MANCHESTER UNITED NEWS : END OF THE TRANSFER WINDOW-- START OF THE SEASON

   


  Toby Alderweild or Jerome Boateng or none of the above, will most likely be the final chess pieces move to be made by Manchester United this summer? Or will there still be any signings made as the Transfer Window shuts down? All indication pointed to Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho placing all his cards on the table and placing an all in the deal to sign the Belgian defender before the end of the summer window or no signings at all. Less than a week to sign a player who is potentially a short-term player considering Alderweild age is not really a situation Mourinho would want to sell Manchester United fans but unfortunately for Manchester United, the situation has honestly either Manchester United convince a stubborn Tottenham Hotspurs owner, Daniel Levi, to do business or Mourinho goes into next season short a signing and hopefully signs a player in January. 


           Unless Manchester United had a super secret signing the owners and Mourinho kept close to their chest, Alderweild seems to be the last realistic option for the Red Devils. Look, here is the situation for Manchester United fans have to face heading into this new season, the teams' defense is simply not stable. Manchester United's midfield is unstable without the presence of some notable names such as Matic, Pogba and new boy Fred all present in the Midfield. Certain games in this 2018 summers Pre Seasons tournament has thought Mourinho one simple truth and that is Manchester United simply did not do enough business when it comes to buying the right players this summer. The transfer window created such a terrific opportunity for Manchester United to make enough improvements to the teams in terms of recruitment, especially considering the fact that even with the additions Mourinho made last season, Mourinho still was unable to clinch any Trophies or impress the Manchester United fans with the style of football Manchester United adopted last season. What will change if Toby Alderweild is to sign for Manchester United were to sign for the club? Well, for one thing, there will be an aura of leadership in the teams' Defence. Judging from last season to this Preseason games, one thing that remains a constant and that is the absence of a true leader in the back line.  Look! If Manchester United do actually pull the transfer off and Tottenham finally agrees to a deal before the end of transfer window, then anyone can choose to call the Alderweild deal whatever he or she wants to call the deal, Shambolic, total nonsense, unacceptable e.t.c. But if buying Alderweild helps stabilize Manchester United's defense and in so doing, helps Manchester United win the Premier League and possibly the Uefa champions league does the age of a player really Manchester United. The situation is straightforward for Manchester United: either the club convinces Daniel Levi to let Toby Alderweild go for anything less than 70 million or a switch for current Manchester United mistreated winger Anthony Martial. Paying 70 million for a 29 year old Premier League proven defence seem like day light robbey by Totenham on Manchester United but Manchester United do sign Alderwield this summer, then you have a player whom not only help increase the clubs chances of winning a Trophy by stabilizing the clubs defence but also signing Alderweild will mean the clubs chances of winning a Trophy with a stable defence increases for the next three seasons. Inotherwords, Manchester United will not only increase their odds of winning a Trophy but in so doing generate double the money the club paid to sign Toby Alderweild in the first place. 70 million for a 29-year-old player inother to stabilize a defense that looks stable but could still use atleast one more finishing touch but most importantly, should Manchester United pay 70 million, the Red Devils will possibly become stronger  Trophy contenders. Sounds like a reasonable deal.

     Hey! The Toby Alderweild situation and the situation that was surrounding the transfer window was a little bit like a cloudy day with bit of sunshine for Manchester United. On the one hand you have the cloud blocking out the sun, the sun which is responsible for brightening peoples Day but at the same time, the cloud creates warm- cooler temperatures which allows people to stay outside a little longer and be active. Achieve goals. That is the idea Manchester United might be aiming for with this transfer. Yes paying a fee close to £60 million for a player nearing his thirties does sound like a short-term situation but the important question : what will the short term plan produce? While most critics will argue that a solid center back does not necessarily lead to winning trophies, the statistics proves otherwise. Leistercity had Morgan and Simpson and the club became Premier League Champions. Granted Leisters reign as champions only lasted for a season but their reign as champions would not have been possible without the work of take charge defenders like Morgan and Robert Huth. Chelsea had John Terry and Garry Cahil in the club when they went on to win the Premier League trophies as well. So as much as people can complain about overpaying for Alderwield, Manchester will not be paying 60 million to bring in a player who is  “ past his prime” but instead the club will be getting another leader into the club to stabilize the back line for the next two to three seasons. In so doing, the club will longer have any excuse not to play expansive football this upcoming season. the round up point is Manchester United currently that second in charge defender in the teams backline which most successful clubs need and Toby Alderweild will be a good short-term solution for the problem. The question is: does this new version of Mourinho who favors playing the safe card rather the bold, ambitious, fierce card be able to go head to head with a man such as Daniel Levi and come out victorious?

   Finally, the news was starting to even suggest that Mourinho has thrown in the towel on Alderweild and was looking for better options such as revisiting their earlier interest on Bayern center back Jerome Boateng. The German center back is still open to the possibility of a move away from Germany this summer and Bayern still seems eager to move the center back and make room for new arrival but the German club want nothing less than £44 million for the center back. Meaning that Manchester United could have realistically signed both Jerome Boateng and Toby Adweiled before transfer deadline should Mourinho choose to go the extra mile. With Dailey Blind already gone, Fosu Mensah set to move or already on a loan move once again this time to Hertha Belin and Marcos Rojo strongly rumoured to join Everton this season, there will more than enough space for Jerome Boateng and Toby Aderweild in Manchester United's back line.  On Wednesday, the ManchesterUnitedWeekly will shut down on Transfer Window talk as the transfer window shuts down and all focus will shift to discussions and analysis on the Premier League season begins. The transfer window has been poor for Manchester United but the time has come to shift focus on the season and support the Manchester United team.
