Manchester United have spent around £200million on new signings so far this summer and the Red Devils are looking to strengthen their squad further before the transfer window closes
Manchester United are weighing up late moves for two players after their humiliating exit from the Carabao Cup. United were knocked out of the tournament on penalties by League Two side Grimsby. Grimsby went 2-0 up in the first half thanks to strikes from Charles Vernam and Tyrell Warren, but late goals from Bryan Mbeumo and Harry Maguire sent the tie to penalties - only for Grimsby to emerge victorious 12-11.
The humiliating defeat means United are still searching for their first win of the season and ramps up the pressure on manager Ruben Amorim. United have strengthened their squad this summer, forking out over £200million to bring in the likes of Benjamin Sesko, Mbeumo and Cunha. Yet, the Red Devils are still looking at adding more new signings and a midfielder is top of the list, having cooled their interest in Carlos Baleba with Brighton demanding more than £100m for the 21-year-old.
Now, late window moves for two potential alternatives are being weighed up, with Crystal Palace star Adam Wharton and Sporting captain Morten Hjulmand both in the crosshairs of club chiefs, as first reported by The Athletic.
United will be back in action on Saturday when they host Burnley at Old Trafford will be desperate to see a much improved performance from his side.
"In the end it doesn't matter if we recover or not," Amorim said after the loss to Grimsby. "I know the best team won, the only team that was on the pitch. The best players lose because any players can win against any group of players. I think the players spoke really loud today. The best team won.
"I think it's really clear what they spoke. Let's move on from this day. I think it was really clear what happened today." When asked what went wrong, Amorim replied: "I don't know. Not just the space but the way we start the game without any intensity, any idea of pressure.
"We were completely lost. They spoke really loud. I think that [the same issues] is a problem. When you lose and see something new, it is different. We have to say sorry to the fans.
"The support that they gave us with all of the defeats, I just have to say I’m really sorry. I think they [the players] gave the response on the pitch today so I don’t have to talk about that.
"We have a game at the weekend and then we have two weeks and we will sort things out."

our problem is not a midfielder, we have good ones even on the bench. What we need is a goal keeper and a well focused defender

best system for Manchester United is this one. Diallo in this squad must on the bench then introduce him as substitute in 70 minutes if the opponent is defending or we are down by one goal.bruno up because he's poor on truckling and frastration once the team is down.your lineup is the best one

Amorim is the cause of all this
all those players are good enough to play for us but at their positions.what the need to playing Dorgu infront if there is more playmaker at the bench? expensive players is nothing if you don't create a winning system and mentality in your team

Amorim need to the system 3-4-2 if he want to win games when they play middle table teams. last night he made the great mistake of the season to underestimate team at the beginning of the season.he was supposed to started his 1st 11 lineup to gained players confident then made changes in 2cd half. He doesn't need to release those two young boys Maino and Granacho he already destroyed the team by chansing Rasford. protuguse manager with full of ego and wrong mentality of approaching players like mauricho

on my side they should sell onana , ugarte, Luke Shaw, Dorgu but not Bruno, and Mainoo cause they still have future for the club as early as possible on the formation from there every thing will be okay.
