For Manchester United, this season has undoubtedly entered the biggest trough in recent years. Since Ratcliffe took over the team, Manchester United's performance has always been unable to return to the right track. At present, this Red Devil boss is seeking change, from operational concepts to transfer directions, Manchester United will usher in a thorough adjustment. Judging from the situation of this transfer period, Duke has made a move, and Manchester United is on the road to complete reconstruction, several important transfers have been put on the agenda. "Waste Wood" Big Names Are Not Taken Over In the Manchester United first team, Rashford is one of the highest-paid players, with a weekly salary of 325,000 pounds ranking among the top in Manchester United's history. However, the professional spirit of this England international has been questioned in the past two seasons. After Amorim took over the team, he chose to abandon this star player after only two or three games. In consecutive games, Rashford was even excluded from the match squad. It is reported that the reason why Amorim chose to "break up" with Rashford is not so much competitive as it is because of his overly relaxed attitude. It is reported that the day before an important game, Rashford still chose to stay out all night. When Amorim learned of the news and asked him, Rashford made excuses and cover-ups. In Amorim's view, Rashford has obviously affected the atmosphere in the team's locker room, and if he continues to let him go, the team will not be able to return…

‌£80 Million! Manchester United's Desired Striker Priced at a Hefty Tag; A Major Squad Overhaul Needed to Sign Him On January 4th, Beijing time, British media iNews' famous journalist Peter Hall updated the latest transfer situation between Sporting Portugal striker Zekai Rais and Manchester United. According to his report, Manchester United manager Amorim sees Zekai Rais as an ideal center forward and is eager to reunite with his former disciple. However, Sporting Portugal has set a price tag of £80 million, which means that if Manchester United wants to successfully acquire this tough player, they must first clean up their existing squad to raise funds. After taking over Manchester United midway through the season, the ambitious Amorim led the team in 11 matches across various competitions, winning only 4 but losing a full 6, with a win rate of just 36.3%. Especially in the last 4 games, Manchester United suffered 4 consecutive defeats, putting Amorim on the hot seat. And it doesn't end there, because in the upcoming Premier League and FA Cup matches, Manchester United will face two strong opponents, Liverpool and Arsenal, and a six-game losing streak may just be a matter of time. Currently, Manchester United's biggest problem is their lackluster offensive methods, with several frontline players' states failing to satisfy. In the last round of the Premier League, they suffered a humiliating 0-3 home defeat to Bournemouth, with forward Zirkze being substituted after only 33 minutes, but despite Manchester United's adjustments, they ultimately failed to score even a single goal. In this situation, despite facing financial…

Mohamed Salah has given an interview to Sky Sports, stating that this season will be his last at Liverpool and he is very keen on winning the Premier League title for the club. Journalist: I believe that before each season or during the summer before the season, you go on vacation alone and then list all the goals you want to achieve in the next season. Is that correct? Salah: Yes, whenever I have free time, I always go on vacation with my family. I first visit my parents, then go on vacation with my family, and I spend a day or two writing down the goals for the new season by myself. I do this every holiday. Journalist: What's on the list this year? Salah: The first thing is to win the Premier League title for Liverpool. If you look at my interviews over the past seven or eight years, I always talk about the Champions League, but this is the first time I've said that I really want to win the Premier League for Liverpool. Salah: I want to win the Premier League! Journalist: Why does the Premier League now surpass the Champions League in your heart? Salah: I don't know, it may be because we didn't celebrate the Premier League title we won in the way we wanted with the club (it was played in an empty stadium at the time). Coming back here, this is my last year at the club, so I want to do something special for this city. Journalist: Do you still have…

Newcastle United defeated Tottenham 2-1 on Saturday, ranking fifth in the league table and leading Manchester United by a significant margin of 13 points. The team's forward, Alexander Isak, scored another goal, bringing his total to 13 in the Premier League this season. In the summer transfer window of 2022, the Red Devils had the opportunity to sign the Swedish striker but instead opted to acquire Antony at a higher price, a decision that has been criticized. However, according to Spanish media reports, it was not that Manchester United did not want to buy Isak; rather, Isak himself rejected Ten Hag's offer and chose Newcastle. Isak also scored against Manchester United in the previous round, attracting attention from top clubs with his performances in La Liga and the 2020 European Championship. The Red Devils made an offer, but to their surprise, Isak preferred to play for the less renowned Newcastle over accepting the olive branch from Old Trafford. Spanish newspaper "Mundo Deportivo" reported that in the summer of 2022, Manchester United presented an "attractive offer," which Isak and his agent team firmly rejected, leaving the Red Devils without the chance to negotiate with his former club, Real Sociedad. It is well-known that, although it does not conform to regulations, most clubs will first approach the player before a transfer. Manchester United invited Isak, but he believed that the Theater of Dreams has become a black hole for stars and is not suitable for his further development, so he declined the offer. After learning of his decision, Manchester United withdrew their…

Congratulations to AC Milan! They have managed to secure a deal for Manchester United's star player, Marcus Rashford, at half price. This move comes with a significant reduction in salary, as Rashford is currently at the peak of his career and is aiming to compete for the Serie A Golden Boot. Rashford, who has been a key player for Manchester United in recent years, has consistently demonstrated impressive skills on the field. The club had previously offered him a top-tier salary during contract renewal negotiations. However, it seems that Rashford has now fallen out with new manager Amorim, leading to his marginalization within the team. Recent league matches have seen Rashford absent from the lineup, indicating his diminished role under the current management. Reports from Manchester United suggest that Rashford believes he will not receive playing opportunities under Amorin, a sentiment he openly discussed in a television program regarding his future prospects. In light of this situation, AC Milan has expressed interest in acquiring Rashford during the winter transfer window. The Italian club is willing to take him on loan with an option to buy, which aligns with Manchester United's desire to swiftly resolve the Rashford issue. The English club is even prepared to make a substantial concession by covering part of Rashford's salary, making the offer particularly attractive to Milan. Rashford's abilities are unquestionable, as evidenced by his 31-goal season prior to his contract renewal. If he can maintain his form at Milan, he has the potential to challenge for the Serie A Golden Boot. At the height of…

From recent performances, Manchester City has shown signs of stabilizing and recovering. Considering that the winter transfer window has opened, if Manchester City can complete several important signings in succession, there is still hope to regain good competitiveness in the second half of the season. For Manchester City, which is in the rebuilding phase of the squad, it is completely acceptable to finish in the top four and successfully enter the Champions League next season. At present, Manchester City's recruitment operations are very fast, and there have even been confirmed gains. In the view of outsiders, the reason why Manchester City performed poorly overall this season mainly comes from two aspects. The first reason is that the team suffered too many injuries, especially in midfield and defense, including De Bruyne, Rodri, Stones, Ake and others were hit by injuries. Especially Rodri. Since the Spanish international was injured, Manchester City's record has plummeted, sliding all the way to the bottom, almost withdrawing from the league title race before the season is halfway through, a situation that has not appeared in recent seasons. Kovacic, who replaced Rodri, performed far apart on both offense and defense, leaving Guardiola in a dilemma of "a good cook without rice". The second reason is that with the aging of the team, there are too many veterans in the starting lineup, with poor running ability, and they can no longer keep up with the rhythm of many teams. This phenomenon is particularly prominent in several veterans such as De Bruyne, Bernardo Silva, and Kyle Walker. Especially when…
