Transfer speculation continues to mount as Tyrick Mitchell has been linked in recent days with a move to Manchester United. The defender, currently playing for Crystal Palace, could add a new dimension to the squad if the rumoured interest turns into an official approach before the end of the transfer window. Until a fee and conditions are finalised, the deal remains vulnerable to disruption - especially if Liverpool decide to make a formal offer of their own in the coming days. This season (26/27) Manchester United have shipped 8 goals in 5 matches - 1.6 a game, which is well above the Premier League average. Tyrick Mitchell would be expected to come in and help tighten things up at the back. Reports suggest Manchester United are monitoring Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Ibrahim Maza and Mohamed Kader Meite whereas Crystal Palace have not been associated with other players at this stage.
