    Sheffield Wednesday have signed defender Harry Amass on loan from Manchester United until January.

    Amass made his Premier League debut on his 18th birthday in March and has gone on to make seven senior appearances for the Premier League side.

    The teenager has been training with England's under-19 squad ahead of games against Ukraine, Spain and Netherlands this month and he will join the Owls following the international break.

    Amass began his career at Watford before joining the Red Devils in 2023.

  2. 'Look at the money they've lost on them' - Warnock on exitspublished at 19:16 BST 1 September

    Ex-England player Stephen Warnock believes the arrivals at Manchester United this summer go some way to mitigating the losses incurred on big-money signings Rasmus Hojlund and Antony.

    The forward duo departed United on deadline day after the arrivals of Benjamin Sesko, Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo during the summer revamped Ruben Amorim's attack.

    Nevertheless, United have made significant losses on two players who arrived for huge figures in previous summers.

    "With the deals for Antony and Hojlund you can only look at the money they've lost on them," Warnock told BBC Sport's Transfer Deadline Day Special.

    "But then look at the players that they've bought in. I like Mbeumo - I think he's a good player.

    "On a whole it's looking OK for United."

  3. Hojlund seals Napoli loanpublished at 18:51 BST 1 September

    Rasmus Hojlund has completed a loan move to Serie A champions Napoli for the 2025-26 season.

    United have agreed a deal that would see the Denmark international make the move a permanent £38m transfer if certain conditions are met, including the Italian giants qualifying for the Champions League.

    Last month, Hojlund expressed a strong desire to remain at United but he has since been left out of all four competitive games so far this season.

    Hojlund scored four league goals for United last season and has been pushed down the pecking order by summer signings Benjamin Sesko, Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo.

    What do you make of the move?

    Should United have kept hold of him?

    Or are they right to cut their losses at this stage?

    Manchester United youngster Ethan Ennis has completed a season-long loan move to Fleetwood Town in League Two.

    Ennis was among the players to be left out of United's 2-1 Premier League 2 victory over Manchester City at Leigh as he secures a move away from Old Trafford.

    The 20-year-old has been in excellent form so far this season, with Plymouth Argyle among the other clubs to have enquired about him.

    He played 17 times on loan for Doncaster Rovers last season.

  7. Lammens is a serious shot-stopperpublished at 16:03 BST 1 September

    Jordan Butler
    BBC Sport Journalist

    It is easy to see why Manchester United opted to sign Senne Lammens on pure data alone.

    The 23-year-old excelled in his first full top-flight season as Antwerp qualified for the Uefa Conference League and both his save percentage and passing accuracy were higher than that of Andre Onana in 2024-25.

    A graphic comparing the stats of Andre Onana and Senne Lammens.
Save percentage: Onana - 66.9%, Lammens - 77.4%
Passing accuracy: Onana - 69.8%, Lammens, 71.5%

    His underlying numbers are even more impressive and suggest that the Belgian can make an instant impact at Old Trafford during this campaign.

    Lammens made 173 saves last season – 20 more than any other goalkeeper in Europe's top 10 leagues, while no player across those divisions saved more penalties than his four.

    But his goals prevented total of 18.4 is outrageous. Opta calculate this number by subtracting expected goals on target from goals conceded (excluding own goals), meaning Lammens has kept out almost 19 more goals than we would expect from an average goalkeeper. Put simply, he's a serious shot stopper.

    For context, Crystal Palace's Dean Henderson was the Premier League's most efficient last season for goals prevented with a tally of 4.4, while James Trafford kept a record equalling 29 Championship clean sheets at Burnley and his total was 12.85.

    A graphic comparing the stats of Andre Onana and Senne Lammens in the 2024-25 league season played.
Onana: 34 games, 9 clean sheets, 90 saves, 44 goals conceded, 1.5 goals prevented, and 3 errors leading to goals.
Lammens: 40 games, 10 clean sheets, 173 saves, 50 goals conceded, 18.4 goals prevented,2 errors leading to goals.

