MANCHESTER UNITED WEEKLY NEWS
Who will
be reported today? Who is one of the biggest clubs in the England, possibly one
of biggest clubs in the world bidding for? Lionel Messi, Christiane Ronaldo, Jean
Michael Seri, the list goes on as rumours continue to roll in and out of Old
Trafford of Mourinho anticipated planed overhaul of a large number of old players
anticipated to move out of Old Trafford and consequently a substantial amount
of new players expected to arrive at Old Trafford this summer. This will most definitely
be quite an active summer the Manchester United board members and the
Manchester United manager. It’s one thing to promise positive change to the
Manchester United fans, but, it’s another thing to deliver new players with the
quality needed to aid Manchester United achieve the ultimate goal of dethroning
the clubs’ noisy neighbours Manchester City, who themselves have developed from
the label Noisy neighbours to certified champions. There is no single day in
the space of the summer transfer window that the notorious football club from
the Red half of Manchester has failed to make the sports headline news in
regards to which big football player is expected to be bought or expected to be
sold by Manchester United and this week is no different. So without any further
deliberation, let’s get right down to dissecting this week’s news.
Milinkovic Savic is one talented Serbian that
has popped up in the football headline news and has been making Segway’s in
Manchester United news thread for the past couple of weeks. The 23-year-old
Serbian has risen from the label of “just another decent European player” into
becoming one of the most desired players from various clubs in Europe this
summer. No wonder Mourinho looks determined to close a deal with Lazio for the
Serbians services as early as the start of June in other to avoid a bidding war
with other giant clubs around Europe such as Real Madrid, Bayern Munich,
Juventus and Paris Saint German whom will surely salivating at the thought of
adding another quality player such as Milinkovic Savic to their already
impressive squad. As far as Manchester United fans are concerned, there has positive
news and some not so positive news in regards to Manchester United’s ambitions
in signing Lazio’s giant Midfielder this summer. Manchester United had submitted
an opening bid to Lazio this past week with a fee estimate of £96m (€110) which
Lazio has quickly rejected with no hesitation with the Lazio manager backing up
the rejection with some demands for the services of Milinkovic Savic :

Judging from several media outlets and
the timing of the wage demand from Lazio the possible conclusion for the high
price for Sergei Milinkovic could be a strategic effort to drive away potential
clubs who want Milinkovic this summer with Lazio FC main objective being to
keep Milinkovic in Italy next season. The high demand Lazio has placed on the
chest of one of the clubs most valuable players might not be enough to scare
away some of Europe’s richest buyers this summer as numerous clubs are making
their way down to the Stadio` Olympico attempting to price the big Serbian away
from Lazio. Manchester United fans will be happy to hear that at the moment the
Red Devils have the lead in signing the Serbian this summer this summer as the
Red Devil have already prepared another fee this time worth £150m (170m) for Serbian
which should seal the deal for Manchester United signing Milinkovic Savic once
and for all. You would think the original price of 96 m which was out rightly
rejected by the Biancocelesti’s will be enough to seal any deal for a player
but that’s what happens in modern football these days: In other to get the
players you want; you have to be prepared to pay the outrageous prices. The
back and forth battle between clubs for Milinkovic is expected to continue deep
into the summer season but, as some pessimistic Manchester United fans might
have expected an unexpected turn of events has indeed dropped this week in
regards to the Milinkovic Savic situation. Although Lazio has officially
released a statement which indicates that the Biancocelesti’s will sadly be
unable to retain the services of the clubs’ star man this summer Manchester
United have falling behind on clubs favoured to sign Savic this summer. Rather,
it’s clear that Manchester City and Real Madrid are front favourites to sign
the big Serbian. This news serves two purposes:
1: The news has officially cost Manchester United the
opportunity to sign another quality midfielder that should fill the gap left in
the midfield area by the recently retired Michael Carrick. But with amount of
players Manchester United currently have in their Midfield and add the recent
news that Paul Pogba will probably take the option of prolonging his stay at
Manchester United, the Red Devils and their fans will have no short term reason
to panic
2: The second purpose carries a little more of a negative
demeanour to the news. Let’s view this news from a certain perspective to see
the result of Milinkovic Savic refusal to join the Red Devils. Manchester
United have been regarded as one of biggest club and the most successful club
in the world or so the football media say but with Manchester United’s current
struggles to clinch the signatures of top prospect players depleting in recent
times, the clubs’ current status contradicts how highly the media rates the
club. As expected, Manchester United’s lack of success in England’s domestic
league has cost the club an opportunity to establish some level of power in the
Transfer Window. But the more important question is: What level of effect will
this lack of power play this summer?
Also, what else can you say about the level of
Maturity Liverpool FC fans showed on social media this week except pure lack of
class. After this week’s announcement of Anfield newest signing Fabinho arrival
have spark a rain of taunting tweets and mockery by Liverpool specifically
aimed at Manchester United. Manchester United had made a fable attempt in
signing the highly rated Brazilian defender two seasons ago but an agreement
could not be reached between both parties in which Manchester United decided to
ultimately pull out of the deal and pursue a different player. High praises
have to be given to Manchester United fans whom opted to take the high road to
not respond to the taunts by Liverpool fans and showing a classy football club Manchester
United really is. Yes! Manchester United did not purchase Fabinho and Liverpool
did. So Manchester United tips their hat off to Liverpool FC and move on to the
next big business.
Finally, from one Brazilian making the
Manchester United news thread to another Brazilian popping up on Manchester
United news feed. Yes! of cause the news surrounds ex Shakhtar Donetsk super
talent Midfielder Fred. Manchester United have kick off the clubs’ mission on completely
stocking up the teams midfield with quality players in preparation to seriously
challenge for Premier League and Champions League trophy once again and Fred
seems like the first step of an anticipated 3 new faces expected to arrive at
Old Trafford this season. Fred is expected to cost Manchester United £35 m to
complete the players move from current club Shakhtar Donetsk to Manchester,
England. Old Trafford, England to be exact will be the Brazilians new home
ground this summer and no one is more excited than the Brazilian as Fred took
to Tweeter recently to update to add Manchester United official Twitter account
to the list of members he follows. In todays world of Football, social media is
everything and with Fred confirmed action on Twitter, Fred’s move to Manchester
United seems completed and the fans are only waiting for an official player
Introduction from the club which seems likely to happen right before the world
cup or after the world cup. Fred arrival will undoubtedly mean that Manchester
United plans to operate its midfield on the bases of a triangle formation with
Mourinho rotating between his new five man midfielders Pogba, Mctominay, Herrera,
Matic and now Fred. £53 Million is what
Manchester United cashed in to acquire the midfielder and Fred’s deal seems
like money well spent as the majority of Old Trafford fans seems to be excited
about Manchester United’s new acquisition. £53 Million out of the £200 Million
has been spent so the logical expectation will be that the remaining £147
Million to strengthen the clubs squad even further this summer as Jean Michael
Seri, Alderweild or one other quality defender could still arrive the end of this
summer transfer window. ManchesterUnitedPost will always update the fans with
