From signing in the lightning to stagnation! Manchester United is thrown away by Premier League opponents, and the transfer window is too far behind

Manchester United's summer window started as fast as lightning. On June 1, it was decided to sign Mattus Cunia from Wolves in just 14 hours, activate his 62.5 million pound termination fee, and officially completed the transaction 11 days later. But since then, the team's signings have slowed down significantly, and the gap with Premier League opponents is gradually widening. After signing Cunha, Manchester United quickly offered Brentford's Brian Mbemo 55 million pounds (the player clearly expressed his willingness to join), but was rejected. Last month, the team raised their offer to more than £60 million. They thought they could finalize the second signing, but they were caught in a long negotiation. Now, with only two weeks left before the pre-season tour and closer to the opening of the new Premier League season, fans' dissatisfaction is heating up.

Manchester United tried to find a balance between "strengthening the lineup" and "avoiding premium" - Mbemo scored 20 goals last season and was the fourth Premier League scorer, and Brentford has reason to insist on high prices. But the problem is that other opponents have not stopped, and Manchester United's hesitation is gradually falling behind.

Adversaries are crazy signings: Liverpool, Tottenham and Arsenal collectively accelerated

Liverpool: Signing strong players such as Florian Wilz to quickly strengthen the midfield;

Tottenham: Mohamed Kudus of West Ham for 55 million pounds on Thursday, it is rumored to be activated to activate the 60 million pound termination fee of Morgan Gibbs White;

Arsenal: After signing Kepa, Zubimendi, and Christian Nogo, they are close to signing Chelsea winger Noni Marduk;

Chelsea: The same moves frequently, and the transfer efficiency is far better than Manchester United.

These teams mostly performed better than Manchester United last season, but they were still accelerating their strengthening, which made Red Devils fans more anxious. After all, Manchester United performed poorly last season (No. 15 in the Premier League), and this summer should be the most critical "revival window" in team history.

Unlike other giants, Manchester United is limited by financial conditions and must sell players before raising recruitment funds - Rashford, Garnacho, Sancho and others may leave the team, but the major sale has not been completed so far, which directly restricts the progress of new recruits.

It is undeniable that signing Cunha was a wise move (the Brazilian adapted to Ruben Amorin's system), and insisting on chasing Mbemo also meets the team's needs (filling the vacancy on the front line). But as mid-July approaches, the continued "tug-of-war" is putting Manchester United at risk of being completely thrown away - especially Tottenham may sign Kudus and Gibbs White in a week. This "declaration-style signing" further highlights Manchester United's lag.
