Ralph Lonnick has signed a six-month firefighting coaching contract with Manchester United, and a two-year consultancy contract after next summer, but the job he faces is not just to put out fires.
Leading the team to play well is only one aspect, and there are many things off the pitch that make Lang Shuai scratch his head. For example, Manchester United's huge first-team squad, the prospects of many players are uncertain, like French twin stars Martial and Pogba, who have never been the masters of peace of mind.
With the opening of the European winter transfer window on January 1 getting closer and closer, the decision of some players to stay must not be delayed any longer.
French midfielder Pogba's contract expires on 30 June 2022, and negotiations for a contract extension between Manchester United and Pogba remain unrecovered. According to FIFA regulations, when the player's contract is still half a year left, he can freely negotiate transfers with overseas league teams.
According to media reports such as Manchester Evening News, Milan Sports, sportsmole and other media, Lonnick will rule on Pogba's contract. Rangnick took a hard look at Pogba's situation and decided he wasn't worth a contract extension for Manchester United.
The German boss believes Pogba should not be offered a new contract with better terms than his current contract. 【The German manager believes that Pogba does not deserve a new offer that has improved terms compared to his current deal. 】
Pogba currently earns £290,000 a week at Manchester United, and according to previous reports, United are willing to pay a weekly salary close to De Gea's in order to retain Pogba. But Pogba agent Rayola thought it was not enough and demanded £500,000 for his client Lion.
Considering Pogba's attendance and contribution to Manchester United after joining, it is clear that Lonnick's views are more realistic. But it is not clear whether United management will support Ronnick's judgment.
There is no doubt that Pogba's abilities have never been the focus of the mystery fans' doubts. What really questioned and criticized him was his loyalty to the team and his sense of responsibility on the pitch.
From 2016 to now, more than 5 years, under the command of several coaches, we have watched too many games, there are clubs, there are also national teams, for pogba's evaluation of this player, I think many people have the answer.
What Mo Shao wants to say is that we must firmly support the coach's decision and the players must play for the club wholeheartedly to be valuable. This will be one of the necessary steps to restore Manchester United's status as a top club, as we have gone backwards in the last 9 years and the Red Devils' standards have fallen sharply. The club is filled with jerks, fish-touching characters from top to bottom, which is embarrassing.
Pogba needs to look at himself in the mirror and ask himself if he deserves a pay rise. In a way, it doesn't matter whether Pogba is going or staying, and it's no surprise that he left Manchester United for free for the second time, Manchester United has lost the initiative in the game. But it is important that United set a standard of judgment and not compromise on its execution.
