6 players are safe in Man Utd’s great purge
British media confirmed that Manchester United could liquidate a series of first team players this summer, but obviously, there are also some safe names.
Kobbie Mainoo
The first name that is sure to stay in Manchester United’s squad is obviously Mainoo, the brightest talent in English football today. At the age of 19, Mainoo has become a mainstay of the Red Devils and started in a series of matches, although this is the first season he has officially been promoted to the first team.
Instead of liquidating Mainoo, Man Utd needs to find a way to tie up this midfielder as soon as possible and give him a more generous contract. According to data from Spotrac, Mainoo only receives… £10,000/week in the current deal.
Similar to Mainoo’s case, Garnacho is another extremely valuable “gem” that Man Utd owns. The Argentine striker also just turned 19 and has played an extremely important role in the Red Devils’ squad, contributing 7 goals and 4 assists in the Premier League this season – an outstanding achievement compared to the rest. Man Utd’s remaining winger.
With Marcus Rashford, Antony or Jadon Sancho all facing the prospect of leaving Old Trafford, Garnacho’s importance will certainly increase next season.
Bruno Fernandes
It’s easy to assert that Bruno’s explosive form is the biggest factor that helps Man Utd not fall into deep crisis at the end of the season. In his last 6 appearances, the Portuguese striker has pocketed 7 goals and 2 assists. At the weekend, he continued to make a strong impression on the experts by creating four big chances against Burnley, but all of them were squandered by his teammates.
Overall, it would not be an exaggeration to say that Bruno is the most important player for Man Utd at the moment, so they certainly cannot sell the former Sporting CP star next summer.
Rasmus Hojlund
It’s easy to see that the Danish striker is going through a tumultuous first season at Old Trafford. There was a time when Hojlund couldn’t stop scoring, and there was also a time when he couldn’t stop scoring. However, it cannot be denied that the former Atalanta star possesses great potential, and it is obvious that he also needs more time to adapt to the new environment.
Obviously, Man Utd’s leadership will need more than one season to evaluate Hojlund.
Andre Onana
The Cameroonian goalkeeper caused great disappointment when he first moved to Old Trafford with consecutive mistakes, but over time, Onana’s performances have also improved significantly. It is important to know that the former Inter Milan star is ranked second in the number of saves in the Premier League this season (131), only behind Thomas Kaminski (135). At this time, it is clear that Man Utd does not have any reason to sell Onana.
Diogo Dalot
And finally there is the case of Dalot, who has improved significantly this season and is currently considered one of the best full-backs in the Premier League. Whether on the left or right wing, Dalot still knows how to impress with reliable performances, good defense and is always effective when supporting the attack. Certainly, the Portuguese star will still play a key role in Man Utd’s squad next season.
