United head coach Eddie Howe, in Saudi Arabia with his squad for a week-long training camp, had earlier said that there was “no news” on the transfer front.

Howe said: “A lot of hard work being done back in England. I’ve got no news to tell anyone at the moment. As we know, it’s a difficult window. We just hope we can get a couple more additions to boost the squad.”
