The Man Utd is lagging behind in the market compared to other big clubs in the premier league. The Manchester City has already presented the scorer Erling Haland and the Liverpool to the gunner Darwin Nunez. Meanwhile, United are saying goodbye to top-tier players like Paul Pogba and, for the moment, the objectives that the new coach of the ‘red devils’, Erik Ten Hag, has proposed to return the historic club to the elite. One of those goals, if not the main one, is Frankie de Jongthe Dutch midfielder FC Barcelona to which the former coach of Ajax launched into the international limelight when both coincided in the Amsterdam team. To activate negotiations that are not prospering as they should, The Athletic He advanced that Manchester United is finalizing the hiring of an executive who comes with the temporary assignment of helping to crystallize all the now paralyzed summer transfers. that man is Tom Keanebrother of the defender EvertonMichael Keane.
Specialist in legal affairs, Tom Keane would come to alleviate the loss of senior executives that United has suffered in recent times. Keane works for the Brandsmiths law firm and would help fill the void he leaves behind. Matt Judgecollaborating with the director of football, John Murtough. Judge resigned from his role as United’s director of football negotiations in April, but he was not done waiting for a suitable replacement to take over the negotiations of what is understood to be a crucial summer at Old Trafford. Also Executive Vice President Ed Woodward was replaced by Richard Arnold on February 1, while the director of strategy, Hemen Tseayohead scout, Jim Lawlorand the global head scout, Marcel BoutThey also left the club.
This lack of purchasing power has made nervous, among others, Cristiano Ronaldo, which has seen how the historic club has been left out of the next edition of the Champions League. The Portuguese crack has been in recent days at the center of all the rumors of another illustrious next exit, relating it to clubs like Bayern.
Keane, who would come to grab the market bull by the horns, was listed as an FA-registered broker for New Era Global Sports, a players’ agency with links to former United defender Rio Ferdinand. As detailed by The Athleticm, the British Football Association confirmed that Keane is no longer a registered intermediary and that will allow him to legally access the position for which United wants him.
Tin Hag he’s starting to be in a hurry, as United haven’t signed this summer yet. Frenkie de Jong, 25, is his first target, but the surveys that Manchester United have done so far about FC Barcelona have fallen far short. as reported MD, a firm offer has not existed, among other things because United have not yet convinced Frenkie to leave the Camp Nou. De Jong has the same concern that CR7 feels: he wants to play in the Champions League. In addition, the ‘oranje’ international always says and repeats that he is “at the best club in the world”. That lack of steps forward in the ‘red devil’ market explains incorporations like the one that is being developed with Keane. In Manchester they have it clear: before signing players, you have to sign the signing agent. Or, at least, to the ‘plugger’ of signings.
