Man Utd soon welcomed 3 new recruits, but the slow transfer activities in August left them with a lot of work to do in the final days of the summer market.

When Manchester United agreed a deal with Atalanta for Rasmus Hojlund at the end of July, the Red Devils’ summer move to Manchester looked set to be moving in a good direction.

Hojlund became the third addition to the first team and although the announcement of the Danish player’s arrival took longer than expected, Erik ten Hag has a new goalkeeper, midfielder and striker on hand. on 5/8.

It was a marked improvement in terms of the squad compared to the previous year, when Casemiro was signed after only 3 games of the new season, and Antony arrived on the last day of the summer market.

 Man Utd are slow to bring in a midfielder.

However, it was only a dream because coach Erik ten Hag still had a lot of work to do to strengthen the squad. When the agreement with Hojlund is agreed, Man Utd has more than a month to add other positions. However, everything happened quite slowly.

There haven’t been any new arrivals at Old Trafford in the past month and Fred is the only first-team player to have left. This contributed to a tense and stressful final week, when the transfer window was only a few days away from closing.

Man Utd is almost out of control. Injuries to Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia mean they need a left-back urgently. Marc Cucurella is the top choice. But, this is also a risky plan because Cucurella has declined in form.

As a goalkeeper, Dean Henderson is close to joining Crystal Palace in a deal that falls in the region of £20m. When this deal is approved, Man United will sign Altay Bayindir from Fenerbahce.

Then there’s the quarterback. Man United have been watching Fiorentina’s Sofyan Amrabat all summer and the Moroccan, with a year left on his contract, is still waiting. Patience is limited when Man Utd has not made any move.

Man United have an alternative, which is Ryan Gravenberch of Bayern Munich. However, similar to Amrabat, the Old Trafford team is almost motionless.

In contrast, both Donny van de Beek and Hannibal Mejbri can leave on loan or sell. The departure of Eric Bailly also needs to be completed. But it may be too late for Harry Maguire and Scott McTominay.

Man United reluctant to let McTominay leave after Kobbie Mainoo picked up a pre-season injury. Shaw’s absence and Raphael Varane’s continued injury also ended all opportunities for Maguire to find a new destination .

This is considered a suitable summer for Man Utd to accelerate the process of skin change. However, Man Utd’s blood change plan took place quite slowly. They continue to repeat the same footsteps last summer.

It is clear that the management of Man Utd has problems in planning and implementing procurement goals. That pushed Man Utd into a series of panic buying and selling.
