Manchester United Leadership Reflects on Summer Transfers

Manchester United's sporting director Dan Ashworth acknowledged that the summer transfer window was not 'perfect' despite spending over £175 million and bringing in key players like Manuel Ugarte. The club has faced a challenging start to the season, sitting with only three points after three games, including a heavy 3-0 defeat to Liverpool. Both Ashworth and CEO Omar Berrada expressed their support for manager Erik ten Hag, emphasizing their commitment to building a competitive squad capable of contending for major trophies. Ashworth noted that while they filled crucial target positions, there were regrets over missed targets, and he denied that Ten Hag was overly focused on signing former players. The club has also seen significant player departures, including Jadon Sancho's loan to Chelsea, which raised questions about team cohesion. Looking forward, Berrada and Ashworth committed to making 'good decisions' for the club's long-term success.
