Keys: Man United Have ‘Nothing to Celebrate’

Speaking in his blog, Keys said Man United made the right decision by canceling their end of season dinner as they had ‘nothing to celebrate’:

“I’ve seen it all now. It’s definitely the correct decision – but United cancelling their end of season awards dinner? Wow.

“The official reason is because they don’t want any distractions ahead of an FA Cup final they shouldn’t even be involved in. I think we all know the unofficial reason – there’s absolutely nothing to celebrate from a miserable season.”

Man United have won only once in their last eight Premier League games – the Red Devils secured a 4-2 home victory over the relegated Sheffield United side. The poor run of games saw Man United slump to eighth in the league, with both supporters and pundits doubting Ten Hag’s future.

The under-fire Dutchman says he does not feel his job could be under threat and suggests club owners ‘have common sense’ over Man United’s injury problems this season.

Ten Hag says his team ‘underperformed’ due to injury setbacks as Man United had to use ‘32 different backlines’ and ‘14 partnerships at centre-back’.

Major Man United Clearout Expected

Replacing both injury-prone and underperforming players is something Man United fans can look forward to in the upcoming transfer window, as new minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe reportedly plans a squad overhaul in the next few months.

Star names like Casemiro and Raphael Varane are expected to leave, as well as Anthony Martial, whose last Premier League appearance came in December 2023 with the Frenchman currently out with an injury.

Getafe loanee Mason Greenwood is also likely to leave this summer, while Man United shift their focus on building around three youngsters: Alejandro Garnacho, Rasmus Hojlund, and Kobbie Mainoo. The trio have shown glimpses of huge potential this season, and fans can only hope there is more to come.
