Last summer, Manchester United completed several signings during the later stages of transfer window.
Louis van Gaal arrived after the World Cup and players needed break after the competition as well hence the Red Devils were not able to gel together before the start of the season.
Hence the Red Devils are looking to secure their transfers early on this time around so that they are fully prepared before the start of new season. Van Gaal claimed last month:
“We had a lot of purchases in the last month so we had to prepare our team in the Premier League and that costs us a lot of points. Now I hope we shall finish our business much earlier,”
The first piece of key business United did was to secure deal for highly rated Memphis Depay early on.
As per the provided Manchester Evening News link, Man United are expected to officially present Memphis Depay when they visit Seattle, US for their pre-season tour in July.
The £31m star scored for fun in Dutch league last season but not many players settle immediately in the Premier League. Hence it is pivotal that Memphis Depay is settled within the United squad before the season kicks off in August.
It remains to be seen whether United can secure all their key targets before they visit Seattle. It will be a major boost for next season if they can.

I am surprise at the moves that man united are making towards buying news players to fortify the club. There are no concrete moves to believe that they are serious about purchasing quality players in order to regain their place as a big club.
