Manchester United has failed again. Once again, the Old Trafford team has not been able to enter the Champions League, symptom of the new financial disaster that is coming to the North of England cluba, where Erik Ten Hag has not known how, almost since he arrived, to find the key to consolidate the Red Devils, at least, in the top 5 of the Premier.
He still has four games left to take away Tottenham’s Europa League place and, despite everything, a ‘last dance’ this season in the FA Cup final with its almighty neighborManchester City, who have already beaten them twice this season.
Before this panorama, Sir Jim Ratcliffevisible face of the gigantic company Ineos and majority owner of the club, does not want that in his first full year at the head of the Manchester United do not achieve the objectives theyeven though he himself is a Red Devil fan, generate substantial dividends for shareholders.
Thus, and with half a year already supervising all the blind spots of Manchester United’s management, Everything indicates that next summer the Big Clean will finally be faced in the Old Trafford locker room. And of course, faced with this possibility, the English press is rubbing its hands, as well as its wallet, because the bets have already begun on who the club wants to get rid of, either to make money or to make room in the locker room.
Ten Hag, the first?
It is not one of the names that sounds the loudest in this clean, which some already describe as gigantic, almost at the level of the potential of Ineos itself. The Dutch coach himself has already publicly expressed the fluidity and good atmosphere that has been generated in the club with the arrival of Jim Ratcliffe.
However, that does not mean that United’s own results condemn Ten Hag, who has undoubtedly torpedoed with more or less intensity and at various times since its arrival in 2022the stability of the team, facing in many cases several of the sacred cows of the squad.
Ten Hag, confident with Ratcliffe: “We are aligned”
Labeled as having little left hand and a temperament that clashes with egos, perhaps what undermines the projection the most in Ten Hag’s future has been the money he has squandered on transferssome of them could be said to be doubtful due to the performance they have later given.
Likewise, names have also emerged as possible replacements for Erik Ten Hag. Among them, that of Thomas Tuchel,that, or much would have to change the situation, will come out of the Bayern Munich even winning the Champions League.
Rashford and… How many more?
As we stressed before, in this mega clean it would be necessary to differentiate between the players who They would be sold to make cash and those called to leave to make room in the squad.
Marcus Rashford eHe is one of the players who, without a doubt, would be in the first group. His performance has been the subject of criticism all year, like that of many other top United players, such as Casemiro, Varane, Maguire, Antony, Eriksen, Mount, Amrabat. The list could even be extended to two other of his checkbook signings, such as Rasmus Hojlund about André Onana.
Ten Hag punishes Rashford for his party: “It is unacceptable”
But the English international is a special case since, as many analysts have suggested this season, including two former Red Devils like Gary Neville or Waybe Rooney, Rasfhord has not looked happy.
This, together with his few records (eight goals in all competitions) and the fact that he is already seen as substitute for Kylian Mbappé at Paris Saint Germainfuels rumors that it is possible that good old Marcus seeks better fortune outside the Premier League.
More wood
Together with him, the English press focuses heavily on a large number of players who, as they describe, have not measured up. So much so that most newspapers talk about keeping some young and thriving value, such as Grenache, Mainoo, Hojlund himself, and stay with a few accomplished legends, among whom Bruno Fernandes undoubtedly stands out. The rest would be transferable.
“The first thing we have to do is get the right people in the right boxes to manage and organize the club and make sure we recruit correctly. It is a vital part of running a football club today.find new players,” Sir Jim Ratcliffe himself acknowledged recently, insisting that “The solution is not to spend a lot of money on a couple of great players.”
To this end, he has already met with several important agents, among which J stands out.barley Mendes, to support a company of mammoth dimensions. Will he get it?
