Throughout the summer window, Mourinho was thinking about a new central defender. He has publicly expressed his thoughts more than once. Maguire, AldeWeierlder, Mina, Boateng and others all drew interest from Manchester United , but none of them were signed. The British media said that Mourinho wanted the defenders so desperately. He even planned to use 100 million pounds to buy Real Madrid’s Varan, but this idea was rejected by the top brass at Manchester United . The top executives at Manchester United hope that Mourinho can promote young people more, and don’t spend money in the future.
“The Sun” said that originally, Boateng and Mina were the most promising candidates for Manchester United. However, Boateng stayed in Bayern, and Mina went to Everton with a transfer fee of 28.5 million pounds . Maguire, who shines at the World Cup, also chose to stay in Leicester City. In addition, Tottenham has refused to let AldeWeierlder go low.
Since 2013, Manchester United has invested 700 million pounds in the transfer window, and the British media bluntly said that Manchester United don’t look so bad. He felt that even if he used 100 million pound to buy a suitable centre-back, it would not be too much, such as Real Madrid’s Varan. However, Manchester United executives do not intend to burn money, and they think that the defenders in Manchester United are already very good, there is no need to buy another player. Therefore, they rejected Mourinho’s request. In the position of the central defender, Manchester United currently has Smalling, Jones, Rojo, Bailey and Lindelof.
“Daily Mirror” said that the brass at Manchester United has clearly conveyed the message to Mourinho: Don’t always think about spending money to buy players all the time, to learn from Manchester City (Guadiola), to promote young people, and to look inward. It is reported that this is the new policy of Manchester United management team. This summer, Woodward refused to sell the young Pogba and Martial, also for this consideration.
It is reported that Woodward did contact Perisic this summer, but he did not workout, because the asking price of Inter Milan was too high. Alderweilerd is 29 years old, but Tottenham is asking for 50 million pounds; Pericic is also 29 years old, and Inter is sticking to the price of 60 million pounds.
In the past two seasons, Manchester City has done a good job in promoting newcomers. Woodward believes that this is worth learning from Manchester United. For now, Woodward is not reluctant to spend money, but he firmly believes that money should be spent in the right place. Mourinho spent too much money on the two veterans of Ibrahimovic and Sanchez. Both of them have high wages. Woodward hopes that Manchester United will do less of this kind of transaction in the future. Counting all the expenses (all wages + signature fees, etc.), Manchester United spent a total of 200 million pounds on the 29-year-old Sanchez.
Yesterday was the last day before the closing of the Premier League summer window. Manchester United fans were full of hope, and most of them believed that the team would move to sign someone. Unfortunately, they were disappointed, Manchester United did not anyone. After the summer window closed, Manchester United fans stated: “Manchester United wants to be the new Arsenal , this summer window is simply too embarrassing.”, “Yes, Manchester United is the new Arsenal, we will not pay attention to Manchester United radio because of the fundamental There won’t be big news.”, “Wenger is gone, Manchester United has replaced Arsenal’s status. On the last day of the summer window, Manchester United simply does not know that it should be trying to compete.”
