Manchester United s nearly 100 million pounds of cleaning up, the road to reconstruction begins

In the hustle and bustle of Old Trafford and the dreams intertwined, the situation suddenly changed. A shocking news came: Manchester United is about to start a large purge of nearly 100 million pounds, giving priority to cleaning up Rashford, Anthony, Sancho, and listing Hoylen. This decision was like a bombshell, causing a huge wave among Manchester United fans and the entire football world.

Rashford, this "Master La" who was once highly expected by Manchester United fans, once looked like a whirlwind on the lawn of Dream Theater, conquering the team for the city. His stunning moments when he first started, those moments of lightning breakthroughs and powerful shots were as if they were yesterday, which made countless fans crazy and were regarded as the future star of Manchester United's forward line. However, things are unpredictable. Since the contract renewal in 2023, his condition has fallen like a cliff. During the loan period to Aston Villa this season, he has not been able to regain his former courage and his performance has continued to be sluggish. Now, Manchester United has priced him at a price of 40 million pounds, and his former darling is standing at the crossroads of leaving the team. Rashford is eager to join a team that can play in the Champions League and has no interest in London. Manchester United speculates that he may go abroad to the league. Looking at his back, the fans were filled with complex emotions. The former star of hope is now facing the fate of being abandoned by the team, which is very sad.

Anthony, the Brazilian winger who joined Manchester United in 2022 at a total price of 100 million euros, should have become a sharp blade on the team's wing. But reality is extremely cruel, and he was ruthlessly labeled as "the most expensive parallel product in the Premier League". During his days at Manchester United, his performance was far lower than people's expectations, his breakthrough efficiency was inefficient, and his offensive finishing ability was even more unsatisfactory. Although his condition improved slightly during his loan period to Betis, this still cannot change Manchester United's determination to sell him. Now it is only priced at 32.5 million pounds, almost a quarter of the original price. Coach Amorin completely lost confidence in him and would rather use the young ranks than give him another chance. From the initial sky-high signing to the team's eagerness to get rid of it, Anthony's Manchester United trip can be regarded as a failed farce.

Sancho's departure seems to be the brightest. He is currently on loan at Chelsea, and the contract includes a mandatory buyout clause of £25 million. However, Chelsea can also choose to pay a liquidated damages of 5 million pounds to cancel this buyout obligation. Sancho, who was once regarded as a genius boy, has never been able to integrate into the team's tactical system at Manchester United, and his relationship with coach Ten Hach was once tense. Now, his future is full of uncertainty. If Chelsea gives up on the buyout, Manchester United may resell him to potential buyers such as Dortmund. This also means that Manchester United has begun to reflect on the "young potential stock" strategy that once had high expectations.

And Hoylen, the Danish striker who was highly anticipated by Manchester United, also failed to escape the fate of being listed. When he was introduced, Manchester United executives were full of expectations for him and hoped that he could become the new pillar of the team's forward line. However, reality hit them hard. Although Hoylen has a high attendance rate and a very positive attitude, his goal efficiency and pre-goal handling ability are far from reaching the level of the main center of the Premier League, especially when facing high-intensity confrontations, his performance is always unsatisfactory and has been questioned by the outside world. According to internal reports from Manchester United, the management has "lost confidence" in him and has begun to examine potential alternatives, such as the young center Liam Drapp of the English Championship. Although Hoylen's potential has not been completely denied, under the pressure of the team's pursuit of short-term record, Manchester United no longer intends to wait for him to grow slowly.

In addition to these forward players, Manchester United's roster cleaning is still being extended. Eriksen and Lindelof will leave the team after their contract expires. They have also made great contributions to the team during their time at Manchester United. Eriksen's midfield organizational ability and Lindelof's defensive stability both left a deep impression on the fans. Now, their Manchester United career is about to come to an end, which makes people feel a little reluctant. Veteran Evans is expected to retire and end his career. Marasia, who was loaned to Eindhoven, is also on the roster. He has few opportunities at Manchester United, and leaving the team may be his helpless choice to seek more playing time.

Manchester United's major purge has many considerations behind it. In recent years, the team has invested heavily in the transfer market, but its results have not been satisfactory. Not only has its competitiveness declined in the Premier League, but it has also suffered repeated setbacks in the European arena. The team's tactical system is chaotic, and there are also problems with the running-in between players and coaches. Rebuilding is imminent for Manchester United. Cleaning up these players who perform poorly and do not match the team's tactical system is the first step in reconstruction. At the same time, Manchester United also needs to raise funds by selling players to meet the needs of coach Amorin to strengthen the lineup. Under the constraints of the Fiscal Fairness Act, Manchester United must be careful to calculate, optimize the team's salary structure, and reduce operating costs.

This is undoubtedly a painful period for Manchester United fans. Seeing the players I once loved leave one by one, I felt reluctance and helplessness. But they also understand that if they do not break or establish, only by experiencing such pains can the team be reborn. In the future, Manchester United's reconstruction path is full of challenges. Whether the introduction of new players can be successful and whether the new tactical system can be successfully established is still unknown. But in any case, Manchester United's decision will have a profound impact on the team's future. Fans can only silently wish you a happy moment, looking forward to one day when Manchester United can rise again and stand at the top of European football again.
