For United, the team's ranking in the standings has also been affected by the postponement of their last round of matches. They are in sixth place, with a 17-point gap between the top teams, but with the advantage of two games less. Objectively speaking, under Lonnick, this Manchester United team has shown gratifying changes in many aspects. Both on the offensive and defensive ends, United have become more competitive. Although the title is somewhat out of reach for this team, Ronnick's team still has enough advantages in the competition for the top four.
For Ronnick and his team, if they want to perform better in the second half of the season, they must stick to the tactical thinking of the last two games. Especially in terms of high-level pressing, the team even has to do better. From Cristiano Ronaldo and Sancho in the front line, to Bruno Fernandez and Pogba in the midfield position, they must try to take on more defensive tasks. For these players who are not known for their defense, defense does not seem to be their main responsibility, but from the perspective of the whole team, they need to change the thinking of the game and make more contributions to the offensive and defensive balance of the whole team. Only in this way can United truly become a whole, under the premise of solid defense, and then through the efficient performance of the offensive end to achieve the desired result of the game.
In addition to this, in terms of the squad, United also need to make some adjustments. Especially in the center position, although the team has two world-class shooters C Ronaldo and Cavani, from the point of view of paper strength, they seem to be able to sit back and relax in this position, but from the performance of this half season, these two players have not achieved the expected effect. Cristiano Ronaldo's goalscoring efficiency was unsatisfactory, scoring seven goals in 13 league games, averaging 0.54 goals per game. Although this is already the most goal-efficient player in the Manchester United team, if you consider his previous performances, such efficiency also seems to be lower than the team expected. In contrast, in the Champions League, Ronaldo performed even better, scoring six times in five games and averaging 1.2 goals per game. It can be said that C Ronaldo in the Champions League is the Portuguese superstar that fans are more familiar with.
With Ronaldo firmly in the main position, Cavani has had a hard time getting a steady playing time this season. This, coupled with his long injury troubles, has left him rather disappointed with his situation this season. In the Premier League, Cavani made five appearances, with a total of only 212 minutes, averaging only 42 or 4 minutes per game, less than halftime. In the Champions League, Cavani has fewer chances, he has never been given a start, and his total playing time is only 60 minutes, averaging only 20 minutes per game. In this case, Cavani, who is on the edge, seems to have already made up his mind. Sources say Cavani is close to reaching an agreement with Barca to move to camp nou in the winter transfer window. While Corinthians are also interested in signing Cavani and offer a higher salary than Barca, there is little hope that Edani will go to the Baliga.
With Cavani almost certain to leave the team, Anthony Martial, another Manchester United player who can play as a centre-forward, is also upset that he can't get enough opportunities. Judging from the current situation, it is also possible that Martial will choose to go to La Liga. For United, if Cavani and Martial leave the team at the same time, they will inevitably need to find a suitable rotation player for Cristiano Ronaldo in the center position. According to transfer expert Hernan Castillo, United are interested in River Plate's goalscorer Julian Alvarez, who has made a formal offer to show their determination to win the excellent shot. This season, Julian Alvarez has played quite well in the Aliga, scoring 18 goals in 21 league games and delivering 6 assists, making him the league's top scorer. In the transfer market, Julian Alvarez is worth 20 million euros. However, with his contract still a year to go, United are expected to sign the Argentina international for a relatively low transfer fee.
In addition, in the midfield position, Manchester United's reinforcements are also imperative. It is reported that Lonnick has always hoped to have a back player with excellent ball possession. Originally, from the technical point of view, Nemanja Matic was very much in line with Ronnick's requirements, but because he was 33 years old and his state had declined significantly, he was unable to take on this responsibility. So the team had to look to the transfer market. According to El Nacional, United are watching Real Madrid's 19-year-old midfielder Camaranga. The talented player, who is worth €55 million, has struggled to get enough playing time at Real Madrid this season, making just five league starts. However, Carlo Ancelotti appreciates Camaringa, and it is not easy for United to sign him without the players voluntarily proposing to leave the team.
