MANCHESTER UNITED TALK : EMIRATES CUP MATCH DAY & TRANSFER BUSINESS

-




The Kalidou Koulibaly saga continues as Manchester United continues to hunt for one of the most desired defenders in most parts of Europe. Manchester United have not been too subtle in their quest to sign the current Napoli defender with agents from the English giants frequently making trips to Italy presumably to the San Paolo stadium home to Italian club Napoli to scout the Senegalese defender. Napoli owner De Laurentis has been busy rejecting each bid placed for Koulibaly by Manchester United in the possible anticipation of either retaining Napoli’s number one centre back or making certain that should Koulibaly be sold this January or during the 2019 summer transfer Napoli will have secured the highest capital possible to sign a replacement defender during the 2019 summer transfer window.


Koulibaly exit from Italian club appears to be only a matter of time after Napoli’s club owner Aurelio De Laurentis confirmed the fierce interest and fierce pursuit of Koulibaly from Manchester United. Although the Italian clubs president appears willing to open business discussion with Manchester United for the Senegalese defenders move to Old Trafford, De Laurentis did warn Manchester United that Kalidou Koulibaly’ exit from SSC Napoli will not be approved for January 2019. With Manchester United clearly intent on not backing down from their incessant pursuit of Napoli’s Kalidou Koulibaly, speaking to reporters in recent weeks De Laurentis confirmed that his Napoli’s side hands might be tied when Kalidou Koulibaly possible move to Manchester United in the summer of 2019 is concerned.  


Manchester United still have a couple of huddles left to scale if Executive Vice Chairman with the help of the future Manchester United manager are indeed successful in completing the signing of Kalidou Koulibaly. However, should Manchester United finally land the Senegalese centre back, Napoli will not be letting Kalidou Koulibaly go until the 2019 summer transfer window. A lot of Manchester United fans are still not completely comfortable with the reality of Manchester United having to wait until the summer of 2019 to finally start seriously picturing the possibility of Kalidou Koulibaly wearing a Manchester United shirt next season. Some thoughts juggling around Old Trafford seems to be coming in the shape of a question which is if Manchester United are eventually going to secure Kalidou Koulibaly move to Manchester United, why wait until the summer of 2019?


What is stopping Manchester United from paying the players buy out price and getting Kalidou Koulibaly into the club before the conclusion of the January 2019 transfer window? The short answer is Necessity. Koulibaly has played an integral part of what Napoli football club has achieved in Italy so far and with the Serie A still on route to concluding their current season, Koulibaly has to remain a Napoli player at least until May 2019.


Time to shift from the thrilling world of the Transfer Window and turn our attention back to Manchester United’s Emirates Cup match scheduled to take place today. Now, the discussion about how Arsenal manager Unai Emery has quickly transformed Arsenal from a B Rated team into a class A trophy contender in less than a year is nothing short of phenomenal and although this is officially a website dedicated primarily to focusing and promoting Manchester United football club, there should be nothing wrong with giving Arsenal credit where credit is due.

The Gunners have really done well in the positive transformations  taking place at Arsenal football club. With that been said, the question now remains: How will Manchester United go about the business of defeating Arsenal this Friday evening?


Manchester United might be able to match Arsenal in the midfield and centre forward position with players such as Paul Pogba, Lucas Torriera really jostling for power in the mid field because as much as Paul Pogba is and will be a power house in the match on Friday, Lucas Torriera is a player that should be watched in tonight’s match much like Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is a player that will more than likely hurt Manchester United in tonight’s Emirates Cup match if Aubameyang is given an opportunity. Manchester United should absolutely be prepared to try and nullify the danger of the pace Arsenal players will possesses with Manchester United possibly enforcing pace of their own through players such as Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial out wide.  Manchester United might have a problem dealing with Arsenals quality in counter attacking speed so expect to see Manchester United’s full backs hesitant in joining Manchester United attack tonight.



Players such as Mesut Özil, Aaron Ramsey and Lucas Torriera have been sublime outlets when Arsenal are on the mood to trigger their counter attacking options and other players such as Hector Bellerin, Sead Kolašinac, Alex Iwobi and Pierre Emerick Aubameyang are runners whom are always willing to chase any ball supplied behind Arsenals opposition so Ole Gunner Solskjaer has to find a way to always keeps the Manchester United defenders sharp and avoid loosing sight of each Arsenal player. Manchester United will not have a problem with making and receiving outlet passes because players such as Fred Rodriguez, Paul Pogba are exceptional at picking the right passes for speed merchants Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial and even Romelu Lukaku (to some extent).


 However, the X-Factor for Arsenal whom Ole Gunner Solskjaer has to prepare for is the French man Mateo Guendouzi. The French midfielder has made a habit of quietly doing the dirty work for Arsenal football club. Breaking up the opponents’ attack, tackling and any other situation that needs to be dealt with so Manchester United midfielder must keep an eye on Guendouzi tonight.


Manchester United players with the guidance of caretaker Ole Gunner Solskjaer have achieved such a phenomenal feet beyond what was expected from the team during this unplanned transitional managerial period. The impressive achievements Ole Gunner Solskjaer has managed to achieved has even put Solskjaer neck to neck in the running as Manchester United permanent manager. However, the point has to be stressed that a loss tonight must not deter Manchester United’s positivity. A loss was always possible but the ability to move past the bump on the road and keep steam rolling is the important goal for Ole Gunner Solskjaer, The Glazer’s and Manchester United fans must remember.

As a result of further investigations carried out, statistical and visible evidence has presented the reality that the Manchester United men's team in some aspects of the 2022/23 season has continued to show signs of struggle even with all three midfielders present on the pitch for Manchester United with the presence of Christian Eriksen operating in the number 8 position showing signs of difficulty and inconsistency for most of the season for Manchester United. With the recurring pressure the Danish midfielder receives in the midfield, Christian Eriksen has displayed the decision to roam around different areas of the pitch with the intent of finding pockets of space to deliver a pass which the Danish midfielder has displayed himself to be one of the best uh delivering keys from pocket to space.        The midfield issue for Erik Ten Hag's current Manchester United team stems from the fact that with Christian Eriksen choosing to roam around the pitch to find space, the Danish
