Champions League UCL
5 Players Man Utd Must Replace in the Next 5 Years
According to Tifo Football, Erik Ten Hag’s first season in charge of Manchester United has been largely successful. A few embarrassing defeats along the way, he has picked up a League Cup trophy and secured European football for next year.
But how far are United from challenging for the Premier League title? And can they do it with this squad? Man Utd need to think 5+ transfer windows ahead
SporstFila investigates the profile of the squad, and where they need to improve. Here are 5 Players Man Utd Must Replace in the Next 5 Years.
On top of a new striker and midfielder, we will likely need replacements for De Gea, Varane, Eriksen and Casemiro in the near future, as well as backups to replace Maguire, Martial and possibly Lindelof. With how much Fernandes plays who knows how long he can play at the required level. And if we sign Harry Kane he too will likely have to be replaced without resale. (in 5-7 years if we are lucky).
Ten Hag Shortlists 3 Goalkeepers to Replace David De Gea
Despite all the spending on players we have done, Arsenal and Man City are in a much better long-term position meaning we still have to invest heavily in the squad. Newcastle will be in the mix and you can’t count Liverpool out. Spurs could be taken over too in the next 5 years. If we don’t get the Qataris they will buy someone else, so you can guarantee there will be at least 4 other clubs challenging.
Can we really expect to keep up with the Glazers in charge? I think if they stay in control we are absolutely screwed. If Ratcliffe comes in we can only hope he invests enough, because if we don’t build a squad for the future the next 10 years will be no different from the last 10.
De Gea has to be replaced soon
If only they could have listened to ralf ragnick in that January transfer window to grab Julian Alvarez and Zakaria under low prices..ten hag’s work would’ve been so easy…it still baffles me that ralf ragnick as consultant of Man utd never happened.
The biggest issue the club has is moving players on. Offering huge deals to De Gea this year and Pogba last year is crazy. The club needs to learn that letting a player leave on a free or for under value is better than offering them a ludicrous contract.
is Harry Maguire Going Back to Championship Club Leicester City?
Arsenal were in this exact same position 3 years ago, ageing squad who wasn’t good enough, brand new manager who has never managed before, big money signings who flopped really hard and hostile supporters but luckily arsenal had supremely talented hale end graduates who were desperate to play in the first team. Martinelli, saka, smith-rowe and nketiah probably saved the club at least €300 million.
First, the right owner must take over, then the best backroom staff, after that can they think about the team. It all starts from the very top.
I don’t know seeing players dominate into their mid thirties like Benzema, Messi etc in today’s game makes me believe 30 being the point where most players retire is a thing of the past. idk there’s just too many players in their thirties playing world class. It might just be a new thing in modern football that’s the new norm rather than an anomaly.
I thought we needed a huge rebuild and expected a mid table finish this year. But we plastered over the cracks and went for Europe instead. I hope it works out and we can begin the true rebuild this year. If we can rebuild while in ucl then I’m happy bc it’ll be hard to draw players to a rebuild without top competition draw.
Who Manchester United will sign in a transfer window is an oft-repeated question football fans ask across a season, the club usually one of the most willing to splash the cash and put their money where their mouth is.
While this approach hasn’t resulted in a Premier League title in 10 years, Manchester United are invariably always willing to shell out on yet another high-profile transfer in a bid at glory once again.
Erik ten Hag New Manchester United to Dominate the English Premier League
They severely need younger reinforcements. KDB and gundo are well into their 30s already. City are fortunate that they both haven’t started declining just yet. Even Mahrez is 32. They need atleast 2 new midfielders and at least 1 new winger.
Victor Velasquez says to SportsFila.com: “I don’t know why people keep bringing up RB as a position to strengthen, has Dalot not been good? Has AWB not been rejuvenated this season? I’m not saying that if the opportuinity to sign someone like Jeremie Frimpong comes up they shouldn’t take it but surely a starting GK, CM, ST and a few depth players to raise their floor are more important than signing a new RB?”
Ten Hag speaks to Man United Players
United’s problem is top to bottom, they clearly lack a footballing minded decision makers in their board of directors. Ed Woodward’s almost decade long tenure was like a festering wound. Arnold & Murtough capability football wise is still yet to be seen. I wouldn’t fully trust anyone the Glazers appointed though. Tldr: they need a new owner.
Rio Ferdinand Reacts To Man Utd Season With Erik Ten Hag
The Dutchman is expected to want to strengthen several positions within his armoury, with central-midfield set to rank right at the very top of his list. The Reds are in desperate need of bolstering that area of the pitch and no shortage of names are already being linked with strengthening the engine room.
The reports of a smaller budget I would really avoid going for a few big signings but rather make the squad younger and more technical. Trust our scouts or go for players who Brighton and Benfica are interested in lol. Give ten Hag a base to improve on with a new goalkeeper, new centre midfielders, a new centre back and a striker. Reckon with sales can have a budget of 150 million.
he idea with the introduction of ETH was a rebuild. Im not too fussed about not competing for top trophies just yet, would rather see young quality players brought through and a style of play, discipline and winning mentality be instilled. This takes time. Spending money on big names has never gotten us anywhere in the previous windows. We need to be patient but deliberate.

3-3 draw between Manchester United and Galatasaray in UEFA Champions League – Group A. They also analyze the performance of goalkeeper Andre Onana and the chances of Erik ten Hag’s side of advancing to the knockout stages.
Not saying Onana is done at Utd but surely ETH needs to give the back up a chance at this point. Even DDG needed to come out of the team briefly when he first came to the club. Gives him a chance to build his confidence away from the spot light. But TBH DDG was never this bad to begin with sm
Throwing away leads, basic mistakes and tonight, despite Onana performing better recently we might as well have had Jonny Evans in goal.
7 Biggest Manchester United Flops Of All Time
As much as I like eth, he caused our exit by bringing in a keeper not too familiar with EPL. In fact he should not have sent David away the way he did. He should have kept him and the duo should have competed. Onana errors contributed a lot to the exit
Tactically, I think ETH did pretty much everything correctly. Outside of Magelof not being good enough in general, the only criticism I can offer is that Mainoo should’ve come on for McGhost after he scored his goal. Solidify that midfield and shut everything down.

