Erik ten Hag and Diogo Dalot
Erik ten Hag and Diogo Dalot endured a disappointing afternoon for the new manager's first game in charge

Chris Sutton, a pundit for the British Broadcasting Corporation, says the news of Manchester United's move for a player is a PR disaster.

Since the start of the new manager's tenure, United have also been linked with a player from the Italian club.

"I don't think it's right to think about signing someone," said Sutton. I didn't think it was a real spoof.

After scoring 43 goals in 184 games in the English premier league, he moved to Chinese side Shanghai Port.

Bologna signed a two-year deal with the Austria international, who scored 14 goals in 33 games.

"It's a real wrong move in terms of the eyes of the supporters, that's what I'm saying," he said. There are more than one million other players out there. I can't understand that.

It's a disaster. Ten Hag is going to be under a lot of pressure if Arnautovich comes in.

Frenkie de Jong was pursued by United all summer, and now they're linked with Arnautovich.

After you've got your number one signing, you'll get a signing fromArnautovic.

It shouldn't be announced at this time. He should be going through the back door to get into the building.

There doesn't seem to be a plan. They don't want to go to United now.

Fans would ask why they weren't going for the top players because of the club's size.

Caicedo has established himself in the starting line-up and the Seagulls made a lot of money by selling Cucurella to the Blues.

"If you look at Cucurella, you'll see that they're paying a risk premium," said journalistRory Smith. The risk that he might not adapt or settle, then the risk that he's proven, then the risk that he's paid his true worth.

It's not possible for United to buy a left-back from Getafe for that amount of money. They should be able to get players who aren't in the league to join them by saying, "we can get you there by adding five or six of you together"

If Ten Hag said, "I need patience, we're going to bring young players in, we're going to develop them, you're going to have to bear with me for two seasons", the fans would buy that.

Manchester United has been damaged in the last 24 hours. They seem to be making it up as they go along.

'We have to analyse and do better' - Dalot

There were some positives to take from Sunday's loss, which was United's first defeat in the league this season.

The Portugal full-back was asked if positive results would take a long time. This result won't stop us from going where we need to go.

We have to analyse and do better now that it is a blow.

There were still positive things to say. We had some good plays in the second half and we were more organized. We will have some time this week to organize and do better for the game.

Some sections of the crowd booed on Sunday and Dalot said it was not an issue.

We have to push them with us as well. They need to be happy to watch us.
