Well-known Premier League journalist Jonathan Shrager took the lead in revealing on Friday that Manchester United midfielder Nemanja Matic would be leaving the club this summer. Subsequently, Nemanja Matic himself confirmed on social networking sites that he had indeed informed interim manager Ronnick, red Devils teammates and the board of directors to leave the team after this season, and thanked the fans for their unwavering support.
United have a number of players whose contracts have expired this summer, including the likes of Cavani Pogba, Mata and Jesse Lingard, all of whom look ready to leave Old Trafford. Nemanja Matic's contract will not expire until 2023, and he has the right to renew the contract for one year, but he took the initiative to decide to leave the team, and his resolute attitude is worth learning from pogba, Rashford and other teammates.
Nemanja Matic said: "After much deliberation, I have decided that this season will be my final year at Manchester United. I have informed the board, the manager and my teammates that this is my decision. It is a great honour and an honour to play for this great club and many thanks to the fans for their unwavering support. I will continue to do my best until the end of the season to help my teammates achieve the best possible results."
Schrage said United's plan was to sell the Serbian 33-year-old midfield veteran in the summer window. Nemanja Matic has been fairly consistent at Manchester United, but due to his age he has struggled physically to keep up with the pace of The England game. United lost 1-0 to Everton in the last round, and the goal was conceded because he was cut off by his opponent in midfield.
Nowadays, many teams in the Premier League are playing high-intensity pressing, which makes It difficult for Nemanja Matic to cope. This season, Nemanja Matic has only averaged about 50 minutes per game. With Tenhag in charge, perhaps recalling his love of Ajax from Everton, Van de Beek, Matic is expected to be less reused.
In 2017, Nemanja Matic was brought in by Jose Mourinho and United paid Chelsea a £40m transfer fee. Now, he may also join Mourinho again and join Roma in Serie A. Last year, Roma had a transfer rumours with Nemanja Matic. At the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, there are serbian iron-backed former Manchester United teammates Smalling and Mkhitaryan, as well as Chelsea junior Abraham.
Whether or not you join Madman Roma, the slower-paced Serie A is Matic's ideal place. United's list price for Nemanja Matic could be within £10 million, maybe just £8 million.
In an interview this month, Nemanja Matic stressed that he would not retire in three or four years. "Honestly, I don't know if I can kick as old as Ibrahimovic. At the moment, I feel good and in good health." He said, "Thank God, there is no major injury, so we will wait and see." If I wasn't happy on my first day of training, that was the day I retired. But now I still feel very happy, I like to play football, football is my life. So let's keep waiting, and for the next three or four years, I'm definitely going to stay on the pitch."
However, if Nemanja Matic and Pogba leave the team, United will be short of personnel at the back, only McTomine and Fred, van der Beek is more like a front waist, and the team's young player Hannibal Mejebry and others are also the No. 10 players who are more attacking.
This means that United will have to bring in new midfielders, a defensive midfielder and, preferably another midfielder. A large number of new signings from the back have been linked to Manchester United, west Ham captain Deklan Rice, Leeds United's Calvin Phillips, Monaco's Joan Ameni, Marseille's Bubacar Camara, Argentina's River Plate's Enzo Fernandez and others.
Among them, West Ham has priced more than £150 million for England's main rice, and Moyes may also lead the team to win the Europa League and thus enter the Champions League, once this achievement is achieved, Rice will certainly not be sold. Even if West Ham does not qualify for the Champions League, Manchester United may not be able to afford him. The price of the remaining candidates is still affordable.
French football journalist Lawrence Julian and ESPN's Rob Dawson said Tenhag most wanted French back Joan Ameni. But Spain's Newspaper As said that Real Madrid is likely to reach an agreement with Monaco soon, signing the French fighter for 60 million pounds, and the negotiations between the two sides are said to have reached an in-depth stage, and the Galaxy battleships are fully confident that they can easily beat Manchester United to complete the introduction.
Tenhag could also dig inwards, such as taking back the 21-year-old "New Carrick" James Garner, who was United's most successful rental player this season, on loan to Championship Nottingham Forest. Ghana made 59 appearances, scoring eight goals and assisting seven times to help Forest rank 4th in the Championship table and keep up the chance to overtake.
In addition, Brazilian flamenco has given up £9 million to buy out Manchester United's 26-year-old midfielder Andreas Pereira, who debuted in Eindhoven's youth system and played in the Netherlands from 2005 to 2011. Tenhag also happened to be an assistant coach at Eindhoven, working at Philips Stadium from 2009 to 2012, and the two intersected for several years.
