After Ferguson's retirement, United entered a long and iterative rebuild. In the past 8 years, in order to restore the glory of Sir Fou as soon as possible, Manchester United have become the protagonists in almost every summer transfer window, except for Moyes, the next two managers have set new signing records in their tenure, Di Maria in Van Gaal and Pogba in Mourinho. The Solskjaer era produced a transfer fee record for 2 positions, Maguire with 80 million pounds and 10 million- Pizzaca with 50 million pounds.
So much investment, but United's results can not be directly proportional, which is also the main factor in the dismissal of the previous 3 managers. Now that Lonnick is in charge, where will United's reinforcement strategy go? Is it continuing to spend a lot of money on the revival like the previous managers? This is not known at this time. But Lonnick differs from his predecessors in that he has the attributes of a football director. Good at finding young players and cultivating them to fame, in this process his value can be maximized, of course, the sense of achievement is also the highest.
Therefore, it is not excluded that Lonnick brought this habit to Manchester United, changing the image of "people with stupid money" in the past, and using the least cost to get the most generous returns. In this regard, the reporter of the Manchester Evening News specially wrote an article to make suggestions to Lonnick. He thinks he can try to find talent in the Championship, because many clubs have tasted sweetness in this field in the past.
The media analysis said that Manchester United is a club that likes to sign big-name players. But despite the wide reach of the club's scouting network, it is undeniable that most of the players they sign are from the top European leagues. These players are generally overvalued, and of course the risks are exponentially increasing. Although Manchester United signed Daniel James from the Championship in the summer 2019 window ultimately failed to gain a foothold, it is undeniable that many teams have found treasure in the Championship. Examples include Danjuma, Madison, Bowen, and Bellingham, who is now popular at Dot.
United's signings could improve significantly under Lonnick' helm, and germany's veterans like to dig up young players, which is important for the club. After all, there will always be some talented players in the lower leagues, just need to find them before they become household names.
I have to say that Man Wan's suggestion is very reasonable. The competition in any industry is, in the final analysis, the competition of talents. Giants generally have stronger purchasing power, especially Manchester United. But after countless experiences of "parallel goods" and "performance and value" in the past, the United executives should reflect on the reinforcement strategy and make corrections. Why do Manchester United always have to buy young people from other teams at a high price? Why is it that after the arrival of so many heavy reinforcements, there is a situation of dissatisfaction with the water and soil, and finally racking their brains to send them away at a low price?
It is no exaggeration to say that if it were not for the club's strong ability to absorb money, Manchester United is not expected to be in much better position today than Barca. Pogba, who was introduced at £89 million, is about to become a free agent, while United's midfield still needs reinforcements. If it was another coach, it might be, but Lonnick certainly wouldn't, because he was looking at the team from the perspective of a director, considering a sustainable development path that was beneficial to the club. So while he admired Bellingham, he preferred to find his "Bellingham" rather than to dig up heavy money from Dort.
The success of Villarreal, Leicester City and West Ham shows that the Championship is indeed a treasure trove of talent. But for Ronnick, his vision will certainly not be limited to the Championship, and the Olympic Super League, the Norwegian Super League, the Portuguese Premier League and other european lower leagues will also become his targets. In short, he can find those potential stocks that have not yet become famous with his own eyes, which is his ability and the main reason why Manchester United like him.
