I'd really be grateful if they can also get a back up player for Diego Dalot and Tyrell Malacia, coz as for me, Luke Shaw not even sure enough to be a back up player.

It seems like ten Haag is pretty much convinced with Shaw. I think he is the backup option on the left hand side. I also agree not a good option but seems like ten Haag is convinced he can work out with him. On the right hand side, there is Wan-Bissaka for which United are working out on selling him but haven't found any potential buyer. There are also rumours of Dear to United but for that to happen Bissaka needs to be sold out.
Every manager who has come to Manchester United have always favored Luke Shaw, it's no surprise anymore to me seeing Luke Shaw get play time. The new boy Malacia has been impressive and has earned himself a starting spot in the first eleven this season already so Luke Shaw will have to play from the bench as a substitute except something magical happens with Luke shaw that could see him start ahead of Malacia.

Nothing seems to have changed in Ronaldo's transfer rumors as towards the close of this transfer window no club was really interested in signing him. even chelsea and napoli are just rumors that were developed.

Well alot of club would be willing to sign him but the problem lies on his wages though. Most ordinary club wont be able to pay him and I honestly dont think that he intended to let any other club out there to sign him as he wants to play with a club that stands a chance on the UCL. Tough luck for him but Manchester United is getting better though so he would be glad even if he stays on the club

@abhiseshakana I believe that Martial will be the main striker and not Ronaldo, and Sancho and Anthony will support him and at this stage I’m not even sure where Rashford fits in. Furthermore Ten Hag need quick player’s, and therefore I don’t think that Ronaldo can be in the starting lineup and even if he stays then he’ll only be used as a super sub or he’ll only make it to the starting lineup in case Martial is unavailable.
But in the last few games that United have run, Ten Hag's focus is still on Rashford, not Martial or Ronaldo.
At the moment it seems Ten Hag is quite comfortable in its 4-2-3-1 scheme which in the last few matches has gone very well and can win the match.
But maybe next week's match will be different because Antony is already at Old Trafford, so the possibility of 4-3-3 will be an option.

Erik ten Hag feels confident that Cristiano Ronaldo will not leave Manchester United in the final days of the transfer window, although in recent days talks about a move have been discussed between Napoli and Ronaldo's former club Sporting CP.

It will be interesting to wait for the formation or game scheme that will be applied by Erik ten Hag after the arrival of Antony from Ajax, whether Ronaldo will still get playing minutes even as a substitute.

What is clear is that Erik ten Hag really needs quality players to be consistent in every game in order to compete with the top teams in the Premier League this season.
I also feel very confident that Ronaldo will remain at the club in the end after much criticism and speculations and will fight for his position in the starting line up. I know many have grown to dislike Ronaldo now because he requested to leave the club. It will be really i retesting to see him come back to scoring goals and get back his place in the starting team for Manchester United and shut the mouths of those criticising and calling him names.

Arsenal are exploring the possibility of signing Danilo from Palmeras this season,and according to reports,they have submitted a 20 miliion bid for the defensive midfielder, who is to stand as a cover for injured Thomas Partey and Elneny.The bid is to be rejected by Palmeras as report says the player's release clause is about 75 million Euros.
Arsenal really need this deal because the game against Aston Villa was a struggle for them to win that match.
Adding Danilo and Murdryk of ShactaDonesk would have been a very perfect addition to the Arsenal team.

Last day on summer transfer window utilized by Fulham to get new player and they successfully get Brazilian player who has no clubs currently Willian and according to the news Willian will get short term contract with Fulham and about his career most people know Willian is former of Chelsea player and he has experience playing at Premier League although he is not young anymore but Fulham manager Marco Silva hopes Willian will help Fulham to survive in Premier League

Willian was quite successful playing for Chelsea and helped Chelsea win 5 trophies, unfortunately when he joined Arsenal Willian played badly.
After that Willian decided to return to Corinthians, unfortunately his contract at Corinthians had to be terminated early last month due to bad treatment
from Corinthians fans. So now Willian is without a club, and Marco Silva as Fulham coach impressed with Willian's performance when Willian joined
the training with the Fulham squad. That's why Marco Silva asked Fulham management to sign Willian. Because Willian is considered to be able to make
a positive contribution to Fulham, after all Willian has played in the Premier League for a long time, so Willian should be able to adapt quickly to Fulham.

But since Willian is not young anymore, Fulham management will provide a short-term contract for Willian. Willian reportedly will be contracted with
a duration of one year. Honestly, I doubt Willian can contribute to Fulham, especially since Willian failed at Arsenal. But because Willian is obtained
for free, there is no harm in trying to recruit Willian. According to the news Fulham will likely inaugurate Willian in the near future, because the transfer
market will close soon then Fulham must move quickly to be able to recruit Willian.
Willian has passed his prime, bringing back to the premier league is a gamble buy for Fulham and I hope he impresses and they will not have to regret buying him in the end. I expect players like Willian in the MLS league cause that is were aged players go to retire. I don't think Willian still gas that energy and physicality to play in the Premier league but who knows what Fulham's manager has seen in him that made him consider Willian, we shall see how it turns out.

