According to the Daily Mail, it has been a frustrating start to the transfer window for the Red Devils as they have been forced to watch a number of their rivals reinforce their squads in recent weeks.

Man United closing in on Tyrell Malacia deal

Metro UK reports that United hijacked Lyon’s deal for Malacia last week, with the defender, reportedly, informing the Ligue 1 side that he wanted to move to join the Red Devils.

It is understood the Feyenoord star will complete the final stages of his Old Trafford deal on Monday, July 4, with the transfer to be officially announced afterwards.

The 22-year-old is expected to challenge England international Luke Shaw for a starting berth at left-back from next season.

Meanwhile, Malacia's imminent arrival could spell doom for Alex Telles who could be offloaded in the coming days.

Telles only joined United in 2020 from FC Porto but has struggled to make an impact at the Theatre of Dreams.

Ex-Man United keeper wants Old Trafford return

Earlier, Sports Brief reported Sergio Romero is considering a sensational return to Manchester United this summer.

The Argentine quit the Red Devils for free about a year ago after spending six seasons with them.

His departure came after falling out of favour, with David de Gea and Dean Henderson ahead of him in the pecking order at the time.

The 35-year-old is currently a free agent once again following Venezia's relegation from Serie A.
