Manchester United failed to sign any new signings in the winter transfer window in January, and the board put all the eggs in the basket of summer window reinforcements and has drawn up specific plans. New president Richard Arnold hopes the transfer department will have a more efficient report card than in the past, and the midfield will be the number one focus for the team's reinforcement, followed by the striker. By 30 June, Manchester United midfielders Pogba, Jesse Lingard and Mata will expire on their contracts, and centre forward Edmund Cavani will also return to free reinvigorate, with all four of them basically certain to leave, so these two positions are the most necessary to strengthen.
Manchester United interim manager Ralph Lonnick has hinted that players who expire their contracts may say goodbye to the team, but believe they will show professionalism and play the rest of the season.
"Ultimately, it depends on what the players want and what the club thinks, and that's not a topic of interest to us right now." "The task now is to play well this season and fight for the best for the club, the fans, the coaches and the players themselves," Ronnick said. Even if they have to leave after the end of the season, they want to get the ideal offer from Manchester United or a new club, perform well personally, help the team succeed, and have more capital to negotiate."
Since Mourinho signed Nemanja Matic and Fred, Manchester United have not bought the back, and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's 39 million signing of the Dutch international Van der Beek is actually more offensive, a No. 8 or even No. 10 player instead of a No. 6 position.
Fans and experts alike have recognised the need for United to bring in a back for years, but the club's two consecutive transfer windows ignored that position and didn't solve the problem. After Lonnick's temporary coaching, many expected him to sign a new back in the winter window, but the club decided that the new manager was undecided and it was not appropriate to buy people, and instead focused on streamlining the squad, sending away the likes of Martial, Amade Dilo and Van de Beek.
However, the signing of a new defensive midfielder has been identified as the core of this summer's transfer efforts, and now the club has begun to work on it. According to ESPN, Manchester United intends to adopt a strategy of "casting a wide net, collecting more fish, and selecting the best and following them".
It is reported that Manchester United will be led by the chief scouting chief scout Jim Basil and the head of the global scouting system Marcel Bot, will first determine the initial list of up to 15 target players, the first step of inspection, screening reduced to 10 people, and then by the team manager and the club's football director finally decide on the three-person candidate list, divided into first choice, second choice and third choice, by matt Jachi led by the negotiation department for reinforcement negotiations.
United's back-up introduction programme will begin before the appointment of the full-fledged manager, with ESPN reporting that West Ham's iron-backed Deklan Rice, Leeds United's Calvin Phillips, Dortmund's genius Jude Bellingham and Ronnick's Leipzig Red Bull favourite Amado Heidara are all on the list.
United's recent successful verbal agreement with Flamengo over the transfer of Brazil international Andreas Pereira will receive a transfer fee of £9 million, and this additional transfer proceeds, coupled with a new signing of £24 million a year training clothes sponsorship contract, will also help United introduce a new midfielder this summer.
At the same time, Manchester United also has internal plans to tap potential, and the youth midfielder may also be promoted to the first team and become a substitute force, such as the 20-year-old "new Carrick" James Garner, and the 19-year-old "Ogre" Hannibal Mejebry, who spent 10 million euros to bring in, all have a chance to be reused.