    Alejandro Garnacho says he is "proud of what he achieved" during his time at Manchester United after joining Chelsea.

    The 21 year-old made 144 appearances for the Red Devils, scoring 26 goals and providing a further 22 assists.

    "After an unforgettable five years, this special chapter in my life now comes to a close," Garnacho said on Instagram. "We have created moments that will stay with me forever, and I'm very grateful for this.

    "To the coaches, staff, and my team-mates, thank you for believing in me. Every time I wore the badge, I gave everything I had.

    "I leave proud of what we achieved together and excited for what's to come. Wishing the club nothing but success for the future, while I look forward to giving my all in the next chapter of my career."

  9. 'Not convinced Man Utd's goalkeeping situation is sorted out just yet'published at 14:32 BST 1 September

    I am not convinced Manchester United's goalkeeping situation is quite sorted out just yet.

    While United sources have previously said it was not inconceivable they could add a fourth experienced keeper to Ruben Amorim's squad with no-one leaving, it doesn't fit with the head coach's stated desire to have a small squad.

    Yes, Andre Onana may leave for the Africa Cup of Nations, but that is just for a matter of weeks - and if he isn't playing, how realistic is it the former Inter Milan man gets picked anyway?

    Altay Bayindir has played in all three Premier League games this season but hasn't convinced.

    Tom Heaton signed a new contract in the summer and is very much viewed as a back-up.

    No-one knows at this stage who will be in goal for United's trip to City for the first Manchester derby of the season on 14 September.

  10. Lammens a 'positive signing' or 'disaster decision'?published at 13:49 BST 1 September

    We asked for your thoughts on Manchester United opting to sign Belgian goalkeeper Senne Lammens instead of a rumoured move for Aston Villa's Emiliano Martinez.

    Here are some of your comments:

    Graham: A good deal - he is young with great potential. Martinez's best days are behind him.

    Sam: The most underwhelming transfer in history. We could have had a World Cup-winning goalkeeper but instead we get an unproven 23-year-old who will probably show the same lack of confidence as our current options.

    Adam: Good positive signing on the final day of the window. We needed another keeper and we just have to hope Lammens proves to be a safe pair of hands. I'm glad we didn't sign Martinez after he embarrassed himself with the World Cup trophy.

    Matthew: It's another high risk move from Ineos. They are focusing on youth over experience and yet we need immediate results. They did not show patience with the likes of Rasmus Hojlund, I'm not sure we can afford to wait for a goalkeeper to develop as well.

    John: The Lammens deal is the right approach. He's the polar opposite to Andre Onana. A huge shot-stopper who is aggressive in the box. and a penalty save expert. Massive potential. Martinez is a loose cannon, makes big mistakes and is the wrong age profile to bring into United.

    Joe: A disaster of a decision. Can most fans even say they have ever heard of Lammens? No caps for his country and zero experience in a big league. He may well be 'the next Thibaut Courtois' but it's more likely he'll be yet another failure to see their career die at Old Trafford. Such is our track record with signing players over the last decade.

    Kev: Anything is better than our current goalkeepers, John O'Shea was a better keeper than these two.

  11. United agree deal for Lammens - what do you think?published at 12:28 BST 1 September

    Manchester United have agreed a deal to sign Belgian goalkeeper Senne Lammens from Royal Antwerp for an initial 21m euros (£18.1m) plus add-ons.

    It brings to an end United's interest in Aston Villa's number one Emi Martinez.

    The Belgian is to sign on a five-year-deal.

    Is he the answer to United's goalkeeping concerns? Or would you have preferred Martinez?

  12. Why Martinez move makes sense for Man Utdpublished at 11:37 BST 1 September

    The social media videos doing the rounds on Emi Martinez's mistakes are missing the point around why Manchester United are considering signing the Aston Villa goalkeeper.

