Manchester United have just 13 days left to close business in the summer transfer market and time pressure is starting to show.
United have signed three players so far:Tyrell Marasia,Christian Eriksen andLisandro Martinez. I'm in. Eriksen is a free transfer and Martinez is a former player for Ajax's Erik ten Hug. Still, those three deals make up the bulk of the summer transfer window, all 83 days.
The new CEO, Richard Arnold, started the summer at a local pub. He argued to disgruntled fans that after years of Ed Woodward, this summer was going to be different. "It's not about the money who we want,"said Arnold,. ]? I don't know. Get who you want. Do you want me to buy players? Won't that ring a bell?"
Arnold and football director John Murtaugh spent the summer on the"Interrail" tour of Europe, chasing de Jong, Ajax forward Anthony andJuventus midfielder Adrian Rabiot. Signs of players had not been finalized and in the meantime United were busy losing to Brighton and Brentford.
Things have reached a desperate stage. United need reinforcements - and they need them soon. But things couldn't get any easier - the selling club knows United are hopeless, so Potential contractors may demand inflated wages, while potentially driving prices up. All cards have new names, such as forwards. Then came Casemiro and Alvaro Morata, Anthony, De Jong, Christian Pulisic, Thomas Meunier, Jan Sommer, Asmir Begovic, Joao Felix, Mateus Cunha, Sergei Milinkovic-Savic and Pierre-Emerick.・Along with Aubameyang and many more.

Casemiro It seems like is the most likely in a long list of names. With de Jong at a standstill, Real Madrid's midfielder has reportedly been a priority in recent days. The Brazilian is undoubtedly a good player to improve Ten Hug's current midfield, but there are a number of caveats.
United are reportedly poised to offer the 30-year-old Casemiro a five-year bumper deal, which is likely double his current Real deal. and pay the Spanish giant £60m.These figures reek of short-term thinking and are not a combined plan. Of course it is what it is.

Jose Breton/Getty Images)Morata has been a potential mover all summer after his loan from Atletico Madrid to Juventus expires. There was. The 29-year-old Spanish striker is a strangely polarizing player, neither hot nor cold. However, in his three years atChelsea, he scored 24 goals in his 72 appearances, often scoring one in one game. there is no doubt. frustration illustration.
TheTimes reported that Madrid were willing to offer Morata to United as part of a swap deal forCristiano Ronaldo. It doesn't sound like a big deal for United or Ten Hag. But with the clock ticking and the club becoming more and more desperate, that's exactly the kind of deal they continue to offer. It's my only hope.
