Manchester United's summer transfer window was anything but uneventful, with player movements stirring the waters at Old Trafford. However, it seems manager Ruben Amorim had his eyes on further additions to enhance the team.

The start to the season has been a wild ride for fans, especially after last year’s disappointments. With an impressive £200 million splurge in the transfer market, expectations were high. Yet, the squad stumbled out of the gate, suffering a loss against Arsenal and a frustrating draw with Fulham.

Things took a drastic turn for the worse when United fell victim to League Two side Grimsby Town in the Carabao Cup, marking one of the worst results in the club's recent history. They finally clinched their first win against Burnley, but dissatisfaction still looms over the club as they head into international duty.

Transfer Talks and Disappointments

Amorim, despite the hefty investments, remained restless. Sources indicate he was keen on signing Bournemouth's Antoine Semenyo and even dined with the forward in London to gauge his character. Discussions involved club CEO Omar Berrada and transfer chief Jason Wilcox; however, their efforts were ultimately fruitless as Semenyo opted to renew his contract with the Cherries.

Garnacho's Hurdles at Chelsea

In related news, Chelsea is facing a potential challenge with Alejandro Garnacho, who made a £40 million move from Manchester United just days before the transfer window closed. Garnacho’s transition hasn’t been smooth; he missed pre-season training with United and is now feeling the pressure at his new club. After his first training session with the Blues, he humorously remarked, 'Can’t move my legs now man… I sprinted in the last one.'

Casemiro's Controversial International Duty

Meanwhile, Manchester’s Casemiro had a brush with controversy during his international duty with Brazil. The midfielder was lucky to avoid a red card during a World Cup qualifying match against Chile, where he appeared to intentionally stand on an opponent's leg. Although only issued a yellow card, the incident raised eyebrows and sparked debate, leaving many questioning the referee's decision.
