Manchester United FLOP has left Old Trafford this morning to join Saudi Arabia side in £50 miilin move
If any Manchester United supporter said that the summer transfer window is not much more significant than previous ones, they are lying.
Following an unsatisfactory eighth-place Premier League season, co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe must declare his objectives for the football team as he approaches his first summer transfer window. According to early hypotheses, the British billionaire is trying to be economical during the transfer season, which makes sense given the significant summertime net expenditures in prior years.
This does not imply, though, that the creator of INEOS will get away with cutting corners on some of the major holes in this squad. Therefore, MEN Sport has looked at the tasks that the club has to accomplish before the summer’s drama starts.
Ten Hag reached a choice.
We’re hoping to wrap everything up early next week, but before any rebuilding can start, Ratcliffe needs to decide what to do with Ten Hag. The longer May goes on, the more sense it seems to retain the Dutchman as manager for the upcoming campaign.
This summer at Old Trafford, there will be a lot of change, so some familiarity is necessary. You may have assumed following the crushing defeat at Crystal Palace that the team had given up on Ten Hag and were actively plotting his departure, but they have responded admirably ever since, with the FA Cup triumph serving as the cherry on top.
Ten Hag also benefits from the manager market’s dearth of choices. The recent relegation of Burnley’s manager, Vincent Kompany, to Bayern Munich is evidence of how limited the pool of qualified managers is.
The only sure upgrade on Ten Hag is Zinedine Zidane, and there’s little to no chance that he’ll show up.
Branthwaite indicators
Getting a center-back should be the next top priority after ensuring Ten Hag’s future. There has to be at least one more starter added to the mix because Lisandro Martinez and Harry Maguire are the only central defenders who are assured for the upcoming campaign.
MEN Sport is aware that Jarrad Branthwaite of Everton is a player of interest and that he aligns with the type of player United is trying to develop. He is a gifted player who will only become stronger, especially if he is selected for Gareth Southgate’s 26-man Euro 2024 squad as is predicted.
At just 21 years old, Branthwaite is undoubtedly an investment that might show to be a brilliant one in a few of years, even though he could cost up to £80 million.
