Yesterday marked the final day from which player sales would be allocated to 2023-24 accounts in the need to comply with Profit and Sustainability guidelines. As such, it presented a mini transfer deadline day. But there are still another nine weeks left of the summer transfer window itself which closes three weeks after the start of the new 2024-25 Championship campaign.
In the meantime, another big date presents itself this week and, here, we run through the next key events in the build up to United’s new promotion push and the season itself.
