Man United fans ‘should be worried’ after ‘very strange’ transfer development – pundit
Man United fans should be worried by their club’s failure to sign a senior player so far this summer.
That’s according to former Leeds United stopper Paddy Kenny, speaking exclusively to Football Insider about the club’s lack of transfer business.
Man United are yet to make a senior signing this summer while rival clubs such as Liverpool and Tottenham have already signed multiple players.
Nemanja Matic has signed for Roma while Paul Pogba, Juan Mata, Jessie Lingard and Edinson Cavani will all leave the club upon the expiry of their contracts later this month.
As per Manchester Evening News (23 June) the Red Devils are still locked in negotiations for Frenkie de Jong and are preparing a new offer.
Kenny insists new signings must arrive immediately.
“It’s strange, we are a couple of weeks off of pre-season and there are no new faces,” Kenny told Football Insider correspondent Ben Wild.
“It’s very strange. I think it is worrying times for Man United, I’m not going to lie.
“The way they have gone over the last three or four seasons, they just seem to be going backwards for me.
“It will be interesting to see if anyone comes in soon because they are meant to be going through an overhaul. I think the fans should be worried.
“Liverpool at Tottenham have plenty of players coming in, Arsenal too. So Man United need to get some players in.”
Man United face Liverpool at the Rajamangala Stadium in Bangkok on 12 July in their first pre-season game.
They also face Atletico Madrid and Rayo Vallecano later that month.
