Jamie Carragher feels Manchester United's scattergun-approach to signing a new central midfielder has made them a 'laughing stock around the world.'
After chasing Barcelona's Frenkie de Jong for months, United have quickly switched their attention to Adrien Rabiot and then Casemiro in recent weeks, older players with very different styles.
The rush to sign a midfielder comes after United failed to replace the departing Paul Pogba all summer, and losses in the first two weeks of the season against Brighton and Brentford have made the problem all the more apparent.
