After the decision was made for Ten Hag to remain as manager, there was plenty of good news for Manchester United.
The Dutch coach's contract extension and the addition of shooting coach Ruud van Nistelrooy have skyrocketed the annual salary of the entire coaching team to £27 million, both in terms of personal treatment and coaching staff.
In terms of management, TA's chief correspondent David Ostann has confirmed that the club has reached an agreement with Newcastle United and Ashworth will immediately take up the role of director of football.
The Magpies' quick rise to become top-four contenders after the takeover is a huge boost for Manchester United, with Ashworth's ability to influence the referee to give the team a number of penalty benefits.
However, the old giants have encountered difficulties in transfers, with Jadon Sancho, Mason Greenwood and Casemiro unable to find a home, while the rest of the lower-value players such as Victor Lindelof and Aaron Wan-Bissaka are in full swing through slightly lower than expected prices, but in the long run, this will help Manchester United get rid of the nickname of "Lifting United" and rebuild the reputation and image of the transfer market.
Ten Hag's say in reinforcements is not as low as rumoured, and according to the latest report from Mike Verweij, a well-known journalist for The Telegraph, Manchester United have opened talks to trade De Ligt and Bayern Munich, and the player has also been offered a personal offer for five years.
Dutch + Ten Hag veterans, it is absolutely impossible to say that there is no promotion from Ten Hag.
The 24-year-old centre-back switched from Juventus to Bayern Munich for €67 million in 2022 when the player turned down an offer from Chelsea, and unfortunately the Dutchman, who has a 'child's dream', did not develop well at the Allianz Arena.
In fact, De Ligt didn't have much of a problem, defensively excellent and extremely consistent (especially compared to Kim Min-jae and Upa), who only started 16 league games last season and came off the bench six times, scoring two goals in 1,387 minutes, but the manager just didn't like it, and Tuchel didn't even want to use Dier again.
Since there is no problem with the players, then the only way to find the problem is from the salary, De Ligt's annual salary is 16 million euros, and Kim Min-jae, who ranks second in central defense, has a gap of 4 million euros with him. It also makes sense for Bayern to restructure their defense and sell the salary benchmark that exceeds expectations, and not allowing other central defenders to talk about contract renewal is to benchmark De Ligt.
The Dutch international is weak in attack and strong in defense, and there must be chemistry with Lisandro Martinez.
German independent journalist Christopher Michel updated the latest details of the negotiations, Manchester United's first offer of 40 million euros + add-ons + two transfer shares, while Bayern asked for an initial transfer fee of 50 million to 60 million euros, although there is still a certain gap, but the outside world widely believes that there is basically no problem in reaching an agreement.
Strong support for reinforcements + huge salary increase + coaching staff upgrade + well-connected management, the strongest rattan army may really be coming!
