Frenkie de Jong: United have advantage over Juventus in race for £55m Barcelona star
Story updated
The story in brief
29-second readManchester United’s struggles this season have raised questions about their summer business. The Red Devils invested over £150 million in Andrey Santos, Youri Tielemans and Carlos Baleba in a bid to sustain their spectacular rise under Michael Carrick in the second half of last season.
However, the English giants are languishing in 13th place in the Premier League table after six games, with just one win, while they have also been knocked out of the EFL Cup.
A 2-0 defeat to Atlético Madrid in midweek in the Champions League has been another reality check for Carrick. Santos has failed to impress, while Tielemans has been inconsistent as well.
