MANCHESTER UNITED TO CONTROL THE DAMAGE OF THE CURRENT ECONOMIC DOWNTURN




The news of the current Premier League season officially being postponed for a very long period has gone from suspicion to certainty in the space of a few days. 


News of the FA officially shutting down Premier League matches for the next two months was confirmed by the FA Boards roughly two weeks after the news that all Premier League matches scheduled for the rest of march 2020 was put on hold until further notice.  








These decisions continue to unfold as prevention methods to combat the current CO-VID19 virus currently threatening the lives of the general public. To safeguard the lives of the public the FA has seen the decision to postpone not just the Premier League season as well as postponing matches around other leagues around the world but also postponing any movement anticipated to take place in the upcoming summer transfer window which was expected to take place during July August 2020 period. 






While people affiliated in one way other to the world of football might find the attempt to relate how the current global health crises affect the world of football, in the long run, a little absurd, the short answer simply is that Football operates more efficiently if the global economy is running in a steady, high pace and at the moment a steady economy is not the reality the world is facing. Simply put, the more money available for the sports industry, the better chance there is for any given season to be completed.  







Club managers will be paid, kit managers will be paid, Scotting personals will be paid, players agent and the players themselves all getting paid at the right time. That is how a stable economy provides constant football each season. Now move away from the idea of a stable economy and a stable football season to the current massive halt forced upon the entire sporting industry as a result of the recent COVID-19 facing the globe and what will be the long term effect of the current long term of football in Old Trafford when the season restarts? Insufficient finances. 
  






The Red Devils will more than likely have lost massive money and witnessed a massive drop in the clubs' stock market portfolio when the 2019/20 season eventually kicks off with a high degree of uncertainty still surrounding the exert date on which the Premier League will return. The fact of the matter is as we speak, the clubs' stocks ( Manchester United LTD) seems to be moving at a consistent growth with the current rate stance at 13.60 which compared to the previous close of $13.39 as of Thursday march 19 2020 is the progress made at a respectable pace.  





However, considering the massive loss yet to be accounted for by Manchester United as a result of the break-in ticket sales and merchandising due to the recent health scare, Manchester United might yet see further financial loss before the start of the 2020 summer transfer window. Not only will this possibly force the club into refusing to sign more than one player but the Red Devils might be forced into the likelihood of losing some of the clubs' big-name players not just Paul Pogba but also possibly David De Gea and Marcus Rashford, all currently on massive contract wages, during the 2020 summer transfer window with the prospect of replacement signings still very unlikely. 
  










Looking at the situation from the business perspective for Manchester United, massive funds anticipated to have been lost already during the recent health crises worldwide which unfortunately put a stop to all sports activities in the next two months at least will have to be balanced out by Manchester United football club in one way or the other.


When the 2020 season restarts, the expectation at the moment points towards the eventuality that revenues made from ticket sales and merchandise sales during the remainder of the 2020 season will not be enough to cover any transfer deals, if any, that the Red Devils intend to complete during the 2020 summer transfer window. 


  
A large volume of the current global financial crises faced by not just Manchester United but also multiple clubs around Europe points at the eventuality of the upcoming 2020 summer transfer window being an uneventful one in terms of new players being signed by Manchester United during the summer. As spring continues to pass by in a convenient pace and the 2020 summer season draws ever closer ready to usher in the 2020 summer transfer window along with it, the current question yet to be asked is will there even be a summer transfer window during the current 2020 calendar year and if so how the activity will Manchester United be in terms of signing and selling this 2020 summer season? 









Unfortunately for Manchester United, the outcome of the recent global crises will not impact the Red Devils in an entirely negative manner in terms of signing new players during the 2020 summer period but also Manchester United are suddenly anticipated to lose more star players within the current Manchester United roaster than anticipated during the 2020 super transfer window. Before the recent depreciation of the global economy, Manchester United was expecting to secure a massive 150 million transfer fee for the sale of ace midfielder Paul Pogba which a substantial part of the fee was expected to be reinvested into signing a new midfielder during the 2020 summer period. 




However, with the recent stumble in the global market, the Red Devils are still willing to sell Paul Pogba but the outcome will result in Manchester United taking a cut in Paull Pogba’s transfer fee but the further result will see the  Red Devils struggle and potentially fail to sign any top-class replacement midfielder for Paul Pogba. 





The reality of the situation is considering the current event regarding the ongoing slump of the stockmarket in regards to the recent global health crises, there will be high rate debt heading Manchester United's direction in the summer of 2020 which will inevitably limit the level of expenditure original planned to be executed by Manchester United during the 2020 summer transfer window. From all indication and all the few scoops received here at ManchesterUnitedPost, the Red Devils will most likely not engage in any incoming or any outgoing transfer during the upcoming 2020 summer season. What this means is players such as Paul Pogba, David De Gea, Juan Mata and possibly Alexis Sanches( expected to return from his loan move to Inter Millan in the summer)  is expected to extend each of their Manchester United careers for a few more seasons due to Manchester United inability to close out desired permanent deals for these players during the 2020 Summer season.  








A large volume of Manchester United fans continues to show discomfort.in having, a couple of players remain in Ole Gunner Solkjaer's current squad insisting more improvements should be made. However, signs around Old Trafford suggest Manchester United are adamant in retaining the shape of their current squad to close out the current season and heading into next season with the same group of players. 


May not be the best outcome envisioned by the fans but considering the current situation, retaining the current squad might be the best outcome for the Manchester United football club.
