Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag confirmed that Mason Mount was substituted at half-time due to injury in the 2-1 defeat to Brighton. Jadon Sancho's future remains uncertain, with Ten Hag urging him and the entire squad to compete for their places amidst transfer rumors linking Sancho to PSG, Juventus, Barcelona, and Chelsea. Ten Hag also highlighted the potential of Alejandro Garnacho, though he cautioned that the young talent still has a long way to go to reach world-class status. New signings Joshua Zirkzee and Leny Yoro have had mixed starts; Zirkzee scored in his debut, while Yoro is sidelined with an injury and faces tough competition for a starting spot. Additionally, United are reportedly close to signing Manuel Ugarte from PSG, further bolstering their squad.
