Negotiations are underway regarding Charlie Cresswell, with Man Utd keen to finalise a deal with Toulouse as they look to strengthen their squad for the run-in.

Whether a deal can be struck remains to be seen, but there is increasing optimism that the transfer could go through in the coming days. While Man Utd and Toulouse continue talks, no breakthrough has been reported. Crystal Palace, Brighton and Chelsea reportedly may still have an interest, but currently the focus is on getting this deal across the line. Defensively, Man Utd are sitting around the league average this season, at 1.39 goals conceded per game.
