Erik ten Hag has faced significant midfield challenges at Manchester United this season, but with the summer transfer window looming, changes could be on the horizon.
United’s attempts to revamp their midfield in the summer of 2023 fell short of expectations. While the acquisition of Casemiro initially appeared promising in 2022, further reinforcements were required. However, their subsequent decisions raised eyebrows, with questionable moves leaving the midfield in a precarious position.
The hefty £60 million spent on Mason Mount, although a talented player, seemed excessive for a position often occupied by Bruno Fernandes. Additionally, the departure of Fred for a mere £12.9 million and the decision not to extend Marcel Sabitzer’s loan left gaps that were not adequately filled. Sofyan Amrabat’s arrival on loan for £8.6 million offered some respite, but his impact has been limited, leaving much resting on the inexperienced shoulders of academy product Kobbie Mainoo.
