Romano: United’s business ‘absolutely not over’, they’re already preparing for deal after Baleba is wrapped up

Fabrizio Romano has assured Manchester United fans that the club’s summer business will not conclude with the arrival of Carlos Baleba.
Instead, they are also looking at bringing in a defender and a forward.

Weighing in on the Red Devils’ situation on YouTube, Romano revealed: “Manchester United’s summer is absolutely not over.
“They are expected to do more on different targets. [A] left-back and striker are being looked at.”
In regard to who exactly they might sign, United fans are well aware that Myles Lewis-Skelly is being linked with a move to Old Trafford.
Arsenal approached Chelsea and United recently to see whether either side would be interested in buying the Englishman, despite being one of their most highly-rated youngsters.
Lewis-Skelly tipped for Arsenal departure
Lewis-Skelly leaving would generate pure profit for the Gunners, which would come as a welcome boost after shelling out £75 million on Bruno Guimaraes.
The 19-year-old is, however, keen to stay and prove himself at the Emirates, even though he was limited to just five Premier League starts last term.

INEOS would prefer to sign Lewis Hall, 21, over the Arsenal graduate, but face an uphill battle in their pursuit due to Newcastle United’s reluctance to sell.
Forward-wise, it remains to be seen where United will turn their attention.
Michael Carrick’s options have already been boosted by the return of Marcus Rashford, albeit it’s not set in stone that he stays at the club in the final fortnight of the window.
Should an offer arrive that meets United’s demands, it’s likely they would accept it in order to have his £350,000-a-week wages removed from the books.
