In the past year, there have been constant changes in the internal personnel of Manchester United. Following the departures of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Carrick, McKenna and Woodward, United's chief scout Jim Rousson, global scouting director Marcel Butt and first-team development director Nicky Butt have also left. Earlier, Manchester United's top management once again ushered in personnel changes. According to The Athletic, Manchester United's development director for transfer negotiations, Matt Junch, has resigned from Manchester United and will not be involved in the team's summer transfer work.
Why suddenly resign? In light of the changes in Manchester United's top management in recent weeks, including the coach, Junch has begun to consider his future direction, the decision came after friendly discussions between the two sides. It is reported that the departure of Manchester United vice-president Woodward is one of the important factors affecting Judge.
In the era of Woodward's power, Judge was his right and left arm. One is mainly responsible for market development, and the other is mainly responsible for the negotiation of reinforcements. We acknowledge Sandeko's strong economic development capabilities, so that the turbulent Manchester United can still firmly sit at the top of the football revenue list. However, in terms of reinforcements and transfers, the various mysterious operations of the Sandoko era can be described as a mess.
It is no exaggeration to say that Judge's only role is to turn Manchester United into "Manduan". Therefore, after seeing this news, Manchester United fans have sighed: "Since then, there is no man in football".
In the post-Ferguson era, United spent as much as £1.2 billion on the transfer market, just £50 million less than City, but the roost on investment between the two teams is far from the same. During this period, Manchester City won the league four times in the 13-14 season, 17-18 season, 18-19 season, 20-21 season, and this season is close to the top again, and has reached the top 4 again in the Champions League. Together with other titles, City won a total of 11 titles, while Manchester United had only 4 in the same period.
In addition, Manchester City has scored all the top 4 in the past 8 seasons, basically maintaining the top 2, with an average of 84 points in the season. United, on the other hand, have only four seasons in the top four, averaging 69 points per season. What is even more ironic is that after spending so much money to rebuild, Manchester United need to rebuild again this summer, still in the cycle of changing managers, and Manchester City is enough to ensure stable results in the next 5 years.
There are many reasons for such a sharp contrast, but inefficiency and quality in terms of reinforcements are the main culprits. In the Ferguson era, Manchester United's reinforcements were fierce, not only efficient, but also of high quality. But after Sandoko took office, Manchester United's transfers were full of amateurism, inefficiency and low quality. A transfer window down the rumors flying, and finally stunned to the last moment by the other side of the slaughter, and finally got the title of Manchester Price Raising United, referred to as "Man Lift", to put it bluntly, it is a person who is stupid and has a lot of money.
United's determination to overhaul through its recent series of operations can be felt, with personnel changes in previously criticized links, scouts to the head of negotiations. Next, the negotiations will be entrusted to Murtaf, who will support Tenhag to take over the Manchester United coaching whip. With Lonnick's advice, combined with Tenhag's ability to build a team, coupled with the expertise of Mertav and others, we can expect United to perform in the transfer market this summer.
