Rasmus Hojlund's arrival at Manchester United for a fee rising to £72m was always going to be a gamble. And it's a gamble that has backfired massively. The callow striker enjoyed a respectable first season at Old Trafford, scoring 16 goals in all competitions. But his second term at the club has been one of regression and frustration, with Hojlund scoring a paltry four league goals as United limped to a dire 15th-place finish.

Left-back has been a problem position for a number of years for Manchester United. Luke Shaw's constant injury issues mean he can't be relied on, with Diogo Dalot and Noussair Mazraoui having to fill in on the left at times last season. The club will hope Patrick Dorgu can make the position his own for years to come, but at just 20 he still has a lot to learn. For a few weeks at the start of the 2022/23 season, United looked to have uncovered a gem in Tyrell Malacia.

Following their worst season in 51 years, Manchester United had to act quickly in the transfer market. Such an abysmal campaign simply could not be followed by weeks of inactivity, and the club wasted no time in announcing the arrival of Matheus Cunha. Interest in Bryan Mbeumo soon surfaced, with United hopeful of wrapping up a deal for last season's fourth-top scorer in the Premier League. A solid start to the window, but the centre forward problem remains.

It's difficult to remember the last time Manchester United reached a summer transfer window without needing to offload plenty of players. Nine departures have already been confirmed this summer after the club released their retained list, and that figure will undoubtedly swell over the coming months.

Buying Premier League proven players hasn't been a priority for Manchester United in recent years. United have tended to target foreign leagues in a bid to strengthen their squad, but there has been a notable shift during Ruben Amorim's first summer transfer window at the helm. Matheus Cunha has already arrived from Wolves in a £62.5million deal, while there's hope Brentford star Bryan Mbeumo will soon join him at Old Trafford.
