admin Four priorities for Erik ten Hag’s summer transfer window impacted Alejandro Garnacho’s role at Manchester United.
Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag, keen to add four places to the summer transfer window, with a forward and the midfielders on the priority list of Dutch strategists, in which Mason Mount’s signing from Chelsea is nearing the Old Trafford home side.
“The Red Devils” ended the season in a 1-2 defeat to rivals Manchester City in the FA Cup Final at Wembley. However, in Manchester United’s first season in charge, Ten Hag carried the club’s first title in six years, the Carabao Cup.
Additionally, United also finished the season third in the Premier League, with a return to the Champions League from next season. It has been seen as a successful season at the “theater of dreams” which led to some optimism that United will return to their grand form.
Recruiting will be key to United’s “great return” goal in the coming months if United want to close the gap with Man City, who are 14 points ahead of them. Mount is currently the most rumored name as the midfielder’s contract with Chelsea expires. It was reported that United and Mount had agreed personal agreements.
The only remaining hurdle was the “Red Devils” negotiating the transfer fee with the Blues. People at Old Trafford believed that £50 million was enough for a player of the same quality as Mount, as the English midfielder had only 12 months left on his contract with Chelsea. In addition, The Telegraph reported that Ten Hag would like to get three more signings.
The new A-nine is the clearest goal among those likely to join Old Trafford, as United’s scoring in the past season has become more difficult than ever. Ten Hag also wanted another midfielder to pair with Mount, while a left forward was also on the shopping list, despite Alejandro Garnacho’s extension and having 1 season with United.
The Argentine spent 18 months developing strongly in United. Garnacho brought hope to United as he came on as a substitute in the Nations Cup Final at Wembley. Garnacho had a close chance to the goal but was unable to score in the group stage for United to equalize.
Garnacho’s path could be impeded if United spend large sums on a winger. This is surprising because Garnacho is gaining the trust of manager Erik Ten Hag.
Additionally, United are not missing stars on either side of the wing, possibly names Jadon Sancho, Anthony and even Marcus Rashford if United have a target striker. Besides, we can’t forget Mason Greenwood, who has been suspended for over 1 year by United.
Speaking about Garnacho, manager Erik Ten Hag said: “Hopefully Alejandro Garnacho is able to progress quickly to be able to compete as a starter at United, because that’s his next challenge”.
Manchester United’s transfer priority, however, remains a plugging forward. Tottenham’s Harry Kane is being strongly linked with United. United were reportedly hard-pressed to buy Kane by Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy, known for his hard-won transfer window.
Although England captain Harry Kane had only 1 year left on his contract, Tottenham remained uninterested in selling their No. 1 star, in particular with Kane moving to a domestic rival of Tottenham.
Meanwhile, Serie A winner Victor Osimhen and Napoli were also in United’s selection. Nigerian strikers were on standby to leave Italy as United were able to make a transfer move. Rasmus Hojlund of Atalanta is within United’s sights.
