Just now, according to the exact news brought by British media Sky Sports, Premier League giants Manchester United want to carry out a major purge of the team in this summer's transfer window. The decision has been made at the top that all but a few players in the squad will be put on the shelves and the players will be taken away as long as there is a suitable price. According to Sky Sports, there are only three people in the United squad who are not for sale: Garnacho, Kobe Maynu and Hojlen.
It is reported that Manchester United's top management has selected these three young players as non-sale, and the team will build around them in the coming seasons, so to speak, in the true sense of the word, as cornerstone players. On top of that, any player in the squad will be released if they have a suitable offer. Of course, in addition to the majority of the players being put on the shelf, there are a few stars who Manchester United will try to sell them even if they don't receive an offer. First up is midfielder Casemiro, whose 30-year-old Brazilian midfielder is only a matter of time before he leaves.
Manchester United's hierarchy believes that Casemiro has been diligent since joining the team, but after all, his peak has passed. Casemiro's performance within the team has indeed dropped a lot this season as he has aged. On top of that, Manchester United are ready to get rid of him because his weekly salary is too high. As long as Casemiro can be sold, then the team can not only recover the appropriate transfer fee, but more importantly, free up salary space. Manchester United will be looking to improve the salary structure of the squad in the future, with Casemiro being the first target to be shot. Then there's Raphael Varane, who, like Casemiro, is a top player but past his prime.
And Varane's weekly salary also reached 370,000 pounds when he joined the team, but Varane has no intention of renewing his contract with the team this season, and he has already been contacted by Saudi Arabia. The French centre-back will then leave the team without a hitch. In addition, Anthony Martial and Brandon Williams are both set to leave as free agents at the end of the season. These two are no longer of much value at the current Manchester United and the hierarchy is disappointed with them, so it is only a matter of time before they leave. In addition to these players, Marcus Rashford will also be sold in the future. Objectively speaking, the appearance of Rashford's name on the shelves is indeed regrettable for many fans. Because a few years ago, Rashford was once a wing superstar with high hopes from Manchester United, after debuting under the nickname of the new Ronaldo.
He has shown great talent at one point, and once led Manchester United to a head-on victory over Kylian Mbappe's Paris in the knockout rounds of the Champions League. However, the players have been very poor this season, and in addition to the significant decline in technical standards, there seems to be a problem with the attitude of the players. is relatively loose on the court, and the return defense is not active, which makes the senior management very unhappy. Despite the fact that manager Ten Hag has spoken to him on several occasions, he hopes that the players will be able to get their attitudes right.
But to no avail, Rashford is still going his own way, and his numbers have shrunk dramatically. On top of that, Rashford will be dropped because the team has the likes of Garnacho on the left flank. More crucially, Rashford's weekly salary is also high, exceeding £300,000. This is a big obstacle for Manchester United to improve their salary space. With no use value, Rashford's abandonment at the top was expected. It can be said that under the leadership of the new senior Sir Ratcliffe, Manchester United's determination to improve the squad is huge. They will make a lot of changes to get the team back on track. Objectively speaking, this approach is correct.
Perhaps a wide range of player changes will cause the team's results to fluctuate in the new season. But only by getting rid of some of the cancerous players in the team can the team stay healthy in terms of salary structure and slowly become competitive. As the saying goes, Sir Ratcliffe's approach is both bold and trying to save the United as much as possible. What do you think about this?
