Title:
Manchester United big move!The team "sells, sells, sells", what is the mystery behind the undercurrent?
Hello everyone, I'm your senior football consulting blogger, and I'm here to share with you a jaw-dropping football news about Manchester United, of course, I have to share it with you as soon as possible, isn't it?
You may wonder why Murtaugh has recently flown to Saudi ArabiaIs it for a vacation?Or is it for an authentic taste of Middle Eastern cuisine?I'm afraid not, there are definitely bigger things quietly fermenting behind the scenes.
The news is not grapevine, but through the Post**. Earlier this month, Murtaugh flew to Saudi Arabia not to find treasure, but to peddle the team's four players: Casemiro, Raphael Varane, Jadon Sancho and Anthony Martial. Yes, you heard it right, it really happened.
Let's start with Manchester United's top priority – selling Jadon Sancho. Hearing that this is already Manchester United's top priority in January, it can be seen that Manchester United are already quite urgent about the player's situation. Of course, United will not force the other three players to leave – Raphael Varane, Anthony Martial and Casemiro – as they are all important players in Ten Hag's squad.
But how did all this happen?Is Manchester United going bankrupt?Don't worry, let me tell you slowly.
First of all, let's take a look at Manchester United's financial situation. It is said that Manchester United have been struggling with financial pressures recently, and UEFA has fined them £260,000 for showing up during the 2022 23 season"Slight deficit"。This is a good indication of United's fragile financial situation.
But the problem doesn't stop there, last summer, Manchester United made a big splash of bringing in stars, spending a total of nearly 7£500 million. Hojlund, Onana and Mason Mount are all big names to strengthen the team. However, this kind of extravagance could not continue in the winter window, as United's financial situation does not seem to allow for it.
Ten Hag is not a vegetarian and he expects a lot from his team, especially at centre-back, midfield and up front. But the problem is that if United are unable to play players, they may have to rely on loan to achieve those goals.
Back in Saudi Arabia, Murtaugh didn't go for nothing. While no concrete transfer agreement has been reached, he has made some significant contacts in Saudi Arabia and further talks are planned. However, a deal with the Saudi club may have to wait until the summer, as the Saudi United club is unlikely to have much activity in the January transfer window and their foreign signings are said to be full.
All in all, Manchester United are in real trouble this time, with a financial crisis, urgent needs and a tortuous road to solving the problem. Perhaps, we can look forward to the summer and see if Manchester United can turn around. What do you think Manchester United will do?Come and leave a comment and share your thoughts with me!
