Man United latest: Path clear for £14m transfer as wonderkid makes thoughts clear Manchester United are still in the market for new signings before the transfer window shuts, despite already spending more than £80m on new first-teamers Manchester United might only have one more pre-season game to go but there's a whole lot longer when it comes to wrapping up transfers. Michael Carrick and his players will follow Wednesday's meeting with Leeds by taking on Ruben Amorim's AC Milan over the weekend. The Milan game may help United's boss gain a better idea of where his squad is strong and where it is in need of work. Carrick's team begin their Premier League season away at Hull City on August 22 and could yet have more new additions by then. Youri Tielemans and Andrey Santos have already been involved in pre-season after arriving from Aston Villa and Chelsea respectively. Karl Darlow has also joined - albeit on a free after leaving Leeds - while Tynan Thompson is the latest name to join a long list of young talent. That list could grow even longer before the window slams shut. Here are our latest lines from Old Trafford. Page favours United over Arsenal Leicester City youngster Louis Page would prefer to join Manchester United despite interest from Premier League champions Arsenal, according to The Athletic. Page secured the Championship's Apprentice of the Year award last season to add his name to a group of young talents which also contains England internationals Jude Bellingham and Lewis Cook. Page, 18, featured 18 times in the Championship last season and impressed despite Leicester suffering a shock relegation. The central midfielder came on as a substitute for the Foxes in their Carabao Cup first round fixture last weekend but that isn't necessarily a sign that he's staying for another year. Should he leave, Page would join young teammate Jeremy Monga in making the switch from League One to the Premier League. England Under-19 winger Monga, the second-youngest player in Premier League history thanks to his debut as a 15-year-old for the Foxes under Ruud van Nistelrooy, has signed for Manchester City in a deal worth £12.5million. Racing not budging on Salinas price Manchester United will have to trigger Jorge Salinas' release clause if they want to secure the Spanish left-back, according to Racing Santander's sporting director Chema Aragon. That would require paying just under £14m and gazumping fellow interested party Barcelona. Manchester United have launched their new home kit for the 2026/27 season, inspired by the club's heritage and featuring a classic polo collar with iconic adidas details. "A club has offered €14m for Jorge Salinas, and Racing have rejected it," Aragon revealed this week. "His release clause is €16 million, and the club will not budge from that figure." The 19-year-old Spaniard, who is contracted until 2029, was a regular in the starting lineup last term as Racing secured promotion back to La Liga. He appears to be a more viable option than either Lewis Hall or Myles Lewis-Skelly, both of whom have been linked at various points in the window.
