Manchester United is poised to disappoint Erik ten Hag once more by deciding not to sign a player for a crucial position.

As per Football Insider’s report, it appears that Manchester United’s leadership is once again in a position to disappoint Erik ten Hag, given the club’s financial constraints.

Consequently, the team is expected to shift its focus toward acquiring more budget-friendly options for the center-back position, as they lack the financial capacity for significant expenditures during the winter transfer window.

This situation arises as a result of the club’s inability to secure a center-back for Ten Hag during the previous summer transfer window.

This has now posed a challenge for the team, especially in light of injuries sustained by Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez early in the current season.

Consequently, there are no plans for any of their existing center-backs to depart the club, leaving the Dutch coach to make the most of his current resources.

During the summer, Manchester United expressed interest in Goncalo Inacio and Jean-Clair Todibo and were associated with a potential move for Crystal Palace’s Marc Guehi leading up to the January transfer window.

Any of these options could have significantly strengthened United’s squad. However, to the disappointment of the club’s supporters, there won’t be any new arrivals at Old Trafford.

This is unwelcome news, particularly in light of the team’s challenging start to the season.
