Manchester United are being given a costly reminder as Frenkie de Jong transfer saga goes on

You could be forgiven for forgetting that the summer transfer window is only ten days old.

Since the padlocks on the window were removed and the purse strings on clubs' budgets were loosened, Liverpool, Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur have wasted no time in strengthening their respective squads ahead of the start of the new season. Liverpool have swooped for Calvin Ramsay and Darwin Nunez, City have unveiled Erling Haaland and Spurs have added Yves Bissouma to their list of additions, following the earlier signings of Fraser Forster and Ivan Perisic.

Manchester United, meanwhile, have done little else but release their end-of-season retained list. To say that it has been a quiet start to the window in M16 would be an understatement.
