In the Premier League, Manchester United has been the focus of attention. Recently, the issue of Manchester United's midfield, particularly in the midfield position, has become a hot topic of discussion. Although there is no shortage of midfielders in United's squad, including top players such as Casemiro and Christian Eriksen, their performances at United have not been as good as they could have been, which has been the key to the successive destruction of the Reds' midfield.
Last season, the performances of Casemiro and Christian Eriksen played a key role in United's top-four finish. Casemiro, in particular, has been almost the heart of the team in the midfield of Manchester United, bringing a huge boost to the team, both in attack and defence. However, due to injuries and form issues, their performance at Manchester United has not lived up to expectations.
Casemiro and Eriksen are understood to be in an unstable position at Manchester United. Both players are likely to leave the club in January, with different reasons for their departures. Casemiro wants to leave because he is not satisfied with Manchester United's current dressing room environment and the strength of the team's squad, while Eriksen is not trusted by Manchester United, and the club hopes to use him in exchange for a certain transfer fee to strengthen the squad.
To complicate matters further, United's two biggest midfielders don't seem to be favoured by new owner Ratcliffe. It is understood that Ratcliffe's attitude towards the team's high-paid veterans is not friendly, and he hopes that Manchester United can have more local young talents to join in and bring hope for the future of the team. Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag may not be willing to accept the departures of Casemiro and Eriksen in the face of demands from his new owners, but he will also have to accept reality.
Against this backdrop, the future of Casemiro and Eriksen has become the focus of attention. The Saudi league has been looking to sign more good players, and Casemiro and Christian Eriksen fit the league's requirements. If they end up joining the Saudi league, it will bring more attention and competitiveness to the rising league.
It's certainly a big challenge for Manchester United. The departures of Casemiro and Eriksen will create a huge void in the team's midfield, while also meaning the club will need to find suitable replacements in the transfer market. How to adjust the squad in the new season and find the right players to fill this void will be an important question that United will have to face next.
All in all, Manchester United is currently in a period of transition. The departure of Casemiro and Christian Eriksen, as well as the strategy of new owner Ratcliffe, will have a significant impact on United's future development. Fans will undoubtedly want to see Manchester United put in a better performance in future competitions that will bring glory and success to the club.
