Manchester United have been served up a damning take on their transfer market pulling power this summer.
Having appointed Erik ten Hag as a permanent successor to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in the dugout, United have only completed one signing - Netherlands defender Tyrell Malacia - as others such as priority target Frenkie de Jong are still dragging their heels. There are also question marks over Cristiano Ronaldo and his future.
Free agent Christian Eriksen has agreed to sign for United on a three-year contract. However, there is little for new manager Ten Hag to hang his hat on when tempting in further recruits, according to one pundit, as teams including Arsenal and Tottenham have moved beyond them in the pecking order for the modern-day player.
