United will face Atletico Madrid in the Champions League quarter-finals at the end of this month, and last week the club submitted a knockout registration squad to UEFA, with the departing Martial, Van de Beek and Amad Diallo removed, while England centre-back Phil Jones and veteran goalkeeper Lee Grande were added to the Champions League squad.
Because of the point difference between UEFA and the Premier League on the registration of local players, Jones successfully registered in the league at the beginning of the season, but did not qualify for the Champions League group stage list, so after Ronnick took office, he failed to play against bernese youngsters in the final round of the group stage.
Now, with the departure of three United players from the original roster, Jones has also been naturally registered.
It is worth mentioning that Mason Greenwood, who is currently involved in the scandal and suspended, is still in Manchester United's Champions League squad, because he has just turned 20 years old and is still a "B list" age player, Manchester United only needs to register for it 24 hours before the game, and can call him and other young players to participate at any time.
However, because of the suspicion of 4 counts, Greenwood is currently released on bail pending trial, Manchester United has suspended him indefinitely, suspended punishment, this season whether he can re-wear the Red Devils shirt, has been marked with a big question mark.
This week, Aoki took another hit when Nike, with which it had suspended its cooperation, announced the official termination of its contract, which would cost him millions of dollars in sponsorship fees. A Nike spokesperson officially announced: "Greenwood is no longer our contracted athlete."
Manchester United manager Ronnick also admitted that after the FA Cup out, the Red Devils may have no hope of winning the title this season, and there is little hope of winning the Champions League trophy. It also means United could be caught up in the longest title drought since 1974.
"Indeed, it is a hypothesis that there are many top clubs in the Champions League and there are currently 16 strong teams." "Everyone can see that we're seriously preparing for the FA Cup against Middlesbrough and we very much want to qualify, but we weren't calm enough in front of goal to score enough goals, it was a game that was supposed to lead 3-0 at half-time, but it didn't happen.' Incidentally, we are not the only ones, there are many other strong teams such as Chelsea and West Ham who have also had problems facing lower-level opponents. However, only Manchester United did not win and qualify, which was the worst result."
"The FA Cup may be our best chance to win the title, but there's no point in talking about it now, let's look ahead and get the best possible result," Ronnick said.
