Issues have been wanting a bit brighter for Erik ten Hag and Man United of late, on condition that the Dutchman has landed his switch targets and the staff seem to have some coherence about them.
After a season the place the Purple Devils had been dogged by accidents to key gamers, the membership can look ahead to 2024/25 hopefully being a extra profitable marketing campaign to assist banish the reminiscences of some embarrassing performances too.
One participant that hardly coated himself in glory final season was Brazilian defensive midfielder, Casemiro.
Erik ten Hag makes weird Casemiro choice at Man United
As the best earner on the membership on £350,000 per week in line with Capology, clearly way more was anticipated of a participant that was a shell of the one which they’d purchased from Spanish league giants, Actual Madrid.
Certainly, the extent of his performances had dipped to such a level, that it was believed {that a} transfer to the Saudi Professional League was going to be his solely doable choice this summer time.
With time operating out within the present switch window, that’s extremely unlikely to occur now, however as The Solar report, ten Hag doesn’t really wish to promote the participant anymore.
Casemiro nonetheless has two years to run on his contract which United couldn’t afford to repay, so due to the supervisor’s weird choice to maintain on an overpaid and underperforming member of workers, the staff goes to need to be constructed round him.
That certainly means there must be a query mark too as to why the membership are apparently nonetheless serious about Manuel Ugarte, until Paris Saint-Germain’s defensive midfielder is prepared to maneuver to the Premier League solely to play second-fiddle to Casemiro, or until ten Hag decides he desires to play with a double pivot which might completely change the way in which United play.
It’s one other head scratcher from ten Hag, who’ll dwell or die by his choices over the following couple of months.
