Manchester United just cannot catch a break on the pitch with yet another result last night against FC Porto where in all fairness, they were lucky to come out of with a point.
The Portuguese side looked miles clear of the Red Devils on the night. If not for Harry Maguire’s stoppage-time equalizer, it would have been yet another loss for the Red Devils.

Erik ten Hag seems clueless on how to turn the situation around and his substitution of Marcus Rashford last night was the height of ridiculousness.
This however has not stopped the club from being linked with transfers for potential superstars in the market. As per TDF, Man Utd have already moved in and made contact to sign talented French playmaker, Ousmane Dembele from PSG.
Once ridiculed for his injury issues and inconsistencies at Barcelona, Dembele has turned over a new leaf in the past three seasons. His last one and a half years at the Catalan club was impressive with Xavi Hernandez bringing the best out of him.
Since his move to PSG at the beginning of last season, he has emerged as one of the club’s most consistent players. He was an assist machine for the Ligue 1 giants last season and this time, he has added goalscoring to his arsenal as well.
Four goals and four assists in seven games to start off the season show the good form the former Dortmund man is in. One would only hope that the Frenchman can keep his fitness and consistency through the campaign and he would be a good signing for Man Utd.
The report claims that a fee of around £50.4m could be sufficient for Man Utd to sign Ousmane Dembele in this winter. The question is why would the 27-year-old would entertain a move to Old Trafford except for maybe the chance to play in the Premier League?
If the Red Devils were to sign Dembele, he surely cannot be worse than some of the wide options that we have at the club currently. However, this seems like a very unrealistic transfer and let’s wait and see how it goes.
