Following a commanding 7-0 victory over Barnsley in the Carabao Cup, Manchester United officials might feel justified in thinking Erik ten Hag’s squad is finally making strides toward improvement.
It’s been quite some time since the Red Devils were considered the top team in the country, and they still have a way to go before they can reclaim such status. However, if they can find consistency in their performances, their potential is limitless.
A key factor in their progress will be how well they navigate the upcoming transfer windows.
Man United aims for long-term contracts with Mainoo and Amad
In the past, United has made costly mistakes, overspending on aging stars or seeing expensive signings fail to live up to expectations.
Now, the pressure is on Dan Ashworth to bring in players who not only fit ten Hag’s vision but also elevate the current squad significantly.
At the same time, retaining the club’s top young talent is crucial, though it may prove more challenging than anticipated.
According to reports from Fichajes, United is eager to secure long-term deals for both Kobbie Mainoo and Amad Diallo. However, both players are seeking assurances over their playing time before committing to new contracts.
With Mainoo’s impressive performances, the club can’t afford to play hardball in negotiations. To ensure they retain their brightest talents, United may need to meet their demands and finalize the deals. This would eliminate a key concern for the club and allow ten Hag to continue building his team with confidence.
