Man United’s sublime XI if Sheikh Jassim lands all three of his ‘priority transfer targets’

The sky could be the limit for Manchester United if Sheikh Jassim completes his lucrative takeover  from the Glazers.

Manchester United takeover hopeful Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani will reportedly go after the French trio of Kylian Mbappe, Kingsley Coman and Eduardo Camavinga this summer if his attempt to buy out the Glazers is successful.

we takr you through how that could transform Erik ten Hag’s starting XI, with Red Devils fans dreaming of fresh backing in the transfer market.

Goalkeeper: De Gea,Heaton

While United are thought to have tossed and turned over the idea of signing a new stopper before next season, reports indicate that talks have taken place behind the scenes and a new contract for David de Gea is not far away.

The Spaniard is still an elite shot-stopper, but he continues to cause problems in possession and many United fans felt that his disastrous display against Sevilla in the Europa League last month may have been the final nail in his coffin.

Though Tom Heaton is approaching the twilight years of his career, his presence in the dressing room is valued by Ten Hag and he may consequently end up staying put.

Defenders: Frimpong, Dalot, Torres, Varane, Lindelof, Martinez, Shaw, Malacia

United want a new right-back this summer, with Aaron Wan-Bissaka potentially primed to be put up for sale.

And Jeremie Frimpong has been strongly linked, meaning it’s not a stretch the former Celtic star will end up returning to Britain this summer.

United are likely to move on club captain Harry Maguire, who has endured a difficult season so far.

And it’s possible they’ll reignite interest in Pau Torres, with the Spain international being linked with a move away from Villarreal as the summer transfer window nears.

Diogo Dalot, Raphael Varane, Victor Lindelof, Lisandro Martinez, Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia should then make up the rest of the club’s defensive options for next term.

Midfield: Camavinga, Eriksen, Casemiro, Fred, Fernandes, Sabitzer, Van de Beek

It recently emerged that Sheikh Jassim had three dream transfer targets for United.

And Eduardo Camavinga was one of them, with the France international shining for Real Madrid ever since his move from Rennes two years ago.

While Real would likely play hardball over the midfielder, Sheikh Jassim will have the resources required in order to lessen their resolve.

With Jude Bellingham due to move to the Bernabeu, it’s possible the La Liga giants will agree to a deal.

Christian Eriksen, Fred, Bruno Fernandes and Donny van de Beek should still be at the club next season. Likewise Marcel Sabitzer, who has impressed since his January loan move.

Forwards: Rashford, Antony, Coman, Mbappe, Garnacho, Martial, Amad

The other two signings Sheikh Jassim apparently dreams of making are Kingsley Coman and Kylian Mbappe.

Coman could replace Jadon Sancho, amid suggestions Ten Hag is starting to grow frustrated with the youngster, while Mbappe would be a major, major upgrade on Wout Weghorst.

Marcus Rashford, Antony, Alejandro Garnacho, Anthony Martial and Amad would make up the rest of United’s attacking options.

“That particular player was the reason we sacked Erik ten Hag and I have warned Ruud van Nistelrooy to avoid using him.

“That particular player was the reason we sacked Erik ten Hag and I have warned Ruud van Nistelrooy to avoid using him, If he breached the instructions then it will be over for him also”: Sir Jim Ratchliffe warns new Man United’s manager to avoid using ONE player who was the reason Erik ten Hag was sacked

Erik ten Hag has become the fifth Man United manager to be sacked in the last decade with the new club chiefs left unimpressed with his results this calendar year.

The Dutchman won two trophies in two seasons but guided United to their lowest Premier League finish last term. He was kept on by the new board this summer following an end-of-season review.”

However, having won just three of his first nine league games this campaign, Ten Hag has been relieved of his duties after 128 games as manager. Step-in caretaker Ruud van Nistelrooy takes charge while a permanent successor is sourced.

Van Nistelrooy becomes the ninth different figure – temporary or permanent – to lead the club since Sir Alex Ferguson’s retirement in 2013. He follows Ryan Giggs, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Michael Carrick in being among the Scot’s former players to take charge of United.

