Last season, under Erik ten Hag’s leadership, was the worst Premier League season ever for Manchester United, this season also started badly and now Sporting have their very successful manager Rúben Amorim.
Manchester United, who have one of the most expensive squads of all time, can’t win games. In 15 Premier League rounds, there have only been 19 points. – It is further up to league leader Liverpool than down to Ipswich in the first relegation place.
Rúben Amorim, who has lost the last two games in the Premier League, will according to Sky Sport be allowed to build his system, the system he had success with at Sporting, just like Erik ten Hag, was allowed to build “his Manchester United” on the same basis as the success with Ajax.
The overwriting is probably a bit exaggerated, but if he is to bring in some of the world’s best players, you have to pay, while expensive players with a poor track record must be sold at a loss at the same time as they have to accept a pay cut at the next club. – It is basically bad economy, but even worse when those who come in have to be compensated for lack of games in Europe.
Manchester United already have a huge deficit in the transfer market over the last ten years minus 584 million euros, with Paul Pogba accounting for the largest at 110 million euros.
It is already balanced on a very thin one with regard to Uefa and the Premier League’s sustainability rules, another bad year, where players who do not master Amorim’s system, lack of games in Europe and loss of both TV and sponsorship money is the recipe for getting such large deficits that they are punished.
The Premier League has become much tougher in enforcing the rules, points deductions, exclusion from the transfer market is not at all impossible. You could say that Britain’s richest Sir Jim Ratcliffe has bought the cat in the bag, even though he is now actively involved in making bad decisions.
Sky Sport journalist Florian Plettenberg writes that Rúben Amorim is expected to make a lot of changes at his new club. Half of the Manchester United squad are “serious candidates” to be sold either in the upcoming January window or in the summer window, as long as good offers appear.
Rúben Amorim has been given the opportunity to rebuild the squad, and then a bunch of sales are needed in the near future. The players who are “unsellable” are Amad Diallo, Kobbie Mainoo, Noussair Mazraoui, Matthijs de Ligt, Leny Yoro, André Onana and two to three other key players, according to Sky.
During the day, the Daily Telegraph reported that Marcus Rashford could be sold – to buy Viktor Gyökeres. In addition, Talksport wrote that the “Red Devils” are open to sending away left-back Lisandro Martinez this summer.
Manchester United are in 13th place in the Premier League. – The only smart thing now would be to focus on the players you have, Manchester United are not many bad decisions away from the Championship.
Winning the Champions League gives about 140 million euros in extra income, certainly more in the future.
