This winter window, Manchester United confidently rented players everywhere, and rented out 2 players in succession for the winger position alone. Anthony Martial joined Sevilla as he wished, with Amade Diarlo coming to the aid of the Scottish Rangers and scoring his debut goal in his debut. Just when the outside world praised manchester United's 2 operations, unexpected things happened.
Yes, it's Greenwood, the Manchester United youth pride who has never been very comfortable, has another accident. In the past, the disaster was usually in the offseason, and Manchester United still had room to save and not be too passive. But now it's a critical period in the league sprint, the team has just climbed to the top 4, and has just sent away 2 wingers, Greenwood came to play like this.
Judging from the news reported by the media, in Europe, where the call for women's rights is increasingly rising, there are audio recordings, videos, and pictures as evidence, and Greenwood's crime may not be light. After the incident, United suspended Greenwood's training and play. In addition, a number of Manchester United teammates, including Cavani, Pogba and De Gea, have successively closed Greenwood at INS. With one-sided comments from the outside world and unchanging word of mouth, Greenwood has not only lost this season, but also completely cast a shadow on his career.
Martial was released because there was also Marcus Rashford and youngster Erlanga in the same position, and Armad Diallo was released because of the presence of Greenwood and Sancho, and he could not get the opportunity to play. But now Greenwood is suddenly caught in an off-court storm, and Lonnick's employment is suddenly stretched. Because Greenwood is the starter of the right winger position, although he was once questioned because of his style of play, his performance has improved in recent times. He can break through with the ball and is more reliable in shooting.
Although Sancho joined the team for a lot of money, he did not fully gain a foothold. In other words, he did not fully gain Ronnick's trust, and he himself did not regain his confidence in the Premier League. Now that Greenwood is unable to play, the only people on the right side of Lonnick can use are Sancho and Rashford, who are in doubtful form. Marcus Rashford has scored from the bench in the last two games, but it is still unknown how he will perform in the starting lineup.
Manchester United ushered in a wave of "devil schedule" in February and March, and in February Manchester United will play in the 3rd line, namely the FA Cup, the league and the Champions League. Especially in March, the three league opponents are Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool, plus the Champions League against Atletico, it is no exaggeration to say that the performance of this wave of fixtures will determine the final results of Manchester United this season. After the League Cup, the FA Cup is United's most likely title event of the season. Winning the Champions League is difficult, but the farther you go, the better. As for the league battle for 4, it is really hanging.
Manchester United are currently in fourth place with 38 points in 22 rounds, but Tottenham Hotspur are currently only two points behind Manchester United in the second round of the game. Despite repeated setbacks in the transfer market, Traore and Luis Díaz have been cut off, but Spurs are still expected to take down Kulusevsky and Bentankuur before the transfer window closes, and the overall strength has also been strengthened. Due to the serious blood loss of the winger position, coupled with the imminent departure of Van der Beek and Phil Jones, the overall strength of Manchester United has been damaged, and the situation between the two teams has begun to polarize.
Of course, United still have opportunities to remedy, such as consider Dembele, who has fallen out with Barca. You can try the loan method, after all, Barca's only purpose at the moment is to let him go and make room for the salary to attract reinforcements. But at present, there are less than 24 hours before the winter window closes, and it is too difficult to operate.
