Names that the Dutch coach must especially consider if he continues in his position after the 2023/24 season.

The last time Manchester United fans saw Tyrell Malacia appear on the field in an official match of the main team was the encounter between the Netherlands and Croatia within the UEFA Nations League on June 14, 2023. Up to now, the defender born in 1999 has completely disappeared, even causing the media to raise many questions.

Malacia is Ten Hag’s first signature at Man United.

Malacia suffered a serious injury and relapsed many times, causing him to return to the hospital bed before returning to the first team at Man United. Throughout the 2023/24 season, the former Feyenoord player completely disappeared, making no contribution in a very difficult season for the Red Devils.


Because of this, Man United’s leadership, especially Erik ten Hag, needs to consider Malacia’s case. MU cannot rely on a potential young signature but continuously suffers such long-term injuries. Because even Luke Shaw, the club’s number 1 left-back, has been plagued by injuries for almost the entire season.

Man United will consider signing more full-backs and Malacia’s position is a top priority.

Casemiro

Along with Raphael Varane, Casemiro is one of two experienced Real Madrid players who landed at Manchester United. In fact, Casemiro’s performance in the 2022/23 season is truly classy, ​​eclipsing the £70 million transfer fee that MU had to pay to recruit a midfielder over 30 years old from Los Blancos.

Casemiro has fallen.

However, in the 2023/24 season, with his previous injury, Casemiro is no longer himself. His slipping form and poor physical condition have caused this holding midfielder to face many difficulties in the MU midfield. If Kobbie Mainoo is an interesting discovery and has many good performances this season , then Casemiro leaves a disappointing image with being out of breath, repeatedly making positional errors or failing passes, putting the MU defense in a dangerous position. .

Casemiro is still under contract with Man United until June 2026 and in fact, 32 years old is not too old to explain the Brazilian midfielder’s “decline”. But with the prospect of needing more fighting power for the midfield and fresh shots right from the midfield, Ten Hag must carefully consider Casemiro’s case.

Mason Greenwood

As soon as he was acquitted and released, Mason Greenwood’s career became brighter, with support from Man United. At Getafe, with a fresh start and what he has shown so far, Greenwood shows that his talent is still worthy of being in the first team of Man United.

Greenwood flourished at Getafe.

Currently, after 29 matches in all competitions for Getafe, Greenwood has scored 8 goals and contributed 6 assists. This statistic is even better than Marcus Rashford and Antony, the names playing in MU’s attack.

Surely Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Erik ten Hag both appreciate and want to bring Greenwood to Old Trafford, but the difficulties from “feminism” and the British media make it difficult to let go of the 22-year-old winger. Up to now, this is still a very unfortunate case for Man United from Carrington training facility.
