After a good finish to the 2019/20 season, United headed into the summer and we’re supposed to bolster their roster to compete for the league championship. Sadly, with their summer company, the Red Devils struggled to succeed, making some controversial choices that left everyone scratching their heads.
Early in the summer, Manchester United sealed the transfer of Donny van de Beek from Ajax. From there, though, it went all downhill. Before the Red Devils panicked in the penultimate days of the window, Jadon Sancho’s lengthy search ended in disappointment, revealing a distinct lack of preparation.

At Paris-Saint Germain, the Frenchman climbed through the ranks but failed to break into the first team. In the 2018/19 season, he caught the attention of the Ligue 1 giants, where he scored four goals from 34 games and then moved to Bayer Leverkusen in the summer of 2019.
In his debut season in the Bundesliga, Diaby managed eight goals from 39 appearances, prompting interest from teams around Europe, including Manchester United.
