The last week left in the 2022 winter window is closing. For Manchester United, this winter window is deserted, so far in terms of reinforcements "no grain", in terms of departure, Martial is close to joining Sevilla on loan, and Jesse Lingard is also on The loan list of Newcastle. But in any case, there were not many expectations for United's performance in the winter window, because the highlight was in the summer window, after the official manager was determined.
Earlier, the Manchester Evening News counted 11 players united could leave this summer, and just enough to form a starting line-up. Such a large squad change, on the one hand, illustrates the poor performance of Manchester United management in the past few years in terms of reinforcements; on the other hand, it also indicates a huge change, or an opportunity for a real revival.
Goalkeeper: Dean Henderson
This is another player who has been delayed by Solskjaer. Dean Henderson's initial condition for returning to Manchester United was to be able to serve as the number one goalkeeper, and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer hoped that the youngster would be able to replace De Gea, who had been making mistakes in the past. But in the end De Gea was activated, and Dean Henderson sat on the cold bench and has only made two appearances in all competitions so far. He wanted to leave in the winter window, but the summer window was almost certain to leave. In de Gea's current state, he can still peak for at least 3 years.
Backline: Tuanzebe, Phil Jones, Bailey, Brandon Williams
"Tuanzi" once showed great potential, but the hidden dangers of injuries and illnesses were too large, which seriously hindered his development. This season on loan to Aston Villa, the winter window was reversed, and then on loan to Napoli, it is still difficult to get playing time. With only 1 year left on the contract, Manchester United has a high probability of sending it away in the summer window, which is the best to sell, otherwise it will continue to be loaned.
Phil Jones' return from injury finally got a chance to make a debut and was impressive, but he was still in the bottom line at Manchester United. He's been away from the field for over 2 years, and at that age, he needs a fresh start.
There have been many rumours of Bailey's departure in the last year, as he has always been eager to get a steady playing time, but this is difficult to achieve at Manchester United. Having been with Manchester United for more than 6 years, with only 113 appearances in total, he is also eager to leave for a new environment.
B Wei was promoted to the first team by the boss and once showed good talent, but ultimately failed to gain a foothold. This season's loan has improved significantly at Norwich, but there is still a lack of enthusiasm to play at Manchester United, and his future is still on loan or permanent transfer.
Midfielders: Van der Beek, Pogba, Mata
The 3-man midfielder is absolutely European first-class, but they are almost certainly leaving in the summer window. Van der Beek's joining Manchester United was a mistake, and it has been reported in the media that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer does not really want the Dutch midfielder. Whether it is during the so-called period or now after Lonnick has joined the team, he has difficulty finding opportunities to play, his patience has been exhausted, and leaving the team is inevitable.
United have raised their weekly salary to £400,000, but Pogba is still not satisfied, and it is a high probability event to delay becoming a free agent this summer. Once a free agent, pogba's ability is not short of suitors, and Greater Paris is waiting for an opportunity.
Juan Mata is United's absolute fringe player, making just three cup appearances this season. His contract expires in the summer and Real Sociedad is interested in waiving visas.
Forwards: Martial, Cavani, Jesse Lingard
These 3 people are also mandatory. The winter window was short, and Martial had to leave the team on loan. In the summer, his agent will be fully committed to the development of the transfer. If Sevilla have performed well, the transfer will be much easier.
Cavani wanted to leave at the end of last season, but was persuaded by Solskjaer to continue for another year. However, due to the serious squeeze on the playing time caused by the addition of C Ronaldo, Cavani also wanted to leave in the winter window, and Ronnick did not allow it. But when his contract expires in the summer, he has a high probability of returning to South America.
If Jesse Lingard fails to transfer permanently in the winter window, the summer window must go. And West Ham is the most likely next home.
Such an 11-man squad has beaten most of the middle and lower Premier League teams from the card, but it is difficult for this group of people to get a stable playing time at Manchester United. How good are United's main players? Not necessarily. In short, there will be a big change at Manchester United this summer, and the showtime that belongs to Lonnick is coming. The veteran coach who is well versed in team building will use his strong scouting network and sharp selection vision to help Manchester United's new coach build a new and energetic "new era red devil", we will wait and see!
