Man Utd fans go into meltdown after seeing the club 'leak' transfer plans in new video
Manchester United supporters think more signings could be on the way after spotting a detail in a video released by the club on Friday.
Ruben Amorim has already bolstered his squad by signing Matheus Cunha from Wolves, Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford, Diego Leon from Cerro Porteno, as well as agreeing a deal to sign RB Leipzig forward Benjamin Sesko.
United will play their final pre-season fixture at Old Trafford against Fiorentina on Saturday before they prepare for the visit of Arsenal in the Premier League on August 17.
And despite their summer spending being set to rise to around £214m once the Sesko deal is completed, some supporters think more arrivals can still happen before the end of the summer transfer window on September 1.

Just last week, captain Bruno Fernandes said his club need to add "one or two players more" to their squad.
Fernandes said: “It was crystal clear we needed more competition for the players that were here, more quality to get everyone to step up a little more to get to the XI, and I think that is what the club are trying to do. Hopefully, we can get one or two players more players to help with that.”
And the United skipper may be set to get his wish, if a video released by the club is anything to go by.
On Friday, a video was posted to United’s official social media channels which detailed the updates added to the newly refurbished Carrington training base.
The nearly three-minute-long video explained the thinking, planning and design behind the revamped environment.
However, fans noticed something which they believe suggests new signings are on the way.
Around one minute and 20 seconds into the video, the camera panned to the dressing room, which has players’ names and numbers emblazoned on an electronic sign above each seat. However, three spaces were without an assigned player.
And fans were quick to give their thoughts on social media.
One said: "A few spaces in Mufc's new first-team dressing room at Carrington are yet to be filled."
Another added: “More signings then.”
A third explained: “I see Antony and Garnacho Interesting.”
According to the club's website, redevelopment of the men’s team building follows the construction of a new £10 million building for the women’s first team and men's academy in 2024. The total cost of the work is reportedly around £60m.
