Marcus Rashford moves step closer to Manchester United clarity as transfer plan takes shape

United announced the midfield signings of Andrey Santos and Youri Tielemans earlier in the week . The club plans to add a third midfield signing before the end of the window, and there is scope to spend fairly big. However, the Reds will not overspend for the sake of it. The third midfield signing must be available for a fair fee, but United are in a position to sign a high-quality player to further strengthen Michael Carrick's options. Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott and Borussia Dortmund star Felix Nmecha are two players on the club's radar. Roma midfielder Manu Kone has also been linked with a move to Old Trafford . United have considered their options to strengthen the left side of the squad. They have looked at left-backs and left wingers, but whether they sign a player for the latter role could depend on Marcus Rashford's future.