Earlier this month, Sir Jim Ratcliffe informed Ferguson that he would be relinquishing his role of club ambassador at the end of the season. It is thought the move is part of his cost-cutting exercises at the club, having already sanctioned the redundancies of 250 staff members this year.

However, the 72-year-old – who wishes to see United build a new 100,000-seater Old Trafford – has made clear that decisions regarding the first-team manager are not within his remit.

Asked about the future of Ten Hag earlier this month, Ratcliffe deflected: “I like Erik. I think he’s a very good coach but at the end of the day it’s not my call, it’s the management team that’s running Manchester United that have to decide how we best run the team in many different respects.”

Ratcliffe oversaw a revamp of the United boardroom this summer, with old figures ushered out and new top brass headhunted. Former Manchester City chief Omar Berrada was announced as the club’s new CEO in January while technical director Jason Wilcox was pinched from Southampton.

United had to fork out compensation to Newcastle United when acquiring sporting director Dan Ashworth, who insisted that the decision to keep Ten Hag was made before his summer arrival. United will lose around £17million in sacking compensation to Ten Hag.

Ineos sporting chief Sir Dave Brailsford and Ineos CEO Jean-Claude Blanc are also on the board while Christopher Vivell sits as director of global talent.

While clarifying his role in the managerial turnover process, Ratcliffe urged the boardroom to “to take stock and make some sensible decisions,” having “not been there a long time.”

He underscored: “Our objective is very clear – we want to take Manchester United back to where it should be, and it’s not there yet, obviously – that’s very clear.”

Ten Hag out!! Predicted Man United line up under Xavi Hernandez – as INEOS set to sack Ten Hag if He fails to deliver West Ham game tomorrow

Barcelona legend Xavi has made his stance on Manchester United clear amid reports linking him as a possible replacement for Erik ten Hag as manager at Old Trafford. Ten Hag is under mounting pressure following a lackluster start to the season, with his side winning only three of their first eight Premier League matches.
This disappointing run has fueled speculation about his future, and names like former England manager Gareth Southgate, Brentford boss Thomas Frank, and Xavi have all surfaced as potential replacements.
Xavi’s thoughts on Manchester United have resurfaced from a past interview, providing some insight into his view of the club.
Speaking after Barcelona’s Europa League tie against Manchester United in 2023, the former Barca midfielder expressed respect for the Red Devils and praised Ten Hag for the progress he had made with the team. “I think Manchester is coming back, and they showed their best,” Xavi said in an interview with TNT Sport. “We need to be proud.
I think both teams are more or less in the same moment, in the same position, that we are coming back. I said to Ten Hag now, ‘Congratulations,’ because he’s doing very well and they are Manchester United.”
Xavi’s remarks reflected his belief that both Barcelona and United were in periods of rebuilding, with the potential to reestablish themselves as top contenders in Europe.
He even hinted that future meetings between the two clubs could happen in the latter stages of the Champions League. His praise for United and Ten Hag has now taken on new relevance as discussions about his potential move to the Premier League intensify.
Reports have emerged suggesting that Manchester United CEO Omar Berrada traveled to Spain for two rounds of talks with Xavi to explore the possibility of bringing him to Old Trafford.
However, it seems that Xavi, who is currently enjoying some time away from the game, is not interested in cutting his break short. According to the Spanish newspaper AS, the 44-year-old has no intention of returning to management just yet, even if it means passing up a significant opportunity with a club as prestigious as Manchester United.
Meanwhile, Ten Hag has addressed the ongoing rumors surrounding his job, expressing frustration with the media’s portrayal of his situation. Before United’s recent 2-1 win over Brentford, Ten Hag dismissed the speculation, calling it “noise” created by the press. “Noise is only coming from some of you [media], creating stories and fairytales, bringing lies,” he said.
Ten Hag emphasized that while the team is unhappy with its current position in the league, they remain calm and confident in their plan. He assured that despite the speculation, he believes success will come under his leadership.
The situation leaves Manchester United in a state of uncertainty, with Ten Hag fighting to keep his position amid a difficult run of form, while Xavi, one of the names floated as a possible successor, seems uninterested in taking over at this time. As rumors continue to swirl, both the club and its fans await further developments.
