For Manchester United, the team's form over the past stretch of fixtures has been gratifying, as they have further closed the gap to the top four. Given that the season is not yet in its final stages, United have a good chance of finishing in the top four at the end of the season if they can maintain their current good competitive form. For United, who have been hovering in the middle of the table for most of the season, such an outcome is the best conceivable outcome so far.
Overall, though, even if United can qualify for next season's Champions League, Ten Hag's managerial performance this season has not lived up to expectations. At least compared to last season's refreshing Manchester United, this season's United have not been competitive enough. Ten Hag has been pursuing a high press strategy, but the quality of United's existing squad seems to be difficult to support. This, combined with the fact that the injury situation in the squad has been quite serious this season, has made Ten Hag even more struggling. Judging by the current situation,Ten Hag's position remains unstable and there is still the possibility of him being sacked at the end of the season.
At the same time,According to Manchester Man, there is already a coveted manager for next season, and he is Thomas Tuchel. Following the decision to leave Bayern Munich at the end of the season, Thomas Tuchel's side have been actively searching for his next home. It is reported that Tuchel's team have made a self-nomination to Manchester United and they have made initial communication with the Red Devils management in the hope that Tuchel will be offered the opportunity to take charge of Old Trafford next season. StillFrom United's point of view, Tuchel's past few coaching spells have shown that he has obvious problems with dressing room management and has struggled to manage his relationship with key players in the squad. In addition, in terms of technical and tactical design, Tuchel does not seem to have many bright spots. Therefore, even if Ten Hag is sacked, United will want to sign a manager with better tactical skills and a more solid style, such as De Zerbi or Xavi Alonso.
In terms of squad, Luke Shaw has suffered a serious injury and will be out for about three months. This means the England international will miss almost all of United's remaining fixtures. Considering Malacia is also plagued by injuries, this leaves United with little to no one at left-back. Moreover, Malacia's performances since coming to Manchester United have not been convincing enough, and there is a good chance that the team will drop him at the end of the season. Faced with this situation, Manchester United have decided to start the transfer operation for the left-back position ahead of schedule, according to The Telegraph, and they have already communicated with Alphonso Davies. The latter has been looking for a suitable home after leaving Bayern Munich almost certainly. It is reported that although the transfer market is worth 70 million euros, but considering factors such as the player's willingness and the remaining years of the contract, Alphonso Davies's transfer fee is expected to be significantly lower than his value.
In the central midfield position, Casemiro has once again received a ** from the Saudi league, and Manchester United have no intention of continuing to keep the Brazilian international. The latter is expected to return more than €50 million for Manchester United. According to Sport, Manchester United will be looking to sign a top-caliber star in that position, and they have set their sights on Palacios, who plays for Bayer Leverkusen. The Argentina international has made 17 league appearances this season, contributing three goals and three assists, averaging a rating of 7 per game4 points. On the defensive end, he averages 27 steals and 1Six tackles, which are among the best in the league for any player in the same position.
From the point of view of technical characteristics,Palacios has good technique at his feet, passing and playmaking in a central midfield position, with a 92 per cent pass completion rate and an excellent long-range shot. It is reported that Rajue admires the top midfielder very much and has instructed the team's transfer team to operate the transfer. In the German transfer market, Palacios is worth 40 million euros.
