Sort out: Erik ten Hag needs to slim down the Manchester United squad first, in order to then have the space and financial means for much-needed reinforcements like these “Manchester Evening News” to report. Accordingly, the focus is primarily on loan players, most of whose contracts expire in the summer of 2023.
returnees: The main problem is that the loan players at their new clubs did not really catch fire. Axel Tuanzebe (24, SSC Napoli), for example, only made one appearance, while Anthony Martial (26, Sevilla FC) failed to score a goal at all. In the case of Andreas Pereira (26), a permanent transfer to Flamengo Rio de Janeiro will fail primarily due to the Brazilians’ lack of financial resources.
bench press: Dean Henderson (25, Newcastle shows interest) and Phil Jones (30) also have no realistic chances of making an appearance. With Aaron Wan-Bissaka (24), a substantial transfer fee could even be achieved. Buyers are likely to be found in the Premier League in particular.
