Manchester City have parted ways with Ilkay Gundogan, but Mateo Kovacic has joined their ranks; Kylian Mbappe's future at PSG seems uncertain; and Manchester United have had a disappointing transfer window thus far. Only on the #SLPodcast!
Why are United suffering, and why has their transfer window been blemished? Catch the debate by clicking on the podcast player below!
Manchester United have had a poor transfer window thus far, with the only action coming from Zidane Iqbal, who is set to leave the Red Devils for a fee close to £1 million. Eric ten Hag has his sights set on a few big-name players, including Chelsea's Mason Mount and Tottenham Hotspurs' Harry Kane, but those transfers now seem unlikely due to the prolonged sale of the club. Prospective new owners Sheikh Jassim and Sir Jim Ratcliffe have increased their bids to buy the team, but the Glazer family is yet to decide who to sell to. There is no doubt that United's slow window to date is due to this decision, or lack thereof.
