MANCHESTER UNITED ERIK TEN HAG REBUILD CONTINUES AS THE 2023 SUMMER TRANSFER WINDOW UNRAVELS- Manchester United Scrap Key Departure Which Had Been Planned To Be Carried Out Dur To Lack Of Depth In Erik Ten Hags` Attack (Part 20)

While performing as part of the Manchester United men's team throughout the 2022/23 season, Marcus Rashford's’ elite effectiveness as a left winger saw Erik ten Hag remain quite hesitant to deploy the English forward as a center forward throughout the 2022/23 season. Anthony Martial was realistically the preferred option up front, with the knowledge that the French forward having displayed precision finishing and elite accuracy throughout his time at Manchester United, Anthony Martial had realistically been the number one prepared option that Manchester United intended to see lead the Manchester United attack in the center forward position all throughout the 20/22/23 season.   



 

 

 

 

 

 

However, with a woeful injury record having dampened the career of the French striker at Manchester United at just 27 years old, Anthony Martial has the right mixture of experience and. quality. still left in the French striker when consideration is made about the football attributes the French forward brings to the table in terms of Anthony Martial being a quick striker who can use his qualities to facilitate Erik ten Hags' current system breaking which is centered around. Getting the ball to the striker and enough for the striker to implement quality, intrusive, passes to other Manchester United attackers to get Manchester United behind the opponent's defense.  








 

 

Elite hold-up play, quick 1-2 passes, and the ability to find the back of the net by delivering intrusive passes which facilitate Manchester United men's team towards getting the ball behind the opponent's defense are all understood to be necessary attributes that Erik ten Hag requires from any center forward implemented on the pitch for the Manchester United men's team with these attributes classified as necessary from any Manchester United man's team striker to help strengthen the level of effectiveness generated from the Manchester United mens team attack for this season at least.



The retention of Anthony Martial as part of the Manchester United team for the 20/23/24 season is understood to have been a decision that makes sense as a result of the above-mentioned reasons given by Manchester United executives and Erik Ten Hag. 

 
 

 

 


 

 

However, the decision to retain Anthony Martial as part of the Manchester United team for the 20/22/23 season Is understood to be mainly rooted in Erik Ten Hag Insisting that depth in the attacking area, particularly in the center-forward area, must be available for the Manchester United men's team during the 2023/24 season.









Even though Manchester United had the option of letting go of the player during 2023 even if the situation meant Manchester United taking a massive pay cut in the transfer valuation estimated to be demanded by unchastity United executives for any club intent on acquiring the services of Anthony Martial this 2023 summer transfer window, coupled with the fact that there was little to no club Intent on acquiring the services of Anthony Martial this 2023 summer transfer window, Manchester United's choice to retain the services of Anthony Martial is simply based on having some level of depth in the level of quality that exist within the. Erik Ten Hags’ attack for the 20/23/24 season.  

 

But at the same time, the decision to return the services of the French striker appears to be a much more sensible decision made by the Manchester United executive in conjunction with Erik ten Hag.   

 

With the departure of players such as Anthony Elanga and Wout Wei8ghorst and with the subsequent decision taken By Erik ten Hag coming into the 2023/24 season which states that Marcus Rashford will be deployed primarily on the left flank for this season for the majority of Marcus Rashfords’ future as a Manchester United player, despite the projected presence of the recently acquired striker Rasmus Hojlund who continues to be projected to be a striker set to make his debut in. September 2023., facilitating a departure for Anthony Martial, even on a free basis was a venture which Manchester United executives in conjunction with Erik ten Hag felt would have left the Manchester United men's team vulnerable in the Center forward position. 

 

 

 

 

 




 

Erik Ten Hag teams’ Inability to kill off games has been a major issue that which Manchester United Men's team could not shake off during the 2022/23 season which made the need to acquire a striker as well as retain substantial backup options in the center forward position a mandatory goal Erik ten Hag and the Manchester United executives embarked on accomplishing during the 2023 summer transfer Window.  

 

 

 

Off-ball runs. A term that proved to be rather important in the Erik ten Hag system and a term which proved to be rather difficult to almost impossible to implement for Erik ten Hag's team in various competitions during the 2022/23 season as a result of the presence of a dominant, effective, striker leading the attack for Manchester United last season. In the middle of the 2022/23 season, statistics presented had placed Manchester United as the seventh team with a 9.9% off-ball run made by the Manchester United attackers during the 2022/23 season.


Manchester United's difficulty to implement such off-ball runs had existed as a result of the absence of a dominant striker who can hold up the ball and deliver interconnecting passes to his teammates to continue to facilitate the Manchester United attack.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The lack of quality. options in the center forward department for Manchester United. Is understood to be a situation that Manchester United's internal sector feels might hinder the level of success projected as set to be potentially generated by the Manchester United men's team under manager Erik ten Hag during the 2023/24 season. The concern which still exists within the Manchester United internal circle as far as the Manchester United men's team is concerned remains that the lack of proper quality striker options despite the recent acquisition of Rasmus Hojlund might yet again play an important factor in hindering the level of success Manchester United men's team can achieve in the 20/23/24 season should Anthony Martial succumb to yet another injury depleting season.  

 

 





The effect of the absence of an efficient 3rd striker who can hold up the ball while implementing an effective link-up play to allow Manchester United players to progress forward or the absence of an abundance of strikers who could create space In the opponents' penalty box between the opponent defense to allow the ball emerge into the opponent penalty box and give the striker a chance of finishing the playoff for Manchester United, a level of quality understood to be expected from the presence of strikers Rasmus Hojlund and Anthony Martial, is understood to be the main reason why Manchester United executives and the Manchester United men's team managerial sector ultimately elected to retain the services of. Anthony Martial passed the 2023 summer transfer window.
