Failure to address the current issues in the ongoing transfer window could potentially result in the Red Devils missing out on securing a spot in the next season’s Champions League.
According to an exclusive report by Football Insider, Manchester United is gearing up for a significant deal to secure a last-minute marquee signing this month. While loan deals are a possibility, the club is also planning to finalize a high-value permanent signing before the transfer deadline, which is less than two weeks away.
The crucial question arises: who should be the marquee signing for Erik ten Hag?
In the attacking third, the departure of Sancho and Greenwood has already been sanctioned. However, Rashford, Antony, and Hojlund have not consistently performed in the Premier League.
Regarding the defensive lineup, Martinez has returned to action after a prolonged absence due to injury. Maguire and Lindelof are currently unavailable, and the peak performances of Varane and Evans are in the past.
In the midfield, summer signing Mount and Amrabat have not resolved the conundrum this season. Additionally, veterans Casemiro and Eriksen, who should be replaced sooner rather than later, further complicate the midfield situation.