The keeper had a bad game and had a lot already this season which isn’t great but let’s hope he gets better as the season goes cause I remember when De Gea first came to United and he was not great as well but he matured, got stronger and became a great goalkeeper. But ETH needs to replace Onana for the next game and let him know that he needs to step it up.
David de Gea short-term fix Manchester United
As a United fan I have to disagree with the assessment of the performance. There was no control, no maturity. United give the ball away far too easily for this level. When you have less possession than a Sean Dyche team and then get 43% against Galatasaray, you’re not the technical side the manager wants to build. I feel sorry for Onana, he’s been doing much better recently. The mistakes he’s making are so basic it speaks to a mental problem. My hope is that Onana will feel much more comfortable when we develop into the team Ten Hag wants. Need to bring in ball-playing CBs and controller midfielders in the next two windows. Then we’ll see the real picture.
I honestly hope we finish bottom of the group so they can just focus on the domestic front. This team is poor to say the least and we will get knocked out in the second round even if we scale through by some miracle. So best not to, as for “O na na, whats my name” Don called it! He needs to reassess his priorities as a goalkeeper… now I’m ranting on YouTube, darn you ManUtd!

Can David de Gea be the short-term fix Manchester United needs? | If I was him I wouldn’t go back there after the way he was disrespected .. I can’t believe the management could be this bold and daft after the treatment they gave that guy.
Don’t do it!!! They decided you weren’t good enough and decided to get onana. Even if you took a pay cut, it would of been to facilitate onana. That’s tells you what you need to know
Of course teams have offered him contacts and he’s chosen to say no. He’s said very clearly he’ll go to club fighting to win things and unfortunately all the top clubs have keepers. He might come back when the right club wants him.
Can Man United make it out of UCL Group A?
Wonder if Man U is telling Onana to skip the African cup due to his recent poor performances. Otherwise they’re telling him his spot is at risk
United have no transfer strategy so this potential move makes 100% sense. Afterall they bought Mason Mount for 50 million to warm the bench.
Onana/getty images/
It will be a mess and destabilising if we bring him back.. Shoking how he was treated after 12 years. And we bought a young goalkeeper, surely he gets a chance and we still have Heaton I believe.. What’s the point anymore? 😆 We’re a joke!

De Gea deserved better treatment. He should plain down reject any offer or entertain the offer just to reject it. The Man Utd negotiators could not negotiate their way out of a brown paper bag, absolutely disgrace to their profession.
If they bring him back prep for a new manager. Cause ten hag is clearly incompetent.
And he’s been offered but he won’t take less than what he is worth, he’s a golden glove winner and a legend 🤷🏽. Onana can’t even distribute this season and can’t stop a beach ball.
Tottenham Topping the Premier League table
It’s a strange one this because de Gea priced himself out of a job. He wanted a contract worth more than than the £375k a week he was already getting, and Man United originally agreed to one, and then changed their mind, and I don’t blame them. He’s worth $75 million thanks to MUFC.
He was the World’s richest goalkeeper last season, and while he is a great goalkeeper, most pundits would name either Nuer or the recently retired Buffon as the greatest goalkeeper of the last 15 years, and most pundits would put the Brazilian duo Ederson and Becker as the best keepers in the Prem right now. What I’m saying is that at $75 million net worth de Gea could have afforded to be philosophical about it all and perhaps taken a pay cut.

Christian Eriksen joins Peter Schmeichel for a post-game interview after a Man of the Match performance after Manchester United’s 1-0 win over Copenhagen. Eriksen came in as a second-half substitute and assisted Harry Maguire’s game-winning goal.
Still can’t believe Eriksen plays for Man United, especially after we all know what happened to him. I still remember that day and honestly thought we’d lost him. So happy to see him around and still playing.
Eriksen reveals secrets on Man Utd New Star Rasmus Hojland
Glad to see Eriksen get his praise. He was always my favorite player at Spurs. Lack of competition in the squad forced him to regress a bit in his career. Barcelona/Real Madrid were interested at him at a time. Then he went to the demon Conte, who doesn’t know how to handle flair footballers. And of course after his health situation, happy he got to perform at Brentford, and for Ten Haag with his creative flair. Though now Man Utd have both Ambrabat, and Casemiro, should make him perform much better in a free role! Or at least backup to Bruno.
What Really Happened to Jadon Sancho and Ten Hag?
The only reason i dont see Eriksen starting is because it doesn’t always look like he can play a full match, hence ETH has to be wise regarding when he should put Eriksen in the game. But everytime he’s subbed on, the entire team breaths easier and gains that extra sense of control. A game that was otherwise frantic, uncoordinated, improvised and scrappy, was all turned around when Eriksen came on the pitch. Gosh I wish we could see more to him.

The midfield in the Derby has to be him, Brumo and Amrabat.. whenever Eriksen plays deeper, it releases Bruno.. this experiment of Bruno playing as a deep playmaker and Mctominey as a 10/Second Striker has clearly failed.
We know Eriksen can’t play 90 minutes, but ETH should try to start with him and find a comfortable lead before subbing him off. I don’t remember Bruno having any influence on the game, or in previous games, he is so panicked in possession unlike Mr.Cool here. I would swap them around and see what happens.
