Manwan: Without the Club World Cup and the Champions League, Manchester United can only think about how to make money during the offseason
The Manchester Evening News published an article saying that Manchester United can only think about how to make money in the offseason.
Manchester United are watching the changes. While waiting for the potential deal to introduce Mbemo, they are watching the top world football clubs compete for the Club World Cup for the 100 million pound prize pool. The Red Devils are not short of money. They have spent 62.5 million pounds to sign Cunya this summer, but years of bad signings have forced them to make careful calculations. If they can enter the "golden lottery" of the Club World Cup, they would have solved the urgent problem.
Now the strong rivals Manchester City and Chelsea are fighting in this event, and both teams are expected to advance to the back round. There should be no suspense for the two Premier League champions to break through from the group, and they may even meet in the narrow road in the semi-finals. They are showing off their new players on the field, and the transfer market this summer has already spent a lot of money. The economic benefits brought by the Club World Cup will once again fill the vault, and the exposure of the US market is more likely to open up new worlds for business investment and fans' expansion.
In contrast, Manchester United can only watch from the wall. Their goal next season is to compete for six, but at least at the fiscal level, the Manchester City Blues have seized the initiative this summer to make money. In contrast, Manchester United's trip to Asia after the end of the season is more like a forced one. Compared with the huge gains from the Club World Cup and the Champions League next season, this is just a drop in the bull market. Manchester United must be careful in the transfer market to narrow the gap.
They will focus on signings and may also introduce other players in addition to Mbemo, striving to reorganize the lineup before the first full season led by new coach Amorin in the preseason. Cleaning up players is also crucial. It is necessary to seek reasonable quotations for the unpopular Garnacho, Sancho, Rashford and Anthony, but when the intention to sell urgently is obvious, coupled with the poor sales records in recent years, it is by no means easy.
Get plenty of rest in the summer and a streamlined schedule next season may make United a blessing in disguise, but other clubs will get millions of generous returns from the Club World Cup and Champions League.
