After two consecutive Premier League saves, United's prospects for a fourth-place finish this season have also become uncertain. Top star Cristiano Ronaldo suffered a six-game goal drought, Uruguayan centre-forward Cavani was revealed to be free to leave the team at the end of the season, and the coaching of coach Ronnick continued to encounter more questions. There are even sources that C Luo has begun to be dissatisfied with Ronnick's coaching.
In addition, Martial went to Sevilla on loan and is unlikely to return to Manchester United again, and the same is true for Greenwood, who is in prison. All indications are that United must reinforce from the front. In this case, it is likely that United will also join the battle for Norwegian centre-forward Haaland. The 21-year-old Borussia Dortmund's number one star will activate the €75 million penalty clause in his contract this summer. For the major giants of European football, this price is simply the price of cabbage.
At present, haaland is closest to the La Liga Galaxy Battleship Real Madrid and Premier League champions Manchester City, with Barca and Paris Grande also eyeing the tiger. Compared with these clubs, Manchester United's heritage and influence are difficult to match Real Madrid and Barcelona, and the record is difficult to compare with Manchester City and Paris, so this is a very difficult signing.
Of course, Manchester United is not inferior to the above teams in terms of financial resources, and the conditions they can prescribe can naturally be met by Manchester United. In addition, Manchester United manager Ronnick was involved in the transfer of Haaland when he was at Red Bull Salzburg and had a good relationship with the latter. More importantly, Manchester United just signed England international Sancho, who became famous at Dortmund, for just 85 million euros last summer, and the relationship between the two clubs is relatively harmonious. These are considered favorable conditions for Manchester United to introduce Haaland.
However, for United to bring in Haaland as desired, it is not enough to rely on human feelings and treatment. First of all, they have to make sure they reach the top four of the Premier League this season and qualify for next season's Champions League, without which Haaland will certainly not come. But it won't be easy for United. After all, rivals like West Ham, Tottenham and Arsenal are all strong, and the North London duo still have a few make-up matches, and if they seize the opportunity, they may overtake Manchester United at any time. In the current state of the Red Devils, the future is really uncertain.
More importantly, the existence of C Luo. As he grew older, the Portuguese superstar had gone from being a full-fledged striker at his peak to a pie-eating striker with no explosive speed, and his effective range of motion was basically similar to that of Van Nistelrooy, the king of the small penalty areas. If Haaland joins, the two are bound to clash in position. At that time, one is a team legend with a weekly salary of 510,000 pounds, and the other is a future football superstar who is not inferior in treatment, as the saying goes, there is no two tigers in a mountain, even if C Ronaldo is Haland's idol, he cannot be willing to be C Ronaldo's substitute, and vice versa. As for the two appearing at the same time, it is even more unlikely, neither of them is the type of green leaf for others.
Therefore, if Manchester United really aimed at Haaland, the bell of Ronaldo's departure would ring at the same time, of course, depending on the Manchester United executives who were still willing to give up his huge commercial interests.
