Hopefully the arrival of De Ligt and Mazraoui will provide new strength that can meet Man United's expectations next season. Considering the previous recruitment was a bit disappointing when Yoro, who was more expensive than the 2 players, actually harmed Man United. So I will let Yoro focus on healing himself, even most likely Yoro will be a failed purchase for Man United. The presence of De Ligt and Mazraoui is definitely more of a priority, one thing that still makes us doubtful is the matter of Man United's health management which is often discussed by many people.

I think this is a good condition for Manchester United because looking at the agreement they did for these two players of course this is a more reasonable deal than they forced to bring Jarrad Branthwaite from Everton.
In addition, when talking about the experience of being in a big club, de Ligt and Mazraoui are still very reliable in this regard even though de Ligt did not perform too well when he was at Bayern but when looking at what he showed at Juventus and in the Dutch national team he is actually still very worthy of big clubs, especially Manchesrter United. With this, the competition situation becomes more interesting for Manchester United's defense next season because in addition to the 2 new players who entered previously there is Yoro even though he is currently injured and of course several defenders who are already at Manchester United today.

In the short space of two years, Chelsea under Todd Boehly has entered the top 10 in English football history for the money he has spent. I don't think this guy has enough money to buy random players who don't even fit the needs of the club. Chelsea now seem to just want to fill the market and they don't really know what they are doing.

The comparison is a far cry from what Abramovich achieved and it is clear that this is a step backwards for Chelsea with an owner who has no idea what a football club is about. Winning trophies is the pinnacle of enjoyment for all players and fans and I don't think Chelsea will be able to find that for a long time after seeing them make unnecessary transfers this summer. The fans will be even more miserable with Todd Boehly's antics.

I have not been able to find the exact profit that Chelsea made or he made. And I am also pretty sure that the number we are actually going to find is not going to be accurate as well. But from this can at least understand what was the approximate profit. Actually, I am not good with math  so you guys have to figure it out.

I have also heard that Todd Bohely is more interested in the profit that he earns instead of actually making the club better. Probably that is also a reason why we are watching such a downfall of Chelsea in recent times. But directly saying that also makes you think that they are spending money, so reasons could be a lot of other factors as well.

There are people who play football not for the money but for the love of the game and looking at Vini, he seems the type to choose the love of the game over money. This amount, $1.1bn is an offer any player will jump on without much thought and being that it's going to be for five years, it's a lot tempting but Vini isn't considering it.
 If you look at it, many will advise that he takes that offer considering that he had won a lot with his club but I guess the Brazilian will prefer to remain at Madrid which is a known club in European more than Al itihad but the way I see how fast the Saudi Arabians are luring players into their league with money, I guess the league can grow to the point of competing with the big leagues. Either way I believe Vini Jr may consider a move if he is well persuaded.

I hate it when injuries ruin a player's career like this. It doesn't matter if it's a rival club's player, no player should be going through that. It's worse because Luke Shaw is actually a good player and if he can just stay fit, he's among the best left-backs in the league. The same thing is happening to Recce James. Injuries just won't leave them alone. James is a very good player, probably the best player in his position in his league, but he can't stay fit. I feel bad for them. Pedri too is another player going through this injury crisis right now and it's ruining his career.

As for Shaw, he's going to be difficult to sell. Players like that are difficult to sell because clubs don't want an injury-prone player. His wages and transfer fee make it difficult to sell him, that's if Manchester United really want to sell him. If a club has shown interest and is ready to sell I believe he would be sold if the conditions are met. Shaw is a 29-year-old injury-prone player with high fees, clubs won't be lining up for him.

Some articles that I've read (most of them pointed to the same source) basically claims that Marseille feels that 30 million euro is just too much for him, which is why they will sign another player roughly at the same price. I guess their budget is just limited since they move quickly to find another target. I don't think we'll know much further than this. I wonder if other clubs will try to sign him on the next transfer windows, probably hoping for a cheaper transfer fee or even free transfer deal.

