Manchester United are reportedly still interested in bringing Declan Rice to Old Trafford next summer, after they opted not to boost their midfield options.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side had a busy transfer window, as Cristiano Ronaldo, Jadon Sancho and Raphael Varane all signed for the club with United addressing gaps in their squad.
But there was no new midfield arrival, with Fred, Scott McTominay and Nemanja Matic trusted to be sufficient options for the season ahead.