It's just one option that has promising potential, and of course, Ten Hag can also choose the option to play Martial or Rashford instead of Ronaldo. I don't think Ronaldo was on the bench because he played badly, but because of what he did (he left the stadium early in the Pre-Season game and he has a strong desire to leave Man United and that makes the dressing room atmosphere less harmonious). Ten Hag taught a lesson and made it clear to Ronaldo that he was the boss. If only Ronaldo didn't throw a tantrum, I think he will be Ten Hag's preferred starter because Ten Hag once said that Ronaldo was part of his plan.
Cristiano Ronaldo is still major part of Erik ten Hag plans for United, but his desire to leave the club have driven the new boss to keep him on the bench. Manchester United didn't qualify for the champions league this season, so united GOAT, Cristiano Ronaldo can not step down to feature in Europa cup, which he strongly don't want to play. Ronaldo's agent, Jorge Mendes is still looking for bids with other clubs Incase they need his client. Erik ten Hag wants Cristiano Ronaldo to remain with the team but his ambition is elsewhere, so he can't force him to stay when he have brilliant players.
If Manchester United try and keep Christiano Ronaldo this summer it will be a big achievements, because he guarantee success and lot of goals, and more especially he has lot of experience In football and Manchester United younger players needs player like that around them, player like Marcus Rashford, Sancho,elanga and the new boy Anthony all need big caliber of player like Ronaldo and also now United has Christian Eriksen and casemiro they would need and experience striker upfront like Ronaldo to finish good passings.

Ronaldo will soon depart from Manchester United according to his wish. Erik's vision for the new generation of players of Manchester United won't include Ronaldo, I think. Cristiano Ronaldo had wished to play for Chelsea but got turned down because he's old and not fit for Chelsea. But the recent game where Chelsea lost 1:2 to Southampton might change that. Chelsea is in no position to be demanding as their striker position is shoddy as hell. As long as Ronaldo doesn't go for Liverpool then I'm okay with that. A nice part away between Ronaldo and Manchester United, everyone's happy.
I don't think Chelsea are in any position to be rejecting Ronaldo. They are desperately in need of a striker and with the current state of the window it will be difficult now to get that perfect striker they are looking for. Ronaldo coming in at Chelsea will definitely give them an extra boost in their attack whether Ronaldo is aged or not he will surely strengthen Chelsea's attack so in my opinion they should look at the brighter side.

I am kinda torn about the whole situation with Cristiano Ronaldo and Manchester United. It is clear for several weeks now that CR7 desperately wants to leave the club because his main goal now seems to be to improve his record of most scored goals in the Champions League even further and for that he is willing to go to a club that would pay him way less salary than ManU is paying him it at the moment.
It seems like the problem is Manchester United because they will only let him go if they get a decent transfer fee for him and so far no one is willing to pay that. On one hand i feel kinda bad for CR7 because he desperately wants to improve his record on the other hand he signed a contract with ManU a year ago and contracts need to be respected from both sides.

Nothing seems to have changed in Ronaldo's transfer rumors as towards the close of this transfer window no club was really interested in signing him. even chelsea and napoli are just rumors that were developed.

even De Jong is likely to stay with Barcelona after rumors of a departure did not come true in the final hours of the transfer window this summer.

I'm waiting for a surprise in the last hour of this summer's transfer window. And I hope the surprise comes from the big European clubs.
In the end, gossip and drama that were long enough were only one of the heaters for this transfer.
Now it's just a few days of closing and still nothing has happened and rumors are just rumours.
In the end I think they will only be at the original club for a number of reasons and it is quite difficult to move now.

Nothing seems to have changed about Ronaldo's transfer rumour and there is nothing that will change about it Ronaldo is going nowhere, no matter the kind of effort him or his agents will put into his transfer, he will go no place. I don't think that any club is willing to accept a big player like Ronaldo now he should therefore calm himself and remain in Manchester United.
Gor the case of De Jong, he is going nowhere. Let us deal with the reality this season and wait for next season.

Despite being on the bench more often and also not getting many playing opportunities, United doesn't seem to be selling Bissaka. I don't know what made Ten Hag put him back in his ambitious plans this season. but Ten Hag should give more chances to players he rarely plays. If it's not in the plans I think United can sell him instead of thinking about the players' salaries.

The thing is that they only have two options in that position and they need to find a player who 100% wants the move. Maybe they haven't found someone who can replace Wan-Bissaka or maybe they didn't found any interest in Wan-Bissaka. Anyway he will stay now at least till the next transfer window. I don't think anything will happen with transfer window about to end.