It's quite strange to know that Man United cannot escape injury problems. I don't know if it's due to mere coincidence or indeed the cause is their fitness training program. If the cause is the first, it's clear there's nothing Man United can do because they are indeed unlucky but, if the cause is the second thing, then Man United must immediately conduct an evaluation so that no other players will experience the same problem. Man United was lucky enough to be able to sign Mazraoui because with Shaw's injury, they have the option of playing Mazraoui and Dalot as side-backs (as far as I know Mazraoui and Dalot can both be left backs).

I don't think that's the case, when INEOS came in, their main focus was Rejuvenating the sporting areas of Manchester United and if you follow up sports news concerning Manchester United, you'll see that they're trying to bring a balance in every area and have been recruiting good hands, there's no doubt that the medical sector of United have been thrash in previous times but lately I think the recent change got to that area. Individually, Luke Shaw is an injury proned player and has been suffering this for years right from Mourinho's time at Manchester United his problem started during a match with PSV, i could remember he was injure while making a sprint with the ball and his injury lead to a surgery and since then he's turned injury proned and could barely last half a season every year without injury, this is someone that didn't play up to 10-15 matches for United last season and was rested enough after he recovered even for the Euro's. My thoughts are that Shaw is a very good player when he's very fit but for the past seasons his injuries has caused Manchester United more harm than good, so I think it's time for him to be replaced, Harry Amass is a young talented Leftback and should be featured often to hold that position for a long-term in future but they need a temporary experienced replacement for Shaw currently.

Kante is still a player who is still at the peak of his performance. 33 years old is actually not that old. That's still the age where a player can still be at his highest level. So it is not surprising that many want Kante to return to a European club. But if we look back at the times before Kante went to Al-ittihad then we will remember that this player went to Al-ittihad after his contract expired at Chelsea. And in fact, I even suspect that Kante had intended to go to the Arab club from the start. Because in the year before his contract expired he rejected Chelsea's offer of a new contract if I remember correctly. And since then I think he has given hints that he no longer feels at home at Chelsea. But at that time I did not suspect that the aim was Al-ittihad. I think this player really prefers comfort. because in the Saudi Pro League he doesn't need to compete too closely in the team. He even became one of the mainstays there. I would be quite happy if he returned to Europe. but I feel this player is already comfortable in the Arab league.

If this is the case then all the Manchester United players would be having this same injury crisis that Shaw has been having but the case of this player is different, the management of Manchester United may be experiencing some bad behavior but taking the health situation of the players of the team as a joke is definitely going to affect every thing in the team and that's already a bad record for the club but in the case of Luke Shaw, I feel very very sorry for the player because he has had a lot of injury challenges and it has affected his performance and position in the Manchester United team and if it is poor management of his injury is what is affecting him more then I think he needs to get himself a good medical care outside the Manchester United team.

There should be an adequate medical facility to take care of injured players in a team like Manchester United but if the medical team is not working to ensure that the players are not well taking care of them I think the management of the team should act fast to ensure they things are done to avoid players getting more issues playing in the team. The team is already suffering from poor performance so they can't be having injury issues at the early stage when the league is already beginning.

I do agree that Kante is a great player and we are going to see him at Europe, or at least we should be expecting to see him there because he is a great player and he deserves to be there without a doubt. I am not saying that we are going to end up with that happening right away, because both he is getting paid a lot and European clubs who can pay him that much won't want him, and the teams that will want him can't get him that much money and also Saudi teams do not need money so selling him is a very difficult position for them.

I think this will happen only if Kante insists, and takes a pay cut to go to a team which would be something he would be insisting his club to go to Europe and force his way out. Still, he deserves it and I hope that this move finally happens, he deserves it because he went to Saudi league way too early. We have seen with euro 2024 this summer how great he is and he deserves to be at some great team without a doubt.

The quick and precise steps taken by Manchester United identify that Manchester United management is serious about building this team for next season.
The problem for Manchester United in the last few seasons has been their back line and the arrival of these two new players I think will be the answer for Manchester United next season.

In all lines now the Manchester United team already has quite qualified players so of course Manchester United fans are quite optimistic about the performance of their favorite team next season which is likely to be much better and I also hope and want Manchester United to be able to compete for the title and if you look at the current squad I think that is quite possible to happen.

