One new manager, 2 top players to move to Manchester United this summer transfer

A joke that can be easily made about the potential of Manchester United signing Ruud van Nistelrooy is that he would be an improvement over Anthony Martial when compared to the current player.

Van Nistelrooy, who turned 48 on Monday, is still as lean as he was when he was playing, and he would still be useful in five-a-side, but he has been strictly classified as a coaching addition. It was possible for Rene Hake to share the sanctuary that was adjacent to the manager’s office with the coaches at Carrington.

Considering that United is using a double Dutch strategy, there are a lot of questions that arise over their new setup. Due to the departure of Eric Ramsay earlier this year and the fact that it is believed that Benni McCarthy has not been offered a new contract, there is room for two new staff to be put in place.

As an assistant to three different managers for the Netherlands national team, Van Nistelrooy gained valuable experience in the field of coaching. However, his most recent position was as the manager of PSV Eindhoven. The previous week, he had a conversation with Burnley about the vacant manager’s position.

At this time, Hake continues to serve as the manager of the Go Ahead Eagles. The names Hake and Van Nistelrooy did not appear on the chalkboards of bookies prior to Ineos’ decision to maintain Ten Hag, but the selection of senior coaches provides an indication that the board members and manager may have reached a compromise.

For that is still the title that Ten Hag holds. Sir Jim Ratcliffe referred to him as “the coach” the previous week, and Ineos’ objective has been to place conditions on the individual who is currently sitting in the dugout. Ten Hag, who is 54 years old, has been able to reap the benefits of exceptional autonomy at United, which he is hesitant to give up. Both sides are required to be on the same page, according to people that are in a position of authority.

The fact that Ten Hag is no longer the focus of attention is a peculiar effect of United’s silence throughout the postseason. The month of June has been a challenge for Ratcliffe and Ineos, as they have taken seventeen days to reach a resolution regarding the management, which they had reached many months earlier in their end-of-season evaluation, and they have treated the women’s team as if it were an inconvenience.

When Ratcliffe conducted court at the Ineos office in Knightsbridge four months ago, he did not attempt to conceal the fact that he is completely uninterested in the development of the women’s team. He responded with a stern tone, “Speak to Tom, he’s the chairman of the board,” in answer to a question that was asked concerning the women’s squad. Crotty, who works as a director at Ineos, is Tom.

At the level of men’s coaching, it appears that the new cabal is attempting to create anything for the first time. The fact that Ten Hag will be surrounded by other countrymen who have experience playing in the Eredivisie (something he is known for) gives the impression that he will continue to maintain control. The rapid reorganization of the backroom staff, on the other hand, was undertaken by a hierarchy that had been plotting to fire the manager for the past five weeks. There are many who would interpret that as an attempt to lessen the impact that Ten Hag has.

It is only via an unfathomable improvement that the following season will bring about vindication. It is possible that Jarrad Branthwaite, Manuel Ugarte, and Joshua Zirkzee are the three players that United has prioritized in their search for a defender, a midfielder, and a forward. There is a possibility of further incomings, however this is contingent on the revenues generated from outgoings.

Manchester United would be interested in acquiring a second center back, a right back, a forward, and possibly even an additional midfielder. The previous summer, United signed a record seven players, but two of them were loanees. Additionally, Sergio Reguilon’s departure on the deadline day was forced by Luke Shaw’s absence for an extended period of time. Free agent Jonny Evans was brought in to the team.

Ten Hag has emphasized on multiple occasions the importance of increasing the depth of the squad. As a result of the fact that Victor Lindelof, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Casemiro, Mason Greenwood, and Jadon Sancho are either must-sells or sellable, there would be leverage to pursue upgrades in advance of a season that includes two additional European matches in the new league phase.
