MANCHESTER UNITED READY TO THINK POSITIVE BUT REMAIN REALISTIC ABOUT FUTURE PLANS
Jadon Sancho heading to Manchester United in the summer of 2020 can safely be said that the situation is close to being a called a done deal. At least according to information received here at the ManchesterUnitedChannel website.
If you are Manchester United supporter who has been out of the loop with what’s happening around your favorite football club here is a little summary of the most part: Manchester United fans are concerned that the anticipated financial reduction within the global economy anticipated to take place in the next coming months of the 2020 summer season will result in Manchester United failing to complete more than two signings this summer. This idea was more or less confirmed in April 2020 by Manchester United executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward with a clear message that the 2020 summer window will not be business as usual for the Red Devils. With this understanding at hand, Manchester United will more than likely head down the part of completing one signing this summer which from the news received here at ManchesterUnitedChannel the player will be 20 years old forward from England. How are Manchester United fans responding to the situation?
Not great. With Manchester United showing signs of struggle to break into the top four of the Premier League table before the emergence of Bruno Fernandes, the expectation heading into the 2020 summer season was that the Red Devils will spend sufficiently to sign two extra midfielders of the same quality caliber as Bruno Fernandes and two players whom will cost just as much as Bruno Fernandes did when the Portuguese midfielder joined Manchester United for a complete sum of 68 million in total back in January 2020.
After witnessing the level of improvement the Portuguese sensation has delivered in barely three months as a Manchester United player, high anticipation over the possibility of the Red Devils signing a lot more expensive, quality midfielders and attackers during the 2020 summer season have naturally swirled around online and through various other media in the past four months.
However, Manchester United executives appear to have cooled down the storm through recent clarifications provided by the chief executives of Manchester United through Manchester United vice-chairman Ed Woodward.
“Nobody should be under any illusions about the scale of the challenge facing everyone in football and it may not be ‘business as usual’ for any clubs, including ourselves, in the transfer market this summer,” he told supporters at a fans’ forum on Friday.
“As ever our priority is the success of the team, but we need visibility of the impact across the whole industry, including timings of the transfer window, and the wider financial picture, before we can talk about a return to normality.
“On this basis, I cannot help feeling that speculation around transfers of individual players for hundreds of millions of pounds this summer seems to ignore the realities that face the sport.”

There you have football fans and football lovers everywhere. The news which most people expected comes from old Trafford yet for the majority of Manchester United supporters this is the news which the majority of Manchester United fans hoped will never arrive. While there are a couple of technical terms that can be used to describe the situation a little further the bottom line is that Manchester United will not be spending a lot of money this summer in regards to signing players this summer. This news does not in any way certify that Manchester United will not be signing any player at all this summer.
The board of directors at Manchester United football club appear to be aware of the current need for a bit more improvement within the Manchester United team and are fully invested in working alongside current manager Ole Gunner Solskjaer on implementing any further improvement needed within the current team in terms of players signed and players released this summer. However, realistic goals and achievable targets appear to be at the core of Manchester United transfer targets heading into the 2020 summer transfer window so far.
For the most part, Manchester United football club seems to be operating with a realistic mindset this summer in terms of building their current squad to reach the desired level of a team deservedly called premier league champions and UEFA Champions League champions once again shortly. Building and improving the current Manchester United squad through the transfer window continues to be the main focus of Manchester United football club moving into the near future.
However, the apparent twist in tale this summer for Manchester United is that rather than the high rate of money usually invested in signing two or three players, Manchester United will likely see the signings made this summer cut to players maximum signed by the end of the 2020 summer transfer window. Not the best news received by Manchester United fans considering the number of potential targets the Red Devil had on their sights this summer.
Saul Niguerez, Jadon Sancho, James Madison, and Jack Grealish continue to remain in Manchester United transfer list as potential players to arrive at Old Trafford during 2020 as Manchester United board of directors continue to work with Manchester United manager Ole Gunner Solskjaer as well as the entire managerial staff at Old Trafford as the club aims to keep building Solskjaer team into a team which can potentially go on to successfully lift both the Premier League and the Champions League trophy in the course of the 2020/21 season. Will Manchester United sign all three players this summer? Realistically no. At the moment Saul Niguerez appears to be the one realistic option for Manchester United this summer.
Athletico Madrid will be in search of fiscal stimulus this summer and a deal between both Manchester United and Athletico Madrid can be an advantage to both the Spanish side and the English side respectively this summer.
