Erik ten Hag expects the signings of Antony and Martin Dubravka to be Manchester United’s final incomings of the transfer window.

United confirmed a €100m agreement with Ajax for Antony on Tuesday and set to complete the loan signing of back-up goalkeeper Dubravka from Newcastle United before Thursday’s deadline.

Ten Hag is also understood to be interested in adding depth to United’s squad at right-back, particularly if Aaron Wan-Bissaka leaves Old Trafford, with Barcelona’s Sergino Dest monitored as a target.

The United manager suggested that any further signings are unlikely, however, and that Wan-Bissaka is likely to stay beyond the end of the window.

When asked whether Antony and Dubravka’s arrivals would mark the end of United’s business, Ten Hag said: “I think so, it will be for this window the end, but when there is great opportunity we always have to be alert at this top club.”

On Wan-Bissaka, he added: “Of course, Aaron will stay in. So this squad, we will go from September to minimum January but we will play with this squad this season.”
