It is starting to feel like a broken record at this stage but Manchester United have been in desperate need of reinforcements in midfield for some time.
Fred's departure to Fenerbahce made it a necessity but even before then, the midfield appeared to be out of balance. Against Wolverhampton Wanderers, Casemiro looked overrun with Mason Mount and Bruno Fernandes pushing on.
The former Real Madrid midfielder was clearly in need of some help in the centre to help solve this issue and to his credit, Erik ten Hag identified players to solve the problem.
Among them was Fiorentina's Sofyan Amrabat and Bayern Munich's Ryan Gravenberch. Both players are, or at least were, pro-joining United.
