Erik ten Hag's reign as Manchester United boss got off to the worst possible start with defeat on the opening day of the new Premier League season at home to Brighton.
The 2-1 upset marked the first time the Seagulls have won at Old Trafford in more than 40 years and spelt further misery for a United manager tackling many different problems at once. In response to the dismal display, Ten Hag appears to view further Red Devils transfers as the way out of the current mess.
Upon his appointment, many expected the ex-Ajax boss to oversee a summer of spending at the helm but it hasn't exactly materialised that way. As things stand, United have made just three additions in the form of Dutch left-back Tyrell Malacia, Argentine international Lisandro Martinez and ex-Spurs star Christian Eriksen.
