Graeme Souness does not believe the £220m summer spend will help Manchester United challenge for PL
Scotland legend Graeme Souness does not believe the £220 million summer spend will help Manchester United challenge for the Premier League. The former Liverpool player and manager feels the new signing will not make a difference in the title race.
Erik ten Hag was backed in the recent transfer window, with six new faces making their way to the Old Trafford side. Initially, the Dutch manager was given Tyrell Malacia, Christian Eriksen and Lisandro Martinez. And the trio have been key this season.
However, after United lost the first two games of the 2022/23 campaign, there seemed to be more urgency to bring further reinforcements. And fans saw Casemiro, Antony and Martin Dubravka make their way to Manchester.
The former Ajax winger has been another vital member of Ten Hag’s starting XI. On the other hand, the Brazilian midfielder who was bought from Real Madrid is slowly being integrated into the team by the Dutch manager.
After the two defeats to Brighton & Hove Albion and Brentford, United have managed to bounce back. We have won every game in the league since then, barring the Manchester derby, which we lost 6-3.
Speaking on talkSPORT (h/t Manchester Evening News), Souness made his thoughts clear, suggesting United were not going to be in the race for the PL trophy this season. He also took a dig at Ralf Rangnick.
