Just as the Champions League quarter-final battle is in full swing, Manchester United, feeling powerless to return to this season, finally realized that it is more important to finalize the official manager than to fight for 4. With Manchester United's home draw at home to Leicester City in the 30th round of the Premier League, Manchester United slipped to 7th place, and the point gap with the main four rivals Tottenham and Arsenal was three points away, and Arsenal had the advantage of one game less.
Therefore, for the newly appointed CEO Arnold, it is obviously not wise to focus all his energy on the goal of 4. On the one hand, it is the former Woodward who bears responsibility for the current situation of Manchester United, and on the other hand, interim manager Lonnick has difficulty bringing great changes to Manchester United in the last 8 rounds of the league.
This means that Alexander-Arnold needs to seize the fleeting time of the season to finalize the direction of the preparation for the new season in advance, and the selection of the official manager is undoubtedly a top priority.
I have to say that there have been many opinions on the selection of the Manchester United manager, including Tenhach, who is favored by the Manchester United executives, Pochettino, who Ferguson admires, and Enrique, whom C Ronaldo likes, and even Tuchel, Ancelotti and Mancini recommended by various media.
Such a situation is not a good thing for United in the chaos. Perhaps in the eyes of the United executives, the suspension of the manager's work is so that the team can focus on the rest of the season under the leadership of Lonnick and make a final fight for 4.
But the actual effect is counterproductive. First of all, no matter who coaches next season, Lonnick's concession is an established fact, so Lonnick has no confidence to control the locker room; secondly, for the new season, the players who are about to expire their contracts and are not reused, think more about how to get out than focus on the game.
Therefore, from the actual situation, whether it is the atmosphere in the dressing room or the morale in the game, Manchester United shows that the trend has gone.
Perhaps aware of the seriousness of the problem, manchester United executives have not only gradually narrowed the scope of the selection of the manager, but also have a clearer tendency. According to the Daily Mail, ESPN and other media confirmed that Manchester United's work of finalizing the manager has come to an end, and the 52-year-old Dutch coach Tenhach has become the final decision of the Glazer family and Arnold.
At the same time, more details of Manchester United's signing of Ten hach were also revealed. Bringing Tenhahe to Old Trafford reportedly, United only need to pay Ajax £1.7 million in compensation, and £2 million would already allow Tenghach and his team to work for 1 year. In other words, with the signing of Teng hach's entire operation, Manchester United only need to pay less than 4 million pounds.
According to the interpretation of the media, compared with Pochettino's £15 million liquidated damages, Tenhach's contract will be very cost-effective, which is also an important consideration for Glazer and Arnold. This interpretation of the media may not be recognized by most Red Devils fans, and with Manchester United's financial resources, it will not take salary as a key factor in selecting a manager.
Manchester United's top-level tendentious choice of Tenhach, on the one hand, depends on pochettino's poor performance in leading Greater Paris, which has a luxurious squad configuration this season, and finally embarrassingly stopped the Champions League round of 16, which seems to prove Pochettino's coaching ceiling and the control of the dressing room, which is undoubtedly an uncertain factor for Manchester United's rebuilding.
On the other hand, Tenhach proposed that Manchester United deviate from the title race and need long-term planning. It seems more in line with The current situation of Manchester United. For the time being, forgetting the unrealistic goal of the title, Manchester United needs to carry out a new exploration in the cultivation of young players, the construction of the tactical system, and the reshaping of the team's temperament.
In these aspects, Tennhach has achieved good results in Ajax, and whether it is fame or salary, the expectations of the outside world for Tenhach will not be too harsh, so that United's reconstruction will return to a relatively relaxed environment.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that Ferguson's proposal to support Pochettino has not changed the views of Glazer and Arnold, and it seems to indicate that Ferguson's voice is weakening, and will this be the beginning of Ferguson's "formal" retirement?
