It is now just eight weeks until the Premier League transfer window closes and Simon Peach has taken a look at the club's plans and the work required. What business do United want to get done? While the search continues for a technical director reporting to executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward, the club are in numerous discussions regarding potential transfers.
