Manchester United vs Ipswich pre-match centre

Ipswich Town have signed Argentina World Cup winner Exequiel Palacios from Bayer Leverkusen on a four-year deal, the headline arrival in a £150m summer spend that signals genuine top-flight ambition rather than survival mode.

Manchester United are in talks with Fiorentina over a season-long loan for Joshua Zirkzee, with an option to buy next summer, as the club effectively concede their £36.5m signing has failed to work under Ruben Amorim.

Manchester United have signed Carlos Baleba from Brighton for £70m, their third midfield addition of a £153m summer, days after a 2-0 opening-day defeat at Hull City exposed the exact physicality problem he's meant to solve.

Manchester United have agreed a fee of up to £70m for Brighton's Carlos Baleba, their third midfield signing of the summer after Andrey Santos and Youri Tielemans. The deal underlines United's spending power but raises fresh questions about squad clarity, while Brighton extend their record as the Premier League's smartest sellers.

Liam Delap has been frozen out at Chelsea just 14 months after his £30m arrival from Ipswich, but a £50m asking price is putting off suitors like Leeds and Nottingham Forest. This is a story of transfer market inflation and chaotic squad management as much as one player's struggles.
