The news of Manchester United's change of coach has been confirmed by a number of media, and there will basically be no big surprises, and with the arrival of Tenhag, Manchester United's squad will definitely change significantly. At present, Manchester United's squad has gone through a number of managers in the past few seasons, neither Mourinho nor Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has made them a champion-level team again, even if they won the league runner-up last season, they are still very far from the champions Manchester City. To reiterate, there is no problem with the individual strength of Manchester United players, but the technical characteristics are too distinct, which means that their squad and tactics are also very demanding, in order to play their full strength.
In the previous article, we also briefly understood Tenhag's tactical style, advocating the attacking Dutch coach has very high requirements for players in various positions, especially the ability to run and the ability to chase back, and the current players in the Manchester United back line may not be too suitable. Manchester United captain Maguire has exposed his weaknesses in recovery ability and running ability in many games this season, and after Tenghag's appointment, if he cannot bring a very good back player, such as Rice, Maguire's weakness will continue to be magnified, and even eventually lead to the loss of the team, which will also cause Maguire's own state to be greatly affected.
According to the Mirror, Manchester United are contacting Chelsea's defender, Rudiger, whose contract is about to expire this season, in hopes of getting the German defender who has played well at Chelsea. After Chelsea suffered from the impact of off-field factors, the team's contract extension work is even more difficult to carry out, Rudiger's departure is already a problem of high probability, and Manchester United in the process of finding a central defender, naturally consider the player who plays in the Premier League. According to media reports, Manchester United is willing to meet Rudiger's salary requirements, and even willing to give Manchester United's captain's armband, but such conditions are still rejected by Rudiger, the reason is that It is difficult for Manchester United to obtain a place in the Champions League, and it is difficult for United to see the hope of winning the title in the next two or three seasons, and Rudiger hopes to join a team that can make a difference in the Champions League.
In addition to Rudiger's choice to reject Manchester United for the Champions League reasons, there is also a Bundesliga supernova Nkunku who also chose to reject Manchester United for the same reason. According to English media reports, although Manchester United want to get Nkunku, the 24-year-old French goalscorer is reluctant to join a team without a Champions League quota, so it is difficult for the two sides to agree. Manchester United want to get Nkunku, which also means that they will have a relatively large adjustment in the front line, Nkunku's excellent performance in the Bundesliga has attracted the attention of a large number of giants, and young people are more likely to be able to get more opportunities to show on the Stage of the Champions League, which is really difficult for United to meet this.
Of course, it's not that Manchester United don't have a chance to compete for the Champions League, it's just that They are behind compared to other teams. Both Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur have an advantage over United in the current situation, which is one of the reasons why many players are reluctant to join Manchester United. From Europe's top giants to the current rejection of a number of players because there is no Champions League place, Manchester United's decline in recent seasons has been very obvious, and the attractiveness of players has also declined very seriously. As for whether they can change the status quo of Manchester United and make them a champion-level team again, it may depend on Tenghag's.
