There is a crisis at Manchester United, a Saudi Arabian club is eyeing a Real Madrid star and OM already wants to let go a summer recruit.
Manchester United in dire straits
The club is plunged into crisis after early elimination in Champions League. Erik ten Hag is no longer unanimous and has completely lost the trust of the fans. His hours on the bench at Old Trafford could well be numbered. He could quickly be dismissed from his position according to information from the Spanish newspaper Relevo. There is even already a candidate who is the favorite: Julen Lopetegui. On the other hand, according to The Sun, it is the former manager of Chelsea and Brighton, Graham Potter , who should be the new manager of the Red Devils. But be careful, according to information from The Independent, Erik ten Hag cannot be sacked for various reasons. The main one being that the club does not want to make any major decisions until the expected sale of 25% of the club to Sir Jim Ratcliffe's Ineos group is resolved. On the player side, we expect many departures, as always. But hey, the English board did not expect to lose Raphaël Varane, who could leave the club without transfer compensation next June. Indeed, according to The Telegraph, the Frenchman's contract would expire in 2024, and not in 2025 as announced. The British media specifies, however, that a clause could still offer the Mancunians the possibility of extending the thirty-year-old's contract by 12 months but that the details of this are not known. The other tricolor who will leave this summer is Anthony Martial. The attacker is pushed towards the exit. At the end of the contract in the summer of 2024, it should not be extended by the English club. It also gets complicated with the sale of Jadon Sancho, tracked by Juventus or Dortmund according to different media, Manchester United would have attempted a daring maneuver to strengthen themselves while getting rid of the English winger. Recently, several English media, such as the Daily Mail, explained that the Red Devils had the ambition to exchange Jadon Sancho for Raphinha from FC Barcelona. A utopian exchange for the Catalan club, which not only is not at all interested in the former Borussia Dortmund nugget, but which also considers the Brazilian untouchable according to Mundo Deportivo< /span>Kalvin Phillips indicates that The Sun. Getafe are said to be happy with his progress in La Liga and should definitely make a move for his services. In the meantime, Erik ten Hag is still in office and is therefore preparing for his winter transfer window. He will try two big shots according to the English press. Greenwood. On the other hand, everything would go well for the sale of Mason is at the top of the list of players coveted by the club. The other player who is very popular in the Mancunian offices is none other than Loïs Openda according to the Mirror . As an alternative in attack, Manchester United would not be indifferent to the dazzling progress of Mathys Tel. Sky Sport Germany reports that the Red Devils have inquired about him, but Bayern are adamant he will stay.
Alaba towards the Saudi Pro League?
Al-Ittihad wants another Real Madrid star. According to information from Relevo, the Jeddah-based club is considering returning to the attack for David Alaba , far from being indisputable with the Spanish team this season. On the other hand, the task promises to be difficult because the Austrian international has no intention of packing up. It remains to be seen whether the financial arguments of the current 5th in the Saudi Pro League will be enough to make him change his mind...
