Manchester United recruitment staff held discussions with the board on the topic of transfers after their 2-1 defeat to Brighton at Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon, according to transfer insider Dean Jones. Erik ten Hag’s first match in charge did not exactly go to plan but there are still weeks remaining for the club to strengthen his side ahead of the deadline on September 1.
Only three new signings have been made by the club this summer in what has been a surprisingly quiet window given how poorly the 2021-22 campaign went.
Lisandro Martinez, Christian Eriksen and Tyrell Malacia are the new faces at Old Trafford but the same problems are seemingly persisting after their lacklustre display against the Seagulls.
A new striker is still on the agenda but they now appear to have lost out on the signing of Benjamin Sesko, with Fabrizio Romano reporting the Slovenian will now join RB Leipzig next summer.
