Man Utd chiefs 'admit three transfer mistakes' despite splashing £85m on new duo

Manchester United officials have reportedly acknowledged several transfer mistakes this summer, privately admitting that Andrey Santos and Youri Tielemans were a 'long way down the list' in their summer priorities. Senior figures have also indicated there is some regret over failing to recruit a left-back. United's draw with Tottenham over the weekend has left the club enduring their worst league start in 40 years, collecting just six points from their opening six fixtures. Questions are already mounting about United's squad, which has appeared lacking in confidence during the early stages of the campaign, after an encouraging finish to last season.
