Although Tenhag has not yet officially taken office, United's reinforcements department has already begun to prepare for the summer window. Recently, rumors of Wan-Bissaka's departure have heated up, which can be seen as a signal that Tenhag wants to restructure United's right-back.
This is actually in line with the expectations of the outside world. Wan-Bissaka was introduced during the Solskjaer era and performed very well after joining, but the impression was basically stuck on the defensive end, to be exact, a shovel. After Lonnick took office, Wan-Bissaka was immediately abandoned.
In addition to the limited improvement in offensive ability, the performance on the defensive end has also begun to stretch. The reason is simple, when the coach gave him more assists, it made him lose his way on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends. His poor sense of position prevented him from balancing the front and back defenses. In addition, when he was defending, he was often running at a uniform speed, and his attitude was questioned.
Tenhag demands more of full-back assists than Ronnick, so his future at United has come to an end.
So who are United targeting at right-back? Mazrawi! Like the midfielder, Tenhag wants to reunite with the oldster in this position. Mazlavi was hand-picked from the Ajax Academy and has grown rapidly in the last 2 seasons. This season, Mazlavi has played 33 games for Ajax in all competitions and 32 starts, scoring 5 goals and assisting 4 times, and the attributes of "knife guard" are clearly seen.
If Mazlawi is available, the problem of United's lack of attack at right-back will no longer exist. But United are facing strong rivals because Bayern are also interested in the Moroccan full-back and have talked about the very deep stages. Romano said Bayern had accelerated talks with Mazlavi's team to prevent other teams from getting involved. Germany's "Sport Bild" said that Bayern has completed the transfer of Mazlawi, and it is only officially announced.
United have an advantage over Tenhag and can offer a better contract. But the disadvantage is also very fatal, because they almost certainly don't have a Champions League to play in next season, and even europa League qualification is faltering. But Bayern can compete stably for the title and are competitive in the Champions League.
In addition to the right-back, Tenhag is also interested in reorganizing the left-back position. We can see that the recent transfer rumors of Telles are also heating up, and Luke Shaw's position seems to be shaking. In this position, Tenhag also has a favorite target, he is the 22-year-old full-back Maracha who currently plays for Feyenoord.
According to the Daily Mirror, Tenhag saw Maratcha as a target for reinforcements, and he had hoped to bring the player to Ajax last summer window, but failed to do so. It is reported that the psychological price of Feyenoord is about 20 million pounds. If Maraccia joins United, he will compete with Luke Shaw for the main position.
Maratcha is fast and scrappy, affectionately known as the "Bulldog" by Dutch fans. In addition, his ball control skills are also good, his defensive ability is excellent, and he has been selected for the Dutch national team coached by Van Gaal, and the future is bright.
Tenhag's current thinking is clear, he will use young players as the backbone of the rebuilding, and focus on those who have the skills, speed and morale. In addition, he will not follow the example of his predecessors to chase those high-priced stars, but use his sharp vision to explore those potential stocks with high potential but not yet famous.
Imagine that this summer Tenhag will have a signing budget of 100 million to 150 million pounds, and if such a player is targeted, it will be enough for Tenhag to be reinforced in multiple positions. Although it is not the so-called "heavy reinforcement" in the eyes of fans, it is enough to look forward to.
