12 people left the team! Manchester United's purge began, the new owner was resolute, and two major parallel goods were listed
According to the exact news brought by British media Sky Sports, Premier League giants Manchester United are ready to carry out a major purge of the team this summer. The team's new owner, Sir Ratcliffe, has taken full charge of the team's affairs and believes the current club's squad is too bloated. And there are many players who don't work hard. In order to get the team on track as quickly as possible, the top management decided to overhaul the team completely.
The first issue to be resolved is the squad, with United looking to purge and sell a number of players this summer. There are currently 12 people on this list. They are Victor Lindelof, Raphael Varane, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Casemiro, Christian Eriksen, Scott McTominay, Mason Mount, Antony, Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial and loan duo Mason Greenwood and Jadon Sancho. These players have lost the trust of Sir Ratcliffe, and he and the vast majority of United's hierarchy feel that there is little point in keeping them in the squad. At the same time, after the sale of this part of the players, in addition to being able to exchange for part of the transfer fee, the team's salary space will also be released, which is what the top management wants to see.
To some extent, the departure of Lindelof, Eriksen and Anthony Martial is inevitable among the 12 players, and they have been completely reduced to marginalities in the team. In addition, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Raphael Varane and Casemiro do not meet the team's current hiring criteria. Raphael Varane and Casemiro, the stars bought from Real Madrid, have seen a significant dip in form in recent seasons as they have aged. Coupled with the fact that both are paid very high salaries, it is necessary for Manchester United to get rid of them. Manchester United have previously made contact with the Saudi league to see if the league is willing to take the two big stars away.
In addition, Mason Mount, Antony and Rashford are among the players who want to sell for a price. These stars also have the current strength, but they are obviously not very suitable for the team. Mason Mount and Antony, in particular, were even seen as parallel goods by the outside world because of their poor performance after their high-priced transfer to the team. In a situation where it is clearly not suitable for the team, the Manchester United hierarchy want to sell it. As for Marcus Rashford, although he was once the prince of Manchester United. However, in recent seasons the development has fallen far short of expectations, and the player's casual attitude on the pitch has lost the trust of the hierarchy, and it is only a matter of time before he is sold.
It has previously been reported in the media that Marcus Rashford could join Grand Paris. If that's the case, United may be able to recoup a significant transfer fee. And, of course, Mason Greenwood and Jadon Sancho on loan. Mason Greenwood has played very well in La Liga after being forced to leave the team due to off-the-pitch incidents, and the players are in good form. For a long time, there have been fans calling for the team to recall him. However, Manchester United are still too focused on the brand image and commercial value of the club, and they will not risk recalling such a player with bad reviews. So even if Greenwood plays well, United won't recall him. There is a high probability that the next family will buy it out. At the same time, Sancho has confirmed that he will be taken away by Borussia Dortmund with a buy-out clause activated, and Manchester United can also dispose of him.
It can be said that under the leadership of Sir Ratcliffe, the determination of the United hierarchy to reinvent the team is huge. They changed several management positions on the team, and changed various sports directors and operations officers. At this time, they cleaned up the players at the same time. After purging so many players this summer, the Reds will also be bringing in a new batch of players to complement their squad. They are currently looking for key positions in the transfer market and United will be ready to do so as soon as they have the right candidates.
For Manchester United fans, everything Sir Ratcliffe has done so far since taking charge has made the team move in a good direction. He may be a key figure in the Reds' revival in the future. What do you think of Manchester United's purge of as many as 12 stars this summer?
