In the winter window this year, Manchester United's main job is to loan players, and there are 0 gains in terms of reinforcements. Obviously, United's focus has been on this summer. At that time, the expiration of the contracts of many players, coupled with the entry of the new coach, Old Trafford will surely set off a new round of replacement. For Manchester United's reinforcement plans this summer, most of them were previously speculated by the media, or caught in the wind.
But earlier, Longnick spoke in person: "It's obvious that United need to sign a young striker in the summer. Edinson Eduard Eduardo Edu It's obvious, and I think everyone is aware of that. ”
In addition to the expiration of Cavani's contract mentioned by Lonnick, Martial also has the possibility of leaving the team. In addition, Greenwood's comeback is far away, and with such a failed character, his future is basically over. Moreover, once Manchester United misses the top 4 this season, Cristiano Ronaldo also has the possibility of seeking to leave the team. Taking a step back, even if Ronaldo eventually stays in the team, he is already 37 years old, and Manchester United also need to consider the problem of replacement.
Therefore, Lonnick's goal is to be young, and also to be the best. If you start according to these 2 criteria, who is the best candidate? There is no doubt that it is Haaland.
During solskjaer's tenure, Haaland was United's number one target in the centre-forward position. In order to get the norwegian super center, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer personally flew to Austria to lobby with Norway. Now that Lonnick is in office, he is equally unsparing in his praise for Haaland. Because of the termination clause in the contract, Haaland must go this summer. If Haaland can be obtained, Manchester United will have the future number one centre-forward in football. But for United, it's not as difficult to get Haaland.
The first is that there are many competitors and obvious advantages. Current potential competitors include Barca, Real Madrid, Manchester City, Paris Grande, the most obvious of which is Barca, who urgently need to find a new forward banner in the post-Messi era. After taking office, Laporta exaggerated the debts of his predecessors, cut back on food and clothing in the transfer market, and actively solicited sponsorships to increase revenue. In order to have a larger salary cap in the next transfer window to eat Haaland's contract. And Haaland himself prefers to join La Liga than the Premier League. Laporta has a good relationship with Laiola, which is barca's advantage.
Secondly, United are clearly unconvincing at the competitive level. Rayola has already said that money is not the only consideration for Haaland's departure from Dort, and that he needs to join a platform that can satisfy his ambitions to compete for the title. And Manchester United, not to mention the title race, even the Champions League qualification is in jeopardy.
In addition, Manchester United's Raiola's relationship is average. On pogba's issue, he has already broken up with Raiola, and Rafat even publicly criticized Manchester United for lack of ambition and lack of Pogba's ability, even if Pele and Maradona join, they will be destroyed. And vowed: "I will not let my players join Manchester United in the future". Now, Pogba's contract extension has left The United hierarchy in a state of disrepair. Bring in Haaland and do it again?
So if it weren't for Haaland, would United have any other good options? Vlahović has been taken down by Juve, Hick? Excellent finishing ability, especially good at headers, is a good choice, and is a player that Ronnick admires very much. The Czech centre-forward has been outstanding in the Bundesliga this season, scoring 18 goals and assisting 1 in 18 league appearances for Bayer Leverkusen.
Darwin-Nunez? Thanks to Cavani and Suarez's relationship, the 22-year-old Uruguayan teenager is even more worth looking forward to. Technically outstanding, strong finishing ability, 16 goals and 5 assists in 17 Portuguese Premier League games. At present, bayern, Dort and Milan are all interested in Núñez, and Benfica is asking for 50 million.
Isaac? Although the Swedish teenager has also frequently passed scandals with Manchester United, with their current ability and physical fitness, they still lack the heat to play in the Premier League giants, and the 90 million euro severance payment is higher than Haaland.
Manchester United fans, which young centre-forward would you most like to take on the Red Devils' front? Or what are the better options?
