Darlow controversially joined on a free transfer from hated rivals Leeds. Carlos Baleba was the most expensive signing, joining from Brighton for €75.9 million. Andrey Santos and Youri Tielemans arrived from Chelsea for €56.3m and Aston Villa for €41m, respectively. Winger Tynan Thompson joined the academy from Tottenham. Man Utd sold Rasmus Hojlund to Napoli for €44m, Radek Vitek to Middlesbrough for €8.15m and Toby Collyer to West Brom for €3.5m. Casemiro joined Inter Miami on a free transfer, while Tyler Fredricson was sent to INEOS sister club Lausanne-Sport for an undisclosed fee. Obi joins Willem II Although the English window has closed, clubs from other countries can still do business, and this is the case in the Netherlands. According to , Man Utd youngster Chido Obi will join Willem II on a straight season-long loan. There will be no purchase option or obligation, with the Red Devils still believing in his potential. The 18-year-old made a few first-team appearances under Ruben Amorim after joining from Arsenal, but he only played youth football last season and will now be allowed to get fresh senior experience in the Eredivisie. Groundwork for future deals laid Man Utd are likely to revisit deals for Leicester prospect Louis Page and Newcastle star Lewis Hall in 2027, as per . Significant groundwork for a Page deal was laid this summer despite the lack of a Deadline Day agreement, and the 18-year-old is believed to favour a move to Old Trafford over Arsenal, who also showed interest. With Newcastle making it clear that Hall would be going nowhere this summer, Man Utd refrained from signing a different left-back to leave the path clear for a future deal for the England star. They are expected to hold talks next summer, and it could be a repeat of the Baleba saga.
