There is not much news about Manchester United's reinforcements, because their squad is already luxurious enough, but after Lonnick took office, there are constant news that some players want to leave the team. Objectively speaking, some of the world-class stars in the Manchester United squad may not be what Lonnick likes, especially in the formation and tactics that cannot be adapted, such as C Ronaldo, Pogba, Greenwood. But Manchester United are determined not to sell Cristiano Ronaldo, and promised to have an absolute main position, and Lonnick can only find a way in other positions.
Because Ronnick is pursuing the ultimate high-level pressing tactics, C Luo is occasionally forced to run a few more steps, but the core is that he needs midfielders with large coverage and excellent running ability to press the team. Neither van der Beek, Fred nor McTominay could fully meet Ronnick's requirements. Therefore, it has been reported that Manchester United is close to winning the Leipzig midfielder Heidara, the cost-effective player can execute Lonnick's tactics well, the key transfer fee is not expensive, 30 million euros can be sold.
However, now Manchester United have suddenly made a strong pursuit of another midfielder, as if pressing the transfer acceleration button, and the willingness to take down Milan midfielder Casey is very strong. Casey is only 25 years old but is already one of the best midfielders in Serie A, he is an absolute mainstay for Milan, having made 20 appearances this season, scoring 3 goals and 1 assist. His goal-scoring ability is just as good as his defensive ability, scoring 14 goals with ease last season, and he is among the best midfielders in Serie A.
His contract extension with Milan has been disturbing, and the biggest possibility is to follow the example of former teammate Donnarumma to leave the team for free and join the stronger giants to get a higher annual salary. Milan are indeed reluctant to offer an annual salary of more than 8 million euros, and Casey is also very insistent on such a demand, and his confidence is related to being pursued by many giants. Tottenham and Paris are both suitors and sincere, with both giants willing to offer an annual salary of 10 million euros.
Casey is facing new choice troubles, and now that United have suddenly entered the game, it may be easier for Casey to make a choice. First of all, Manchester United interim manager Ronnick wants the team to have two No. 6 players, and Casey is the type of player. Can go up and down, can grab and run, can shoot and pass, and more importantly, has a strong physical confrontation ability, there is no problem in coping with Premier League matches. The second is the opportunity to become the core of Manchester United's midfield, which cannot be achieved at Tottenham, Paris.
Finally, and crucially, Lonnick is a Bole player, while Tottenham's Conte and Paris's Pochettino are not capable of better developing his comprehensive capabilities. It's even easier for United to match his annual salary needs, as sending Pogba for free leaves a lot of pay space. Once United let Casey and Hydara form a double-back combination, it may become the hardest midfielder in the Premier League, and Manchester United are also prepared for The Pursuit of Casey.
Because Haidara had a torn cruciate ligament, Casey's arrival also had the effect of filling the gap in his teammates. However, the transfer of these two men is only a rumor, but Manchester United generally rarely raises the price on these African players, so there is more reason to believe that Manchester United is really serious about pursuing them. Combined with Manchester United's tradition of investing heavily in the new manager, it is no surprise that Casey has been given a big contract, and Lonnick's shot can basically beat Tottenham and Paris. Will Casey be one of United's best midfielders? Worth looking forward to.
