Exactly seven weeks now stand between Manchester United and their opening game of the 2022/23 Premier League campaign against Brighton at Old Trafford.
The opening day visit of the Seagulls, who crushed United 4-0 in their last meeting, will mark the beginning of a new era in M16 and Erik ten Hag's first competitive game in charge. It will also mark an occasion where United's supporters will be hoping to catch a glimpse of the club's summer intake.
However, if things continue as they currently are, United's supporters' scouting reports on any new additions will not take too long to compile. That is because the club is yet to complete its first signing of the summer transfer window and all of their energy, certainly from the outside looking in, appears to be focused on signing Frenkie de Jong from Barcelona.
