Manchester United’s Managing Director will soon Compile Transfer Plans with Solskjaer

DBasia.news Manchester United’s football director, John Murtough did not seem to be playing around in the summer transfer market of 2021. Reportedly, he will draw up a transfer plan with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Manchester United appointed John Murtough as director of football. The role of David Moyes’ former subordinate will involve movements in the transfer market.

John Murtough will meet with Solskjaer to discuss the transfer. The meeting will also be attended by Ed Woodward as vice chairman of Manchester United.

The Sun reports, there are four positions that received special attention. The Red Devils are looking to become serious title contenders next season.

The first issue discussed was the future of the two forwards, Edinson Cavani and Anthony Martial. Both have their own problems.

First, Cavani’s contract with Manchester United will end this season. Reportedly, the former Napoli striker will not receive a new contract.

The overhaul continues with plans to release Marthial. Man United officials were disappointed with Martial’s performance. The striker often fails to convert opportunities into goals.

The next player who is rumored to be sold by Manchester United is David de Gea. Man United wants to cash in De Gea in order to obtain fresh funds in the transfer market.

Another reason is that Manchester United has Dean Henderson. His performance was quite promising when he replaced De Gea, who had not returned to the squad after accompanying his girlfriend to give birth.

Man United are increasingly considering selling De Gea because of the goalkeeper’s high salary. In one week, the Spanish goalkeeper receives a wage of 350 thousand pounds.

Target List

At the same time, Manchester United’s wanted players have also began to be uncovered. The first player to be targeted by the Red Devils is Borussia Dortmumd striker, Erling Haaland.

Erling Haaland has been on Man United’s wanted list since the last few seasons. This time, Man United will compete with other wealthy clubs such as Chelsea, Real Madrid and Juventus.

Reportedly, Haaland is valued at 120 million euros.

Man United have also continued their interest in Declan Rice. Man United were increasingly impressed by Rice’s appearance in West Ham United’s second line.

The problem is, West Ham wants at least 80 million euros from the sale of Rice. It was quite difficult for Man United to bring in Rice and Haaland at the same time.

Manchester United also wants to improve their back line. Positions that will receive additional strength are center-back and right-back.
