There are only 12 days left in the Premier League transfer window, Manchester United still only signed 3 new signings, and the net transfer investment is only 50 million pounds, which is the lowest transfer investment for Manchester United in the past 8 seasons, and the least Number of signings (except in the Moyes era). The new manager Ten Hag had to start his Manchester United career with a weak striker and midfield.

Manchester United

After a poor season last season, 캡포탈 said: Manchester United and Chelsea may be the teams with the biggest changes to the squad this season, as both teams face the departure of multiple first-team players. However, 캡포탈 predicted the beginning of the story correctly, but not the end. Ten Hag once said that strengthening the midfield is crucial to the success of the season, and Manchester United only signed Eriksen in the midfield.

What's wrong with Manchester United in this summer window? The biggest problem is that too much optimism leads to insufficient adaptability. The players that Manchester United want in this summer window are basically unwilling to come, or the club is unwilling to let people join. And players who are willing to join Manchester United are asking too high a price. Such a complicated signing situation and situation made Manchester United's signing department at a loss, and it was delayed until the time was running out, and the mode of casting a wide net was resumed.

Who do Manchester United want this summer? Ten Hag obviously has a clear idea of ​​​​building a team. Timber can supplement the flexibility of the backcourt, De Jong can solve some of the difficulties in playing the ball in the backcourt, and Eriksen's passing ability can increase the forward of the midfield. As a transmission point, Anthony can increase the blasting ability and lineup thickness on the wing, and the high center Broby can suppress the center back. 5 new aids can strengthen Manchester United's first team's lineup thickness, attacking ability and lack of exercise.

In terms of the signing of the back line, Manchester United originally planned to want a central defender. However, Manchester United's first signing in this summer window was Malaysia, but this was not Ten Hag's primary goal in this summer window. According to authoritative media reports, Ten Hag saw that Malaysia, whom he longed for, entered the market. This is the decisive decision to cut off the hustle, which means that Malaysia is not part of the summer window reinforcement plan, but can only be regarded as an accessory or a gift.

Sure enough, the start of the signings gave Manchester United a blow. After negotiating personal terms, Timber chose to give up the opportunity to join Manchester United because Van Gaal said he could not enter the national team without playing the main force. So how did Manchester United respond? He made an offer of 55 million that Ajax could not refuse, and directly won Timber's partner Lisandro.

Please note that both TA Magazine and Romano have confirmed that Ten Hag's preferred target is Timber. After determining that Timber cannot join, Manchester United's transfer department took a second step and pursued Lisandro. If this signing was considered a quick response and a decisive decision, the subsequent signings began to appear slightly chaotic.

Secondly, in the midfield signing, Manchester United's plan should be to add two players to replace Pogba and Matic who have left the team. Eriksen's signing was smooth. Ten Hag's influence, the temptation of high salary, and the opportunity to return to the giants made it no surprise that Eriksen chose to join Manchester United. However, on the issue of De Jong, Manchester United misestimated Barcelona's means and De Jong's determination. Dutch reporter van der Kraan bluntly stated that De Jong wanted to get his salary back.

So, waiting for the validity period of Manchester United's offer to expire, Barcelona still did not let go, but Manchester United first counseled, Manchester United withdrew the expired offer and chose to give up. This made the wait of more than 80 days meaningless. Manchester United's immature transfer department was defeated in front of the old fox-like Barcelona.

Before losing enough time to move, Manchester United gave up the overly demanding Rabiot, and Brighton midfielder Caicedo was marked as not for sale. There is no time, so Manchester United can only throw in a salary that Romano feels very crazy, and go to the possibility of Casemiro. There is no time to find a replacement, then Manchester United can only be slaughtered.

In the signing of the striker, Manchester United's plan should be a backup center, a rotation winger. Manchester United is looking at former Ajax player Broby and Ajax winger Anthony, and is unwilling to be the third player other than Cristiano Ronaldo and Martial. Broby naturally chooses Aja who plays steadily Cox, and on Anthony's side, Manchester United started too late.

At that time, Manchester United focused on De Jong and Timber. Ajax, who lost nine members of the first team in succession, was unwilling to lose any more players. As a result, Anthony was marked with an offer of 100 million euros. Manchester United did not seem to have anticipated this situation, so that it was delayed in making a correct and reasonable response, and the transfer has been in a stalemate.

Next is the farce-like center signing Cesco. Even Brobbie is reluctant to be the third pick, let alone Cesco who is at his peak?

Salzburg's so-called £55 million price tag is just a hope to see if Manchester United is willing to take a big bite. Sure enough, when Manchester United was hesitant, Leipzig Red Bull started, and the transfer fee was 15 million euros.

As for Werner, Aubameyang, Cunha and other players, I am sorry that they are unwilling to join Manchester United. As for Felix, Gakpo and other players, I am sorry that the club said no directly, they are not willing to sell. Romano updated his Youtube video yesterday to say that Manchester United are running out of viable targets.

What goals are left? Chelsea's outcast Pulisic, Romano says Burley wants to sell outright rather than loan him. Who's next? Very crazy salary Casemiro.

This is really a beautiful summer window.
