With the winter transfer window approaching, the big teams in the five major leagues have begun to compete for the right players in the transfer market to strengthen the team lineup. However, from the practice of European football, there are not many good players in the winter transfer market, and most big teams will not let the important players in the team leave the team in the middle of the season. For United, they have done a pretty good signing in the winter transfer window, and that is Bruno Fernandez. The arrival of the Portugal international was an immediate boost to the overall strength of the team.
Before Cristiano Ronaldo returned to the team, although Manchester United also had superstar-level players like Pogba, it was clear to the discerning eye that Bruno Fernandez was the real core player of this team. Especially on the offensive end, Bruno Fernandez has an exceptional talent. As a forward player, he has excellent passing vision and passing footwork, and his ability to read the game is also world-class, he can find the gaps in the opposing defense line at the first time, and use accurate passing to give the opponent a fatal blow. In addition to his world-class passing organization, what is even more remarkable is that Bruno Fernandez also has the same excellent shooting ability as a striker, and when given the opportunity, his finishing ability is not inferior to any player in the Manchester United team. Moreover, due to his ability to read the game, he also has a good grasp of the timing of passing and shooting, which makes the team's offensive choices more reasonable.
Objectively speaking, however, Bruno Fernandez's form this season has not met expectations. Judging from the performance on the field, Bruno Fernandes has no problem with C Ronaldo, and he always does his best to create opportunities for C Ronaldo in the game. Ronaldo has been able to score so many goals this season, which is inseparable from the support of Bruno Fernandez. The problem with Bruno Fernandez, however, is that his contribution has declined markedly. This season, Bruno Fernandez has contributed only five goals and three assists in 16 league appearances, which is not the same as his previous efficiency. On the pitch, Bruno Fernandez lost his sense of elegance and was no longer so relaxed when facing the opposing side's defense. For Manchester United manager Ronnick, how to reactivate the 27-year-old midfielder will be the first issue he faces. Whether Bruno Fernandez can regain his form will directly determine the team's ceiling this season.
With the exception of Bruno Fernandez, most of United's players in the forward line are not in ideal shape. Jesse Lingard and Anthony Martial have been left on the bench for most of the time, and their United careers are likely to have come to an end, putting on the shirts of other teams as soon as the winter break. Rashford's sluggish form this season has puzzled United fans. One of the team's core players in the front line, Marcus Rashford has scored just three goals in 12 Premier League and Champions League matches this season, averaging just 0.25 goals per game. In the league, Marcus Rashford's average number of passes per game, the number of key passes, the success rate of passes and other statistics have declined significantly, averaging only 6.52 points per game, which can only rank fifteenth in the Manchester United team. However, Rashford's position in the team is still solid, and with Ronaldo 36 years old, Rashford and Sancho are still the forward players that the team needs to rely on most in the future.
Relatively speaking, the situation of the team's other attacker, Greenwood, is not very optimistic. This season, Greenwood was once the absolute main force of the team, but his performance on the field has always been unconvincing, although he scored 4 goals in the league, but more often, Greenwood gave people the feeling that the choice of shooting timing was unreasonable, and the cooperation with frontal teammates such as C Ronaldo was not in place. Greenwood then began to slowly lose his starting position in the team. In his few playing hours, he didn't perform very well most of the time. According to the Mirror, Greenwood is not happy with the situation he is facing and believes he deserves more playing time. Greenwood has made a move away as one of his options, and if the right opportunity arises, he is willing to go to a team that can trust him more. Arsenal are interested in signing Greenwood. In Arteta's view, Greenwood was able to have a good "chemical reaction" with Saka, Smith rowe and others. Greenwood is worth €50 million in the transfer market and his contract with the team has three and a half years to expire.
Relatively speaking, after the arrival of Lonnick, Manchester United's talented goalscorer Erlanga has a lot of opportunities. This is also very much in line with Ronnick's long-standing habit of using young players. In the last 3 games, Eranga have been given a start and a chance to come off the bench. According to the Manchester Evening News, United have decided to offer the 19-year-old young striker a long-term contract. It is foreseeable that under Lonnick's command, There will be more opportunities for Erlanga this season. (The picture comes from the Internet, if there is infringement, please contact to delete)
