After one other unconvincing begin to a Premier League season, the strain is on Erik ten Hag to make sure progress happens within the right here and now, with supporters weary of the phrases ‘transition’ or ‘venture’.

With Fernandes set to show 30 subsequent week, nevertheless – and with an injury-prone Mason Mount but to persuade – there’s nonetheless one thing of a void in relation to an acceptable backup for the membership captain, guaranteeing younger Nypan might effectively fill that gap.

It could seem that the Purple Devils will face intense competitors from the Gunners to drag off such an astute, long-term swoop, though aided by the benefit of the Scandinavian star’s United allegiances, this absolutely should be a deal that will get achieved.
