CRISTIANO RONALDO and Harry Maguire are two of FIVE Manchester United players that have demanded transfers in a crisis meeting with the board.
The Red Devils sit bottom of the Premier League table after two games following back-to-back defeats – including a drubbing at the hands of Brentford on Saturday.
New manager Erik ten Hag is already under pressure to improve the side’s form just over two months into his reign as head coach.
And he is hoping more new faces will be brought in before the end of the summer transfer window.
But with only Tyrell Malacia, Lisandro Martinez and Christian Eriksen having arrived so far, FIVE current United stars have now urged United chiefs to ensure they bolster the squad.
According to The Mirror, Ronaldo, Maguire, Marcus Rashford, Luke Shaw and Bruno Fernandes have told the club they need more signings to help them out this season.

Meanwhile, the pursuit of Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong continues to rumble on, with United’s offer having now expired.

Among the other players linked with a move to Old Trafford include Atletico Madrid forward Matheus Cunha, Barcelona star Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Paris Saint-Germain striker Mauro Icardi.