    The problem at United is not mistakes - they realise every goalkeeper makes them. The problem is the impact they are having.

    Altay Bayindir and Andre Onana both seem to be struggling with the weight of the criticism being directed at them.

    United staff are also aware their other target, 23-year-old Royal Antwerp goalkeeper Sanne Lammens, is untested at the highest level.

    Martinez has vast experience. Crucially, he also has the kind of personality that means he will not be affected by external noise. Indeed, he has given the impression of thriving on it.

    Edwin van der Sar was 34 when Sir Alex Ferguson signed him. That proved to be a masterstroke.

    Martinez is 32.

    On getting his first Premier League goal: I am very happy. It is important to get confidence as a striker with goals, so I am really happy.

    On the loss at Grimsby: "We need to go forward. In sport there can be high and low moments, so we need to not think about the past and keep going.

    On Ruben Amorim: "We are all a team. It is not down to one person. Everyone brought a lot [against Burnley] and we are all very happy."

    Manchester United midfielder Kobbie Mainoo seems unlikely to get his desired loan move before the transfer window closes later on Monday.

    Mainoo wants the opportunity to spend the season away from Old Trafford because he fears his time on the pitch will be limited after head coach Ruben Amorim said he was in competition for a start with captain Bruno Fernandes.

    The 20-year-old is eager to maximise his chances of making Thomas Tuchel's World Cup squad after starring in England's run to the Euro 2024 final.

    Amorim said on Friday he wanted Mainoo to stay at Old Trafford and those views have only strengthened since Saturday, when both Matheus Cunha and Mason Mount suffered injuries.

    While the extent of the respective problems is not known, even sources close to Mainoo understand the potential for a deal is slim.

    Numerous clubs are interested in Mainoo, with a switch to Serie A thought to be the easiest to complete at this late stage in the window.

    We asked for your views on what is still needed by Manchester United on transfer deadline day.

    Here are some of your comments:

    Shaun: The signings in the forward position have been a needed strengthening. However, the same glaring weaknesses are showing. We need desperately a new goalkeeper, right wing-back and a ball-winning midfielder.

    James: We need a goalkeeper. Whether it's Donnarumma, Lammens or Martinez - at this point I don't care and they can't be picky. That's the most urgent position. A midfielder would be nice for depth too but they're at a premium right now. United don't have crazy cash to spend and don't have time to thrash out a tough deal so go with what's available: goalkeepers.

    Kevin: It would be great for both a midfielder and a goalkeeper, but in reality who are we going to get at the last minute? Even more crucial is to get the bomb squad out. Remove that toxicity and good riddance!

    Phill: We need a goalkeeper. Plenty of quality out there to choose from. This needs to be the number one priority for transfer deadline day!

    Lee: A confident GK and an established striker that can feed experience to Sesko.

    Carlos: A mobile midfielder is more important than a goalkeeper at the moment. Surely whoever is in net can't give away a goal every game? However, the way teams just waltz through our midfield is massively worrying. Casemiro is far too slow.

    Former Cameroon defender Sebastien Bassong spoke to BBC Sportsworld about Andre Onana's future at Manchester United: "He's got such a character that I wouldn't be surprised if he would stay and fight for his place. He is one of those guys with such a strong personality.

    "They're not really happy about his performances or what he's been putting in, Whether they're right or wrong, he has his own self confidence - that's not the debate, for me.

    "He can reassure people, he can make some saves and win games.

    "The beauty of football is things change overnight. At this moment of time, he's in a difficult situation. He's got to look at his contract offers and what is important for him."

    Manchester United youngster Zach Baumann is joining Norwich on a permanent deal.

    The Championship side are not paying a fee for Baumann but the deal contains a number of performance clauses which will ensure United generate a decent amount of money if the 18-year-old does well.

    Baumann has played for Ukraine at under-19 level and was a key member of United's Under-18 Premier League title-winning side.

    However, he has opted to take the opportunity to progress his career away from Old Trafford.
