Manchester United head into the final eight days of the transfer window in need of improvement, as Erik ten Hag and co scramble around for deals following a poor start to the season
Manchester United have eight days to make a strong finish to what’s been an eventful but divisive summer transfer window.
The Red Devils have splashed out nearly £200million on Andre Onana, Mason Mount and Rasmus Hojlund, but judging by their poor start to the new Premier League season, manager Erik ten Hag needs even more backing. United scraped to an unconvincing 1-0 victory over Wolves in their opening game before slumping to a limp 1-0 loss away to Tottenham on Saturday.
Locked in a battle with arch-enemies Liverpool over Bayern Munich midfielder Ryan Gravenberch, supporters are baying for new signings, although exits are just as important. The Red Devils have already lined up Fenerbahce goalkeeper Altay Bayindir – who’s had a medical – in anticipation of Dean Henderson’s departure, with a centre-back also on the agenda should Harry Maguire leave. Here’s a round-up of the latest transfer news from Old Trafford.
French side Nice expect Manchester United to sign defender Jean-Clair Todibo before the transfer window closes, according to L’Equipe. The Red Devils are linked with a move for the former Barcelona centre-back, 23, in the event of Harry Maguire leaving.
