Manchester United are set to play rivals Leeds United on Wednesday as their pre-season campaign kicks off in Oslo. Among those who will be motivated to make a statement during the game is Matej Kovar, a young goalkeeper looking to become the first backup option for the 2023/24 season.
Manchester United could be punished for transfer market distractions
30.06.2023 - 04:57 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
It is no surprise Manchester United are set to end June without a new signing to show off.
Yesterday marked four years since they last broke the trend by adding Aaron Wan-Bissaka in the first weeks of a summer window, one that will hardly be looked back on as a success. The early business looked like a step in the right direction, and United ended the window with three permanent signings for an outlay of £145million.
Daniel James was sold for a decent profit; Harry Maguire could be sold this summer if a suitable offer arrives; and against all odds, Wan-Bissaka has managed to rejuvenate his career when it looked all but over. There is always a huge amount of revisionism regarding transfers, and while they looked like decent enough additions who all served a purpose at the time, the preceding years certainly haven't been kind to that summer of business.
Indeed, just as 2019 proves that getting your business done early does not guarantee success, it could well turn out that United's seemingly slower start this year benefits them well in the long run.

What is a valid concern, though, is that United appear to be at a standstill already, putting them at risk of losing valuable time and the opportunity to strengthen their squad.
It is worth pointing out that the window is only two weeks old, but United's case is not helped by the fact that so many of their domestic rivals have already flexed their financial muscle and begun their rebuilding plans.
Despite being their priority this summer, everything seems to have gone a little quiet on the striker front, and United are no closer to knowing who will lead their line next season. There had been hope to get any new recruits
