Erik ten Hag makes admission on Manchester United midfield and attacking transfer issues

Erik ten Hag admits Manchester United are an injury away from encountering problems in midfield and attack.
Anthony Martial's hamstring strain and Cristiano Ronaldo's lack of playing time convinced Ten Hag to play a strikerless side against Brighton but United lost their season-opener 2-1 at Old Trafford.
Four attack-minded players left United at the end of their contracts in June while the departure of Nemanja Matic means there is not a defensive midfielder in the first-team squad. Martial is still unavailable for United's match at Brentford.

The presence in midfield of Scott McTominay and Fred, hooked for Ronaldo after 53 minutes against Brighton, irked many supporters and Donny van de Beek and James Garner are Ten Hag's alternative options.
"We cooperate well and it is to my satisfaction," Ten Hag stressed regarding United's recruitment process, "and, of course, it was better to get the players earlier in because then you get earlier in the process.
"And now we are in the department of midfield and offence, you have seen when we have one injury that we have a problem. That’s clear."
United identified the midfield and attack as priority positions but have signed a left-back, a centre-back and playmaker Christian Eriksen.
Ten Hag has driven a pursuit of Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong which is nearing the 100-day mark while United have agreed a fee of £15million rising to £20m for Adrien Rabiot.
Ajax winger Antony was earmarked as Ten Hag's preferred attacking addition but the Dutch champions have priced out the Brazilian of a move as he is valued at €80m.
