One of Manchester United's biggest problems of last season was the constant injuries the club's first team players suffered and that really affected their general performance of last season. Sadly, they've now lost two players to injuries before the start of next season again and that I think will be a huge blow to the club preparations for next season. I don't want to believe that it is the club manager's selections in the games that caused the injury because of we can remember, Leny Yoro recently signed for the club and needed to play in the preseason games in other to blend well with the team's style of play while Rasmus Hojlund enjoyed a long holiday and also needed to get back to full fitness by playing in the team's preseason games. Hopefully, the club manager finds a good tactical plan that'll help the team start the season on a good note till when the injured players returns back to full fitness
And Erik Ten Hag builds up plans comes from the defense. Without a strong defense, opponents will find it easy to score goals which they did last season and at the same time, playing with defenders who are not confident on the ball and with no pace did not add to the plans of Erik Ten Hag last season and campaign.
I do not have a problem with Rasmus Hojlund because, Manchester United has Joshua Zirkzee and even Marcus Rashford can go up there a the lone striker.
I'm vexed because Manchester has no depth orba good defensive replacement for Leny Yoro. Harry Maguire has been the name mentioned lately to partner Lisandro Martinez. I think it's not a solid defense already in my head.
There's no tactical approach to this, how do you even say such a thing? What they need is backing and depth, I mean the club owners should sign up another defender.
I think Manchester United is going to play safe in the Transfer market because they do not have a very good financial situation at this moment. That's why I am not sure if it is going to be a very good idea for Manchester United to spend a lot of money right now. I mean, they can get a defender if they want and if the budget allows them to do so. Because if it is that important for the coach, and if you will be unable to bring in good results without the depth in the defensive line, it is probably better to bring in another defense player.
But that will make Manchester United spend more money and after that Manchester United will have to perform otherwise the club is going to be in a bad financial situation and they will also not be able to bring in the results that they expected as well. so that is going to be a lose-lose situation for Manchester United. But at the same time, I also think it is worth a try.
