So,
If Utd make another two signings before the close of the transfer window, which positions would posters like to see strengthened?
1. LB
2. If Sancho goes then another Winger, if not another CM.

Sancho's replacement would be my main priority as Antony and Rashford haven't had any form for over a year, Amad is young and will be inconsistent.
Hope we don't sign Sterling though.
Outside of that, I'd go left back but unless that's someone coming in to be first choice ahead of Shaw, I don't see much point.

Midfield for me has to the the priority. Yes Ugarte helps but that still leaves Casemiro, Mainoo and Collyer as the only other options. Casemiro is on the decline and the other two are young inexperienced players.
Beyond midfield it depends on who leaves. If Sancho stays then maybe a LB or LCB. Although if Sancho leaves then we probably should look at a wide player.
The important thing though is that we do have sign any short term or options because they are "cheap".
We should only sign quality long term options who either are or have the potential to be first choice.

I think we need another CM who can cover and compete with Mainoo. If Shaw and Malacia are going to be out for more than a month then a left back should be high on the list, otherwise, I expect we’ll look to bring in another wide player (especially if Sancho leaves) .
If it were up to me, we’d be signing another goalkeeper as well, but it looks like we’re going to be stuck with Onana between the sticks for at least another season.

I think a LB and Winger is priority, providing we can move Sancho on.
Not bothered by Branthwaite, we have plenty of CB cover this year so would only want to see us make a move for him if we move one on.
We desperately need LB cover, unless Malacia or Shaw are closer to returning, which you're then gambling on their fitness.
A winger to replace Sancho would also be needed and I'm not overly against Sterling as a back up. Still has pace and is very direct, might also provide some experience for the likes of Amad and Garnacho.

I think we need a box to box midfielder who can compete with Mainoo.
27 Aug 2024 20:44:06
Left back and central midfield for me.
I’m also seriously concerned about the lack of goals in this squad.
At left back I’d like to see us go out and find a first team replacement for Shaw but I’m not sure that’s financially viable at this stage of the window.
In midfield I’d like to see Hjulmand.

I will be pleasantly surprised if Shaw and malacia combined play for a whole month without needing Mas or Dalot to cover for them.
Mainoo needs competition, but maybe cassemiro can push him, in a more advanced role with cover behind him he could be good.
Looking forward to the window slamming shut and then we can get on with it.

A ball playing controller in midfield should be priority for me.
