Manchester United's home win against premier league side Newcastle was a needed one as it ensured they did not lose grip against table toppers Manchester city.

The old trafford based club are building a squad capable of challenging for both domestic and european honours with signing for present as well as the future in mind for the club.

The change in the club's transfer policy in recent months has seen the arrivals of Amad Diallo and Facundo Pellestri who were relatively unknown but quite promising youngsters.

The Athletic has now revealed that the Old Trafford based club have submitted a £750,000 bid for three players from derby County's academy.

United have enjoyed a decent relationship with the rams in recent years and have agreed the fee, rather than letting a tribunal determine the compensation.

Although the identity of the young players is yet to be disclosed, it is thought Wayne Rooney played a vital role in convincing his former club about a deal.
