Manchester United, who have started the season on a slow note, continued their downward spiral in a closed-door warm-up match on Wednesday (23), swallowing three eggs against the newly-promoted Bonny Boys, a performance that disappointed team leader Jens Tannhäuser. According to French newspaper L'Equipe, United are set to add to their ranks before the end of the transfer window, with French midfielder Tudibor of Nice rumored to be close to joining the club for a transfer fee of 34 million pounds (about HK$340 million).
Manchester United started the season with 1 win and 1 loss, winning the first game against Wolves but performing poorly, and swallowing Tottenham Hotspur's 2 eggs in the last game. Before the match against Nottingham Forest on Saturday (26th), Tannhäuser arranged a warm-up match at the training base in Carrington, against newly-promoted Bonny's. The match was played with 7 first team players, including Anthony Martial, McTominney, Wendy Bickle and others. United have used seven first-team players to bring in newcomers, including Anthony Martial, McDonald Minnie, Wendy Bickle and many more.
Although Man Utd. are only half-strength, their reserves are not in good shape. Especially after Mason Monty's injury, he will have to wait for 1 month, while McDonald and Wendy Bick have a chance to play, but they are not good enough for Bonny, so they suffered a 3-egg defeat in the end. Many of the first team players are on the sales list of Tannhäuser, and their chances of staying in the team after the loss are even slimmer.
