Premier League | Article posted on September 4th, 2025

Manchester United pride themselves on their size and prestige. The self-styled ‘biggest club in the world’ are quite simply used to getting what they want. But this particular transfer window didn’t go quite according to plan, as United continually lodged bids for Marouane Fellaini and Leighton Baines of Everton, seeing them rejected over and over again, before a chaotic last 24 hours of the window, during which they looked at every possible midfield avenue in Europe seemingly.

In the end, this was the Premier League champions sole signing.
