[인터풋볼] Reporter Jong-Heon Oh = Manager Eric Ten Haach’s first signing is expected to be Ibrahim Sangare.
British ‘Cut Offside’ reported on the 29th (Korean time), “Manchester United are watching PSV Eindhoven midfielder Sangare. They are looking for a cheaper alternative to Declan Rice.”
Ten Haach has become Manchester United’s new manager. Manchester United officially announced the appointment of Ten Haach as manager on the club’s website on the 21st. Ten Haach, who currently leads Ajax, will be appointed to Manchester United after the season is over and his contract is for three years. He also includes a one-year extension option.
Manchester United ended the season with a disappointing result. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was sacked and Ralph Rangnick took over as the manager temporarily, but the military officer was confirmed without a clear reversal. Even in the English Premier League (EPL), there is no guarantee that they will be in fourth place. Now we have to prepare for the new season.
Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) manager Mauricio Pochettino was initially a strong candidate. However, the final choice was director Ten Haach. Manager Ten Haach, who led Ajax to the UCL semi-finals in the 2018-19 season, is taking on a new challenge at Manchester United. In particular, there will be a major reorganization of the squad.
Earlier, coach Rangnick said, “United needs rebuilding. There could be 6-7 or 10 new players. Liverpool have a better squad than us, and that’s the result now.” did. Rangnick will serve as Manchester United’s consultant for the next two years after completing his provisional managerial role.
As a result, many players were mentioned as candidates for signing. At the forefront, Harry Kane, Darwin Nunez, Pau Torres, and Julien Timber are known as cards to reinforce the defense. Strengthening the midfield is also essential. Nemanja Matic has already confirmed their breakup, and Paul Pogba is likely to leave Manchester United after the season is over.
Manchester United have been consistently linked with Rice. However, as Rice’s transfer fee is known to be £150 million (about 238.1 billion won), it is gradually moving away. Instead, Sangare quickly emerged as a new candidate. The Côte d’Ivoire midfielder Sangare has been playing for PSV since 2020.
As soon as he joined, he immediately established himself as a key midfielder. He has also recorded 3 goals and 1 assist in 25 appearances for the Dutch Eredivisie this season. Sangare is being evaluated as a midfielder who shows strength in air power and defensive ability that comes from his 191cm tall height. The transfer fee is estimated at 30 million pounds (about 47.6 billion won).
