With the domestic transfer window open until October 16, Premier League teams have a few more days to sign from subsequent divisions.
Manchester United were busy on the international deadline, bringing in free agent Edinson Cavani, Facundo Pellistri, Alex Telles and striking a deal for Amad Diallo, who will join in January.
It is not known with certainty if the club will be launched again by a Championship player.
What seems more likely is that United will use this time from now until next summer to line up various transfer goals in a bid to prevent a repeat of the saga in which Jadon Sancho remains a Borussia Dortmund player.
Here’s the latest Manchester United transfer summary …
Pogba has the support of the squad despite Real’s comments

Midfielder Paul Pogba maintains the support of his teammates despite stating that it would be a “dream” move to play for Real Madrid.
Pogba has been incessantly linked with a move to the Spanish giants, and with less than a year remaining on his contract with United, each passing day means that an exit from Old Trafford becomes a greater possibility.
“Yes, all footballers would like to play for Real Madrid. Maybe it’s a dream. It is a dream for me. Why not one day? Pogba is summoned at a press conference at the Clairefontaine base of the French team.
Despite these revelations and subsequent new ties to Madrid, Pogba has great support among United players, with some even believing that he is the best player the club has at its disposal, according to the Manchester Evening News.
Pogba has the option of extending his current contract with United for one year, but has not yet entered into discussions with club chiefs about a new contract.
United team upset over Romero’s treatment

The Daily Mail reports that United players are unhappy that goalkeeper Sergio Romero was denied the opportunity to join Everton on loan.
The deadline day passed not without incident for the goalkeeper, whose wife was scathing with her husband’s club on social media. Romero has been forced down the pecking order at United with the return of Dean Henderson, and he faces a prolonged stint on the sidelines.
Romero’s United colleagues have reportedly expressed dissatisfaction with the goalkeeper’s treatment.
They believe he was discounted from a last-minute loan to Premier League rival Everton, where he would have had a chance to play regular football.
United’s refusal to accept a direct loan without a fee appears to have ruined Romero’s chances of playing for the first team this season, as the Argentine has also been excluded from the Europa League squad of 25 players.

United could add another central defender in January if Ole Gunnar Solskjær’s side does not improve behind in the coming months.
ESPN reports that United could turn their attention to Manchester City target Jules Kounde, who helped Sevilla achieve Europa League glory last season.
The news comes after the club’s heaviest home loss to Tottenham Hotspur before the international break, with captain Harry Maguire currently out of shape.
Despite spending £ 80 million defending England last summer, United bosses are keen to dig into their pockets again.
Kounde, the France Under-21 international, was one of the main targets of rival City this summer, who ultimately chose Ruben Dias to complement their own defensive options.
United would be expected to move on one of the club’s current underprivileged defenders to make room for Kounde within Solskjær’s squad, with Eric Bailly, Phil Jones and Marcos Rojo at the top of the list of possible outings.
