Here, we take a closer look at the four key transfers that could come to fruition in the weeks ahead, should United show the requisite ambition in the market.Mateus Fernandes - $105.6MMateus Fernandes is arguably the most coveted of West Ham's discounted assets this summer.

However, that is precisely where negotiations over Fernandes have hit a stumbling block, with reports suggesting United are unwilling to meet his £80m valuation.The latest reports indicate United and Fernandes, who is also being monitored by Tottenham, have already reached agreement on personal terms.
