Manchester United still need to sign a central midfielder almost ten months after appointing Ruben Amorim . The Red Devils shortcomings in that department were clear again after the 1-1 draw away to Fulham last weekend.

They have signed three forwards - Benjamin Sesko , Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha - this summer , four if you include Enzo Kana-Biyik . Diego Leon is also the second left wing-back brought in after already adding Patrick Dorgu during the winter transfer window , alongside Ayden Heaven , an additional central defender.

However, the middle of the pitch remains unimproved in comparison to when Amorim arrived. United are actually weaker there than they were last season after Christian Eriksen and Toby Collyer departed, the latter on loan.
