Man Utd have completed three transfers so far this summer but a slow August has left them with work to do in the final days of the window.
When Manchester United agreed a deal with Atalanta to sign Rasmus Hojlund in the final few days of July, their summer looked to be progressing nicely.
United had certainly put themselves in a strong position though. When the deal for Hojlund was agreed on the penultimate day of their US tour, there was more than a month to go of the window.But a proactive July has given way to a frustrating, slow-burn August. There have been no new incomings for a month and Fred is the only other first-team player to have left. It's making for a stressful, pressure-filled final week of the window, which closes on Friday night.
Marc Cucurella and Sergio Reguilon are Premier League options under consideration, but as the January window proved for United, bringing in players as cover on loan deals comes with risks attached. They are available for loan for a reason. United have alternatives in this area, including Bayern Munich's Ryan Gravenberch, who played under Ten Hag at Ajax, but the first few weeks of the season have given the impression that another combative midfielder is needed in this squad.
