Manchester United

have already announced all three of their summer signings.

Head coach

Michael Carrick

will be delighted with his two new midfield recruits:

Andrey Santos

and

Youri Tielemans

, while Karl Darlow will act as Senne Lammens’ backup.

However, the Red Devils still need one more midfielder, not to mention a left winger, a backup striker and a full-back.

With just over a month left before the start of the new season, INEOS need to get a move on if they are to back Carrick to the hilt.

However,

The Sun

have some bad news on that front. They claim that the 20-time English league champions could now hit the pause button until and unless they get some player sales going.

“Senior club sources have said United could hit “pause” on incomings after the £35million signing of Tielemans is concluded and reassess their movements.

“Facilitating a transfer for

Marcus Rashford

will become a pressing matter for United after the World Cup concludes this weekend. United have not technically overseen a sale yet this summer.”

As previously relayed by

, a deal for Crysencio Summerville

depends on Marcus Rashford’s sale

. This delay has handed

AS Roma a massive lifeline

in the transfer race.

Moving the

Mancunian

on has proved difficult, with Barcelona refraining from triggering his buy option, while Bayern Munich have

stayed away due to the Englishman’s wage demands

Carrick has offered the 28-year-old the chance to return to the fold, but

both INEOS and the attacker would prefer a permanent exit

Until that happens, even a move for Lewis Hall, earmarked as Luke Shaw’s long-term successor, is

unlikely to materialise

Manuel Ugarte’s injury

has meant he is likely to stay put, which has forced United to consider surprise sales, with

Lisandro Martinez

Noussair Mazraoui

reportedly in the firing line.
