Manchester United missed out on the Champions League, which doesn’t exactly make hiring new superstars any easier. While preferred candidate Darwin Nunez joins Liverpool FC, the Red Devils have rearranged their priorities.
Alternatives after Nunez’s cancellation: Manchester United have to change their search for a striker after Darwin Nunez (22, switched to Liverpool) canceled. That’s why the Red Devils are now stretching out their feelers to Christopher Nkunku (RB Leipzig) and Antony (Ajax Amsterdam), as “ESPN” reports.
Short, compact, clear
Bond with the new coach: A move to Manchester should be interesting for Antony in particular, as he knows the new United coach Erik ten Hag very well from their time together at Ajax. As in the campaign for Nunez, United must enter the race with the penalty of not being able to offer potential newcomers a Champions League.
Priority on thinning the squad: Accordingly, the focus of action at United is initially on slimming down the bloated squad. Eleven players have already been dismissed in the past week, and further departures are expected. This includes in particular Anthony Martial, who occupies a similar position to Nkunku and Antony in the offensive area.
