Manchester United have endured a difficult start to the season after losing two of their opening three matches. Erik ten Hag has been handed several new players this summer to improve on last season's eighth-placed finish but United are yet to see any major sign of things getting better.

And despite the summer window closing on August 31, that hasn't stopped some of the transfer rumours surrounding United. One player who has been linked with a move to Old Trafford for some time is Frenkie de Jong.

The Barcelona midfielder worked with Ten Hag at Ajax and was heavily linked with United in 2022 but a move never materialised.
