Manchester United suffered a surprise defeat in the 18th round of the Premier League, officially dropping out of the top six, similar to Chelsea's situation. Ten Hag has frequently said in front of ** that even against Manchester City, Arsenal and other title favourites, if there is a complete team, he will not feel embarrassed.
However, United have used 10 different centre-back pairings so far this season, which seems to confirm the team's lack of consistency. Although Ten Hag's odds to get out of class have been adjusted to first, the Glazer family don't seem to have any intention of making a move.
However, it is undeniable that United are now in turmoil and there are even a number of players considering fleeing Old Trafford who are reluctant to ride with Ten Hag.
Laporta, meanwhile, wants to have a conversation because Lewandowski is in trouble and the team's attacking ability has declined, so he is eager to add to the striker.
According to Elnacional, Laporta theoretically agreed to Rashford's arrival, but the economic side has become a constraint and further discussions are needed.
From United's point of view, actually letting Rashford go is not necessarily a bad thing, as what the team desperately needs is a leader who dares to fight, not a player who lacks discipline, and can use the transfer funds to rebuild.
In addition to Marcus Rashford, Raphael Varane has also been linked with a desire to leave Manchester United due to his dissatisfaction with the lack of playing time. However, it is true that Raphael Varane's recent performances have not secured his place in the main line-up, and he is not in the same situation as Harry Maguire.
The signing of Raphael Varane is great news for Real Madrid, as the player's current contract is about to expire and United have no intention of renewing it, meaning the deal will be a win-win.
In addition, another important factor in Real Madrid's relaunch of Varane's recruitment project is that the original plan to recall loan player Marin in early time does not seem realistic.
