Sign in to your GiveMeSport account Manchester United are looking to be clever in the summer transfer window when it comes to their finances, and they believe they can secure a cut-price deal before the end of the month.

The Red Devils are yet to confirm a new addition since the start of the window, but there is no doubt that they are working on plenty of deals.

There is plenty of time remaining in the market for United to do business, and the World Cup is never an ideal period to make new signings.

When it comes to players competing at the summer tournament, their values can often drastically increase when announcing themselves on the biggest stage.

It's a perfect time to sell players, but maybe not the ideal moment to bring in new additions.

There is intense competition for his signature in this summer transfer window

According to a report from the Manchester Evening News, Manchester United are playing it cool with their pursuit of West Ham midfielder Mateus Fernandes in the summer transfer window.

The Hammers need cash before June 30th to balance the books and avoid breaching financial regulations. United are hoping that their asking price could drop in the final days of the month.

West Ham are believed to be demanding in the region of £80 million for the Portuguese midfielder, but United are hoping that price tag drops in the coming days.

United do need to be wary of the interest from Tottenham, which could see a bidding war take place, which would be ideal for West Ham.

Manchester United are pushing to secure the signature of Fernandes in the summer transfer window, but they do face serious competition for his signature.

Tottenham are also actively in the race to sign him, with reports suggesting that personal terms are close to being agreed, and they are confident of bringing him to North London.

United do have the advantage of playing in the Champions League over Tottenham ahead of next season, but there's a chance he may want to remain in London.

Fernandes, described as 'elite', has lived down south since moving to England, playing for Southampton before his move to West Ham.
