Current Manchester United forwards need support

Manchester United could have gone three points away at Brighton & Hove Albion, but they minced the game, leaving it to 100^th minute to fire the opposition.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer sent in a strong team that consisted of the best front line the Red Devils can offer, but it was a glaring admission of his lack of depth on the team given that there was no option from the bench that could occupy the flanks or play through the middle.

It has been so secret that Man United is trying to secure the services of Borussia Dortmund’s Jadon Sancho. But, after many months of direct and indirect negotiations, they are finding it increasingly difficult to negotiate a deal with the German club, which is adamant that it will not be sold unless they are presented with £ 100 million more add-ons.

Whether or not an agreement can be reached before October 5^th The transfer deadline remains to be seen, but it is clear that Manchester United simply have to sign reinforcements both in attack and defense to prop up the squad with quality.

With participation in the Champions League achieved last season, it is paramount that the manager has a squad he can trust in both the Premier League and European competition with such rapid change.

Mason Greenwood has come into the limelight at the tender age of 18, and while he has shown that he can handle the move to Premier League football, it would be foolish to expect him to perform at a consistently high level every three or so. four days. .

No club can compete for the highest honors in more than one competition with a lean team that the coach cannot trust, which appears to be the overwhelming opinion of Solskjaer and this current crop of players.

There has been talk of Alex Telles behind closed doors and they are reaching an advanced stage now with FC Porto, which is looking to sell for 22 million euros. Manchester United know the Portuguese club needs cash and is looking to cut the price, but it could reach a point where they simply have to pay the current fee to secure the deal.

If the Red Devils don’t back the manager, the crowd will be in an uproar as it was the Norwegian manager, with the help of Bruno Fernandes, who turned the season around after the lockout and put them in a final third position in the Premier League. . .

No one expects the Red Devils board of directors to approve the same level of investment that Chelsea have made this summer, but they expect Sancho and Telles, at the very least, to be signed before the window closes so they can add much-needed ones. weight to a lean-looking squad.
