According to a number of media and many famous sources, Tenhag is very close to becoming the new manager of Manchester United, and can be officially announced at the right time just waiting for the details to be completed. As the suspense of Lonnick's successor is revealed, the next focus of attention will be on the construction of the Team in the Summer Window of Manchester United. The construction of the team mainly includes 2 aspects of work, one is cleaning; the other is to attract reinforcements. Cleaning is a top priority, and if the cleaning work can be carried out smoothly, it will lay a solid foundation for reinforcements.
According to reports, after Tenghag took over Manchester United, he will "slim down" the squad, and a big purge of not small strength is already in the making. In addition to Pogba, Edani, Jesse Lingard, Mata, Grant and others whose contracts expired, some players who are detached and clearly unsuitable for Tenhag's tactical style have also appeared in the departing squad, such as Martial, Henderson, Bailey, Phil Jones, and of course, C Ronaldo, who has recently been involved in the wrestling phone storm.
In terms of reinforcements, United will focus on the three positions of centre-forward, defensive midfielder and centre-back. The main targets in the centre position include Harry Kane and Nunez, while West Ham's native Declan Rice is the first choice for defensive midfielders, while Leeds United midfielder Phillips, Wolves boss Ruben Neves, Brighton's Bisuma and Monaco's Joan Ameni and Lazio's Milinkovic are also within consideration.
Judging from the media reports, Tenghag's task after taking office is very heavy, and there is a lot of room to play, basically including the hot targets in these positions in today's football. But to be honest, the likelihood that these goals will eventually join Manchester United is not very likely, and some can even be said to have no possibility.
For example, Harry Kane in the center position, if he wants to persuade him to leave Tottenham, the first thing to consider is the possibility of winning the title, which is why he longed for Manchester City last summer. Today's Manchester United is in turmoil, the future is full of unknowns, and the prospects are not even as bright as Tottenham Hotspur. Why did Kane leave Tottenham to join Manchester United?
Also, how much transfer fee does United have to pay to try to impress Spurs to sell their own centre-forward to direct competitors? Last year,100 million was offered to Manchester City, and even levikken's price cut this summer won't be much lower. And what kind of high-paying contract does United need to offer to convince Kane to join? Directly doubled, with a weekly salary of 400,000 pounds? And is it worth paying such a high price for a player who will soon turn 30? What about Kane United? How many more years?
In fact, Tenghag will have to face a harsh reality when he joins Manchester United. According to the Daily Mail, if Manchester United fails to qualify for the Champions League, the club's income will plummet, and the team's reinforcement budget will also be greatly affected, with a minimum of only 20 million pounds.
If the news is true, Tenhag will certainly have to prepare for the worst before taking office. With United's performance today, coupled with the next wave of difficult schedules, it is quite difficult to get back to the top 4. Lonnick actually had a wave of easy fixtures after taking office, but was easily squandered by Manchester United. Now that the league has reached its most critical moment and all the teams are working, It is not easy for United to fill the holes that came before.
Without the Champions League, the budget has been drastically reduced, and in addition to Kane and Rice, the above targets are unlikely to come, and Joan Ameni, Nunes and Milinkovic are unlikely to come. All three players are well valued and are interested in Champions League-level teams, so there is no reason to choose Manchester United. In addition, Phillips is a die-hard loyalist of Leeds United and is unlikely to turn to his sworn enemy Manchester United.
Ruben Neves and Bisuma are possible, but the transfer fee is also not too low. United need to raise money by selling players, but it won't be easy either. Slightly valuable players are paid too high, such as Martial.
All in all, Tenhag took over Manchester United at the most difficult time, and he had to deal with a very large workload. But from another perspective, this may not necessarily be a bad thing. Difficulties and heavy workloads give him the opportunity to rebuild completely, and Manchester United can only play a role in fundamentally deeply transforming the squad.
