MANCHESTER UNITED

United have made some excellent signings, bringing in the young talents of Memphis, Martial, Darmian and Schneiderlin coupled with the experience of Schweinsteiger. But they managed to alienate and then fail to sell David De Gea and have left the struggling Wayne Rooney horribly exposed with only Martial as any real back-up. Another centre-back was also required and they never signed their world-beater despite trawling Europe for one so, despite spending nine figures, they are still left with real weak points in their squad. Another up and down window for Ed Woodward, to put it kindly.

Ins: Morgan Schneiderlin (Southampton), Memphis Depay (PSV), Bastian Schweinsteiger (Bayern Munich), Matteo Darmian (Torino), Sergio Romero (Sampdoria), Anthony Martial (Monaco)

Outs : Tom Cleverley (Everton), Ben Amos (Bolton), Tom Thorpe (Rotherham), Saidy Janko (Celtic), Nani (Fenerbahce), Will Keane (Preston, loan), Robin van Persie (Fenerbahce), Angel Di María (Paris St-Germain), Javier Hernandez (Bayer Leverkusen), Jonny Evans (West Brom), Adnan Januzaj (Borussia Dortmund, loan), Anders Lindegaard (West Brom), Rafael (Lyon), Tyler Blackett (Celtic, loan)