I shake my head because of the two new signings made by Manchester United. Usually they are always late in getting the desired target. Maybe this is the effect of the owner and the effect of the new assistant.
De Ligt and Mazraoui are a good package to cover Manchester United's shortcomings which have been complained about by many football observers.

De Ligt and Mazraoui are two players with the type that I like. They both have good technique and are supported by good body posture.
Mazraoui could be a good option on the wing because Wan Bissaka has also left Manncheter United.
With their current player composition, it is unlikely that they will not be able to perform well this season.

Maybe I don't like the current management of this club. But still I like and miss the glory days of this club. and we haven't seen this for a long time. And yeah I think they have to be more careful when it comes to the health of the players. The fitness of the players must be an important focus. Because for example, Luke Shaw keeps getting injured again and again like a habit. But this all started last season. Because in the 2023 season I don't think we will encounter many injured players at this club. It's just that since last season everything has seemed more prone to injury. I hope that even though they started the season with a lot of injured players, I hope they don't add any more injured players to their squad until the end of the season.

Unfortunately, this injury problem occurs because of poor club management. Manchester United is very bad in terms of player health management, their medical team is reluctant to work optimally to ensure the condition of each player. I do not feel sorry, Manchester United is not a small club that has just been established, so it is very strange if it is on the verge of collapse, player performance is disrupted, and the purchase of players is of substandard quality. All problems come not from outside but from within the club itself.

This guy is one of the most injury-prone players I have ever seen in football. 



It has been only two months since he recovered from his last injury. It lasted nearly half a year. Who knows when he will come back after another injury. This guy is making 10.4 million pounds a year currently.

I think he should be sold ASAP. He isn't beneficial for the team anymore because of getting injured too often. He still has 3 more years on his contract. There is no need to spend that much money on his salary while he is no use. 

Now I'm starting to feel sorry for the fate of this club. Because it seems like they are always unlucky. Last season they were also haunted by the number of players who were injured in turn. And now as the new season is about to start and even since pre-season we have seen several players get injured again. Yoro, Hojlund, Victor Lindelof and Luke Shaw. Erik Ten Hag always seems to be faced with very tough challenges. This season, Ten Hag is actually required to be able to bring Man United to a better season after Man United had poor results last season. But unfortunately the bad signs have started since pre-season. It's not because of Man United's poor performance, but the problem is with the Man United players who are always easily injured. This reminds me of the Juventus players in Serie A who have experienced this for several seasons. Where they are always hit by a storm of player injuries. Fortunately, the Man United players who are currently injured are not in serious condition. So they will only be absent for a few matches.

Why did Nketiah’s move to Marseille collapsed? What is the reason why Marseille didn’t pay that money for Nketiah ?
However, we won't know why Marseille made that  decision. Could be economic or football reasons. Either way, I can't even blame Nketiah.
I don't blame players for trying to force a move or proving difficult to sign an extension without clear discussion that is not "to protect their value".
So if they agreed personal terms with Nketiah (Probably willing to pay the same wages or a little bit more) they were hoping for Arsenal to drop the asking transfer fee to balance the book. It's also possible that Nketiah took a pay cut to push the move. I need to know this full story.

de Ligt, Mazraoui and also Lisandro Martinez all played with Andrea Onana for Ajax back in the day, they know how to complement themselves so I see them blending immediately into the sqaud. I'm expecting Dalot to play as a left fullback while Mazraoui handles the right on friday night. One more thing I love is also the depth. Manchester United has also reignited interest to get the deal for Jared Branthwaite done with Everton which will be great for depth.

Andrea Onana suffered heavily last season because of bad defense. Keep the same close eye on him ams check his performance and confidence with this improvements and development of the defense.

One more addition would most likely be done with Manual Ugarte pushing to leave Paris Saint Germany with immediate effect. He wants to join Manchester at all cost. Barcelona also has offered Frankie De Jong to Manchester United, they're keen to see him leave maybe because if his high wages?!
