Board need to back their man

It was a torrid season for Man Utd last campaign, finishing a woeful fifteenth in the Premier League table.

Having added two attackers, the elephant in the room is still their lack of striker.

Rasmus Hojlund is certainly not the answer to their problems, try as he might, he is not a natural goalscorer.

This was underpinned by the manager opting to play Matheus Cunha up front but that didn’t seem to work either.

Nobody knows if there is any more money to spend, if you speak to any of the staff laid off last season, they would say no.

One moment Sir Jim Ratcliffe is saying how close the club was to going bankrupt, the next they are building new stadiums and spending £150m on players.

Testing times for manager

David Moyes has been quite vocal about the club’s lack of transfer activity so far this summer.

They have a threadbare squad and could struggle if they get injuries to key players.

It is a concern how few goals they look to have in them in the final third and really need to be active in what remains in this transfer window.

Same problems still there

While the additions of Bryan Mbuemo and Matheus Cunha will add creativity in the final third, there is a lot of work still to do.

With Bruno Fernandes joining them in a front three, their midfield looks weak and was often overpowered by The Toffees.

As a defensive unit, they still look all over the shop.

The lack of cohesion and communication for both Everton goals is just not good enough for the Premier League.
