Original title: Eating one cut grows two wisdom!Manchester United shelved two main contract renewals and waited for Ten Hag to make a decision
On May 16, Beijing time, according to the “Mirror” report, Manchester United have confirmed that the issue of Luke Shaw and Fred’s contract renewal will not start immediately, but will wait for new coach Ten Hag to make a final decision. Decide.
Both players’ contracts at Old Trafford expire in 13 months, with Manchester United having the option to automatically extend their respective contracts for another year, and it is said that the Red Devils executives are considering whether to trigger the clause in order to give the new coach Ten Hag has more time to watch and ultimately decide if they are part of the club’s long-term plans.
The Dutchman will be the new manager of Manchester United this summer, in fact he should arrive in Manchester today and start his new job at Old Trafford immediately. Despite this, speculation remains that he may only appear in the stands to watch Manchester United’s season-ending away game at Crystal Palace, where interim manager Rangnick will usher in his farewell battle.
Luke Shaw and Fred have come under fire this season, raising doubts about their suitability to remain in plans to stay at Old Trafford, although it all comes down to Ten Hag’s opinion in the end.
Luke Shaw was lauded for his performances for England at Euros last summer, but he has struggled to replicate it this season. The 26-year-old has only played 20 Premier League games, his lowest figure since the 2017-2018 season, mainly due to injury and Rangnick’s preference for Dalot.
Fred was also in trouble. He’s been criticised for not providing enough protection for United’s back four, with many believing the 29-year-old Brazilian isn’t good enough to help the Red Devils compete for the Champions League and even Champions League qualification.
In fact, Ten Hag has made it clear that the team needs to introduce two new midfielders in the summer. Kante and Frenkie de Jong are the two most likely to appear on the current signing list.
The reason why Manchester United released such news is actually related to the renewal of fee B. They officially announced a four-year extension of the Portuguese contract a month ago, but they were immediately criticized by the media and experts.
Blindly offering a long-term contract to a player he doesn’t know enough while the new manager has yet to take up his duties is seen as a sign of the confusion at Manchester United’s management.
