Who could be the major ins and outs, how much does Ruben Amorim have to spend and what's the club's PSR position?

United saw their opening offer of £45million – plus £10m add-ons – for Mbeumo rejected out of hand by Brentford and discussions are ongoing over a proposed switch to Old Trafford, with the transfer window open once again.
