Man United brought in a left-sided wing-back in the January window, but their failure to sign a striker could be very costly.
Transfer deadline day failed to produce the happy ending to the January window that Manchester United's supporters were dreaming of.
With the January window now closed for business, MEN Sport has analysed United's window, picking out three positives and two negatives:United wrapped up the signing of Dorgu from Italian side Lecce for an initial £25million fee on Sunday. He arrived in Manchester on Saturday, passed his medical the same day and was unveiled to the Old Trafford faithful ahead of the 2-0 defeat to Crystal Palace on Sunday.
His temporary switch to Real Betis, which does not include the option for the Spanish club to sign him permanently in the summer, is a move that suits all parties. The best United can now hope for is that he has a successful second half of the season and drives up his value in preparation for being offloaded permanently in the summer.
The United hierarchy have begun to evolve the club's recruitment strategy and the addition of Heaven is in line with that vision. United raided Arsenal for Chido Obi-Martin in the summer and they have followed suit with the capture of Heaven. In addition to signing a left wing-back, getting a striker through the door had to be a priority for United. They considered swoops for Bayern Munich's Mathys Tel and Christopher Nkunku of Chelsea but nothing came to fruition.
