Manchester United has struggled for the past decade, failing to recapture its past Premier League glory. Last season was particularly disappointing, with the team conceding a high number of goals and enduring a string of losses. However, a new era seems to be unfolding at Old Trafford.
A recent investment by Sir Jim Ratcliffe, which included a 25% stake acquisition and control of the footballing side of the club, has brought a wave of optimism. The club’s focus on appointing football experts to lead operations suggests a shift towards a more strategic approach.
Manager Erik ten Hag has been retained, and United has brought in exciting talents like Leny Yoro, Joshua Zirkee. The club is also linked to big names like Ivan Toney, Jarrod Braithwaite of Everton, Benjamin Sesko, etc.
This renewed focus on footballing expertise and shrewd signings suggests a promising future for the Red Devils. While a Premier League title challenge might be premature, a return to the top four and a significant improvement in performance seems on the horizon.
Nevertheless, a high profile preseason game in their USA TOUR against rival Arsenal and Liverpool, and also Real Betis and after Rangers 2-0, will serve their supporters a glimpse of what to expect in the upcoming season.
So, a warning to their rivals: Manchester United might be waking up from its slumber, and the upcoming season could be a sign of things to come.
