Man Utd transfer round-up: Nunez contact made as Neves hands United boost

Manchester United can now fully focus on moving forward and creating a new chapter following the conclusion of their season on Sunday and although a sixth-placed finish was far from the aim at the beginning of the season, there are certainly better things to come.
