Paul Scholes has named his former Manchester United teammate Mark Bosnich as the club's worst-ever signing. The ex-United midfielder reflected on Bosnich’s brief stint at Old Trafford, claiming the goalkeeper failed to live up to expectations after being brought in to replace Peter Schmeichel.

Following Manchester United’s historic treble-winning season in 1999, Sir Alex Ferguson was tasked with finding a reliable successor for the legendary Schmeichel.

Ferguson turned to Bosnich, who had previously been at United in 1991 before returning to Australia due to visa issues. After establishing himself as a top Premier League goalkeeper during a successful spell at Aston Villa, Bosnich returned to United in 1999.

Even though the summer transfer window has closed, Manchester United remain the subject of transfer speculation, with rumors swirling about both potential departures and future signings. With some transfer windows still open across Europe, and clubs already planning for the January window, discussions about possible moves continue at Old Trafford.

One player linked with a potential exit is Christian Eriksen. Reports in Belgium had suggested that the Danish midfielder could make a move to Anderlecht before the Belgian transfer window closes.

Manchester United are hopeful that their injury concerns will ease over the international break, although some key players remain sidelined for the foreseeable future.

Here's the latest on the club's injury situation:

Rasmus Hojlund
Hojlund suffered a hamstring injury during a pre-season match against Arsenal in the United States, and his recovery has been progressing slowly. Initially given a six-week timeline, Erik ten Hag has indicated that while Hojlund is nearing a return, it may take time for him to regain full match fitness.
Potential return date: September 14, vs Southampton

Manchester United fans made their displeasure clear at Old Trafford after Erik ten Hag's controversial decision during their 3-0 defeat to Liverpool. With United trailing, Ten Hag opted to bring on Amad in hopes of sparking a comeback, but his choice to substitute Alejandro Garnacho was met with loud boos from the home crowd.

Garnacho, one of the few bright spots in an otherwise dismal performance, was expected by many fans to stay on the pitch. The supporters’ reaction suggested they would have preferred to see Marcus Rashford, who struggled throughout the match, make way instead. Rashford failed to trouble Liverpool's goalkeeper Alisson and was largely ineffective in the attack, leading to growing frustration among the United faithful.

Gary Neville has revealed that Sir Alex Ferguson's transfer strategy at Manchester United was built around a simple yet effective philosophy: signing the best player in the Premier League each season. This straightforward approach played a key role in consistently bringing top-tier talent to Old Trafford during Ferguson's reign.

Neville shared these insights during an episode of The Overlap, giving Jamie Carragher and Ian Wright a glimpse into Ferguson's thinking. However, replicating this strategy today might be a challenge for the club due to their reduced influence in the transfer market.

Manchester United are on the verge of completing two significant midfield transfers as they finalize deals for Manuel Ugarte and Scott McTominay. Ugarte is expected to travel to the north-west today for a medical after United agreed on a permanent transfer from Paris Saint-Germain.

Initially, a loan deal was anticipated, but the Uruguayan midfielder will now join for £42 million, with an additional £8 million in potential add-ons, marking an £8 million reduction from PSG’s original asking price.

Manchester United have reached an agreement to sign highly-rated defensive midfielder Sekou Kone from Guidars FC before the summer transfer window closes. Kone, who recently impressed for Mali at the Under-17 World Cup in December, is set to join the Premier League giants and will officially complete his transfer in the coming days.

While Erik ten Hag is actively seeking a defensive midfielder for the first team, with ongoing talks for Sporting CP's Manuel Ugarte, the immediate plan for Kone is different.

In the realm of football's grand theater, Manchester United takes center stage once again, ready to script a mesmerizing tale of ambition and persistence. Armed with an unyielding determination, they unleash an improved third bid, a lavish offering of £55 million, in their audacious pursuit of the mercurial midfielder, Mason Mount.

But alas, the football gods cast a shadow of a doubt as Chelsea, the guardians of his destiny, remain resolute in their refusal, demanding a princely sum closer to £65 million.

According to The Sun, Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea is set to sign a new long-term contract with a significant pay cut. This season, the Spain international has performed admirably in goal for United, making numerous world-class saves.

A new contract is being discussed with the club, and the board intends to offer him a renewal with significant bonuses.

Manchester United is currently chasing a goalkeeper with Crystal Palace's Jack Butland "definitely has legs," according to journalist Dean Jones.

The Red Devils are searching for a backup goalkeeper to first-choice shot-stopper David de Gea after Martin Dubravka was recalled from his loan spell early by Newcastle United. This has led to a lack of options for Erik Ten Hag at Manchester United.

Sky Sports reporter had recently reported earlier today that Butland is "close to signing" for United on a straight loan deal until the end of the season which would be a huge boost to the club. It is also claimed that Erik ten Hag's charges will pay all of the England international's £40,000-per-week wage packet and that a medical is scheduled to take place in the next 24 hours at Old Trafford.
