Ten Hag Targets Defensive Signing, Kvaratskhelia And Potential Debut Altay Bayindir
Strategic Changes Ahead: Manchester United's Response to Season Struggles
en.toyoong.com Manchester United, led by Erik ten Hag, plans a significant squad overhaul to address poor performance, prompted by a challenging start to the season with nine losses in the initial 18 games.
Despite recent spending, the focus shifts to player departures in the upcoming January transfer window and the following summer.
High-profile signing Jadon Sancho, excluded due to a fallout with manager Erik ten Hag, will be available for transfer in January.
Players like Donny van de Beek, Harry Maguire, Raphael Varane, Casemiro, Christian Eriksen, and Anthony Martial face uncertain futures.
Possible departures include Jonny Evans, Brandon Williams, Tom Heaton, Alvaro Fernandez, and Sofyan Amrabat (subject to improved form for a permanent deal, currently on loan from Fiorentina).
Ten Hag aims to strengthen the squad with strategic signings, especially in defense, to enhance overall team performance.
Scouting Watch: Manchester United Eyes Georgian Star Kvicha Kvaratskhelia
Manchester United sent scouts to watch Georgian talent Kvicha Kvaratskhelia play against Spain, sparking transfer speculations.
The direct style of play and competition with Marcus Rashford in the same position raise questions about the compatibility of his playing style with the team's approach. Newcastle United, tactically, makes more sense for Kvaratskhelia.
Despite transfer speculations, Kvaratskhelia is reportedly offered a contract extension at Napoli.
