Beaten three times in four C1 matches this season (for one victory), the Red Devils want to get back on track. Last in Group A with 3 points, they can still qualify since Galatasaray and Copenhagen only have 4 points on the clock. Bruno Fernandes’ teammates hope to secure second place, since Bayern Munich is very far ahead (12 points).

Having gotten off to a bad start in the Champions League, the Mancunians are not in sparkling form in the Premier League despite finishing sixth in the standings. In total, the English club has already lost 9 matches out of the 19 played this season (all competitions combined). Annoyed, the leaders expect change. This is the case of Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who will buy part of the club’s shares. Recently, the British press spoke of its desire to bring down six heads, namely 3 managers and 3 players who are Jadon Sancho, Antony and Anthony Martial.

Two recruits threatened

Concerning the first named, we can say that Erik ten Hag agrees. For the other two, we do not yet know its official position. On the other hand, the Guardian And The Sun reveal that the Dutch technician wants to recruit four new players next January. He wants a striker, a central defender and two midfielders, including a defensive one. Just that ! Concerning the targeted players, the names of Timo Werner (Leipzig), Jean-Clair Todibo (Nice), Youssouf Fofana (Monaco) and Antonio Silva (Benfica) were mentioned.

Recruits who will cause victims. Indeed, the British media explain that Ten Hag intends to replace Sofyan Amrabat and Mason Mount, who have not given satisfaction. The first arrived on loan from Fiorentina. The second, who experienced physical problems, was bought for almost 65 million euros from Chelsea. He has not yet been decisive with his new club which has already lost patience. This is obviously the case for Erik ten Hag who has already targeted other players to revive the Mancunian machine.
