“He is actually the bad egg in this Man United team. Until Ten Hag lets go of him, they will never smell the Champions league spot. I can bet my life on that,” former Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp urged Ten Hag to let go of one Man united player, warning that if he doesn’t, they will continue suffering and risk losing their Champions League spot next season again.
Manchester United is gearing up for a transformative summer. This off-season is particularly significant as it’s the first for Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his Ineos minority shareholder investment group, indicating that substantial changes are on the horizon.
The club is already seeing an exodus of veteran players on hefty contracts, and this trend is expected to continue. The decision to retain Erik ten Hag as manager hints at more departures. Notably, Jadon Sancho, Victor Lindelof, and other squad members might be on their way out. In this new era under Ratcliffe’s influence, no player is deemed untouchable, signaling a comprehensive overhaul of the team.
On the acquisition front, Manchester United is not sitting idle. The club has already made a bid for Everton’s promising defender Jarrad Branthwaite as soon as the window opened. Additionally, there were attempts to sign Benjamin Sesko weeks before the official start of the transfer period. The club is actively seeking a new striker, with central midfielders and centre-backs also high on their priority list. Despite these ambitions, the transfer activity has been relatively quiet so far.
However, there is still ample time for Manchester United to make significant moves before the pre-season kicks off in early July. The club’s activities will be closely watched as they navigate this critical period. MEN Sport will provide ongoing updates on all the transactions as the summer progresses.
