The lack of a goal is one of the big problems that Erik ten Hag is having since Cristiano Ronaldo He opted to leave the club fourteen months ago now.
It is true that the Dutch coach himself was the driving force behind the farewell of the Portuguese striker since, during the first part of the 22/23 season, Cristiano hardly accumulated any starts, something that ended up trying his patience, but since then at Old Trafford they have not found that new leading striker to idolize.
Not even Rasmus Hojlunda young man who arrived at the club last summer in exchange for 70 millionis having a notable campaign in the scoring section and hence the red devils want to come up with a solution taking advantage of these last days of the winter market, a solution that, in turn, would undermine a direct rival: Callum Wilson.
The forward of the Newcastleunlike Hojlund, Marcus Rashford or Anthony Martial, he is having a good season in the ranks of the black and white team (7 goals in 14 parliamentary matches in the Premier) and, although the English striker has some discomfort in his calf, he has become Erik ten Hag’s express objective to try to improve the performance of his team’s offensive field.
Let us remember that Manchester United, already eliminated from the Champions Leaguehas as a great challenge in the remainder of the campaign, with no options to win the league title either, try to sneak into fourth place that would allow the English club to fight for the orejona in the 24/25 season, something that will not be easy at all. The equipment is located in the eighth position in the Premier LeagueOr what is the same, eleven points away from Aston Villa, a club that is in fourth place.
The motives
On paper, it would be difficult to think that Newcastle would give its approval to handing one of its best players to a direct rival in that dispute, but there are several reasons to give the green light to the transfer soon: on the one hand, that the offer from the red devils could extend to 20 milliona figure to take into account given that Wilson, in addition to being almost 32 years old, He has a contract with the club until 2025; And on the other hand, the magpies They would not need to go into the market in search of a replacement since Eddie Howe, the team’s coach, has another leading forward in his squad like Alexander Isak.
