Man Utd finalising permanent transfer with Middlesbrough in first of SIX deals to come

Manchester United are finalising a permanent sale to Middlesbrough, while another deal has been given Fabrizio Romano’s ‘here we go’ confirmation.

Man Utd fans are eagerly awaiting updates on which midfielder the club will sign to round out their rebuild in central areas.

Aside from adding one more midfielder, Man Utd are also in the market for a left-back. Moves for a left-winger or striker are understood to be contingent on exits for Marcus Rashford and Joshua Zirkzee respectively.

The Athletic recently named Zirkzee as one of six players the Red Devils could part ways with in the final month of the window.

The others were goalkeepers Radek Vitek and Altay Bayindir, full-back Harry Amass, midfielder Toby Collyer, and striker Ethan Wheatley.

And according to talkSPORT and Ben Jacobs, goalkeeper Vitek is now on course to join Middlesbrough in a permanent deal.
