AI summary
Manchester United's summer transfer business has concluded after a £152m spending spree that brought seven new faces to Old Trafford. Andrey Santos, Karl Darlow, Youri Tielemans and Carlos Baleba (potentially rising to £70m with add-ons) formed the senior contingent, while Tynan Thompson and two other academy prospects also arrived.
A late attempt to sign Leicester's Louis Page fell short when owner Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha rejected a £15m package. Leicester manager Russell Martin praised the owner's resolve to keep the 18-year-old midfielder, calling it "a brilliant thing" for the club. Manager Michael Carrick expressed contentment with the squad's current state, saying the group is "in a good place" despite the unsuccessful pursuit of additional reinforcements.