With Mohamed Elneny long-term hamstring injury, i don’t know why Arteta is reluctant to bring in midfield reinforcements. His injury adds to a worsening situation at Arsenal with Thomas Partey also expected to miss a couple of weeks. I don’t know how Sambi and Xhaka will play together in the next couple of games. They have tight fixtures in October; Europa league, Domestic cup and EPL. It’s important that Arsenal reinforcement the midfield before tomorrow deadline. They have tougher fixtures coming up and I am afraid it will affect their performance if they don’t get someone in that midfield role.

Will that be a problem for Arsenal? they still have some midfielders like Zinchenko, Odegaard, Saka, Fabio Ferreira, Smith Rowe and Maitland. I think they can still play their other players and wait until Elneny's recover. There is no time to look for other players because of the deadline. And it's not like they need a midfielder but a striker. The reason is based on the news I read on one of the local news portals that Arsenal and Manchester United are competing to bring Marco Asensio.
Do you know about the injury problem in the squad? The first and second choice defensive midfielders are now injured. These names you mentioned aren’t defensive midfielders. They’re advanced central midfielders and wingers. How do you think they’ll play the defensive midfield position. Even before they got injured, there have been concerns about reinforcement in the midfield area. The deadline is tomorrow, there’s still time to bring someone in to fill that defensive midfield position. With the injuries that have hit the squad now, the midfield is more of a priority than any other position right now.

Right on the point!! With Elneny injury they now have two defensive midfielders- Partey and Xhaka but if they also get injured then someone needs to play out of position as they don't have more defensive midfielders. Possible that Arteta might put someone in that position but his actual role will be much more advance or in defence depending on what kind of the player he is. But yeah Arsenal will be slightly vulnerable if that happens.

I believe his presence in Chelsea squad will boost their weak defence and with age on his side and a long term contract agreement, I believe Tuchel will norture and mould this guy to a world class defender he is very young with a bright future personally I think his sign-on looks too expensive to me, just like when Man Utd signed Maguire from the same club, I hope he delivers for the club

The signing of Fafana is a good deal for the blues because the young defender still has a lot of strength in him to help in the defense line of Chelsea who are currently having issues in their defensive line. Fofana's signing fee was much but I believe this is now a norm for players coming to EPL, maybe because the deal is a long-term deal but for a player like him that deal is outrageous but considering the case of Harry Maguire who also cost £80 million to Manchester United but couldn't give a good result, I hope the situation of Fofana isn't going to be so because a lot is expected from him. Tuchel will make him do better but we should not expect him to do above his ability for now because he's still very young and may take some time to adapt to the quality we want to see in him.

Wild animals will be tame if handled by the right people, as well as soccer players. I think the performance of a player really depends on who coaches these players, that is justified despite the fact that every player can always make his own future good or bad.

Some defenders are very expensive at the moment in the Premier League, but they haven't always been impressive for their new team. Fofana is considered too expensive for Chelsea but if he is willing to work hard then I think he can do well for Chelsea this season. On the other hand, Manchester City closed the possibility of selling Bernardo Silva this season, that is the good news.

Paris is sorting out another player: Draxler. It's a shame he's not coming back to Germany, I had hoped that Frankfurt or Dortmund would get him, but not. Julian Draxler has no future in Paris, he need playing time. Benfica Lisabon and he has one agreement, he was seen at the airport in Lisabon and the contract signing maybe in few hours.

Well, it is actually looking like Ronaldo isn't going anywhere, and i just think it is because nobody wanted to buy him, rather than Manchester United not wanting him to leave, i mean, just take a look at the teams that reports claim have been interested thus far this summer, they are either teams that Ronaldo can never play in, like Athletico Madrid and Chelsea, or teams that are not really good/better than Manchester United, like Napoli, Sporting and the rest; i actually feel sorry for Ronaldo that this is happening to him at this time in his career, but the closer we get to deadline day, the more it becomes obvious that Ronaldo would not be playing Champions League football this season.

Having said that, another problem Ronaldo might likely face in Manchester United this season is playing time, he might not get as much playing time as he will want, and that might create problems between himself and the manager, but overall, whatever the outcome is, Ronaldo must act like a professional that he is, and give his very best to the team whenever he is called upon.

There is no doubt that Cristiano Ronaldo did not want to go to any of the teams that showed an interest in him. If this player had gone into those teams, it would have actually been a demotion for him. In addition, it has to be said that despite the fact that Cristiano Ronaldo is still one of the best players in the world, teams are not going to want a 37 year old player getting a very large salary when he might not even play for 90 minutes a game.

In Manchester United, Cristiano Ronaldo has already been excluded from starting the match. I also believe that he may not be able to get the late time that he is hoping for. It really is my hope that Manchester United will be able to start playing better in the future and that Cristiano Ronaldo will also be able to get back into form.
