Jonny Evans knows Manchester United from the time of Sir Alex Ferguson, he knew what it was like in the dressing room, so I believe he is more than just a player for rotation but also for experience and leadership of the dressing room, pitch and club. He is a much better player than Harry Maguire for me. Feels good to see Manchester United extending his contract until next season.

You are actually right. With the current situation of the Manchester United dressing room, actually, with the current situation of Manchester United club as a whole, I think they need some players who can actually provide some wisdom for the team. But other than that if we look at it from the perspective of his contribution in the field, he is nothing but a squad rotation player that will be used in those matches where Manchester United needs to rest the main 11 players. You know these are actually the last days of him playing at the top level of competitions. But he was definitely useful for Manchester United in the last season and maybe they will be able to use him in this upcoming season as well, I've seen he is very well motivated for 2024/25.

Liverpool is still very silent in the transfer window which is quite interesting to me.    There is one month to go for the Premier League to restart. One month left and still no transfer must be worrying for Liverpool fans. Of course there is no important player they have lost recently either. But still I thought there would be some players Arne Slot would like to see in his team. 

I'm curious about whether Salah will leave this summer as well. Al-Ittihad has been interested but no official offer yet as far as I know. Liverpool had better be ready to find a solid replacement in case it happens.

Meanwhile, for their arrival this season, there is only Joshua Zirkzee, a center-forward from Bologna who is considered quite suitable for Man United.

Zirkzee is a good transfer in my opinion. After parting ways with Martial, the only mainly CF left in the squad was Hojlund. They needed some more squad depth in the position and Zirkzee has arrived. 

Zirkzee was a solid transfer by Ten Hag. Losing Martial is obviously leaving a loophole in Manchester United's attack. So, Ten hag take the right step to bring Zirkzee from Bologna to the united. A smart move from Ten hag. Im not even feeling worry to bet on United once Hojlund gets injury.

Ten Hag is now seeing the problem he must solve. It shows his effort to rebuild United and compete for the title in the coming season. Ten hag needs only to strengthen their defensive line.

The transfer fee is said to be 42.5 million euros. I think it is a good amount for a young player whose future looks bright. Rashford can also play as CF but he should just be sold already. One season he is great, in another he is the opposite. This can't go on like that. You need to be consistent after a point. Rashford isn't a rookie either so this shouldn't be tolerated by the Red Devils. I'm curious whether there is any interested team this summer.

Zirkzee has impressive performance in Bologna. His price is far lower than Hojlund's. That's a smart buy by Ten Hag.

About Rashford, He was sometimes playing as CF. This was because Manchester United had no strikers left at that time. Rashford is the only guy who can play better as central striker. The red devil has not included Rashford on their future plan, and i expect Ten hag tries to sell him soon.

I'm very surprised that Liverpool is yet to sign a new player at this time of the summer. After Jurgen Klopp left the club, I expect the new manager to sign few new players that'll probably suit his style of football but since he's yet to sign any

After Jurgen Klopp left the club, I expect the new manager to sign few new players that'll probably suit his style of football but since he's yet to sign any new player to the club, I think he's probably okay with what he has already or he's probably weighing his options which he'll probably sign before the end of the summer transfer window.
For Mohammed Salah, I'm surprised that nothing have been said about him and his future but there are reports that Liverpool has gotten offers from few Saudi Arabian clubs however, none of them have been confirmed by the club. I don't know if the new manager will want to continue to work with Mohammed Salah but I believe clarifications about his future will be made known soon.

I don’t think the new coach will want to maintain the players that Klopp left, maybe he is just observing first, or maybe he thinks the current players will fit the style of his play also, but the transfer window is still open and there is still time. We just have to wait and see the next step that he will take. But if he knows what’s best for him, then he should just sign more players, he shouldn’t rely on the players that he is currently having in the club because some patterns of play might not be similar to his own.

The problem in this case is that Ten Hag really cannot provide the best in the selection of prospective Manchester United players and to date when he took office we can certainly see some of the players he brought in in the end ended in failure.
Some of the names that Ten Hag did bring in during his coaching until now especially at high prices include Antony, Mount, Onana and Hojlund almost all the players brought in have a fairly large price but in the end it only ends in failure and even for Mount maybe this time he was the worst because during 1 season he was brought in by Manchester United only 14 times he played (mostly starting from the bench) and only scored 1 goal and that is clearly not a good performance for a player worth 60 million.

It's important to see how the player fits in with the club in the end but Ten Hag can't do that because most of the players he brings in are always Eredivisie players or players he has coached. So for this transfer season, of course, Manchester United must be more careful in choosing new players so that the money spent is not comparable to the performance given.

Some of the players who are already there for me are pretty good the squad that Klopp left just needs a combination of strategies from Arne Slot how to adjust the game to his tactics because if you change the total whole that Arne Slot wants it will be difficult to do unless slowly in the next few seasons.

If you don't sell some players maybe Arne Slot will sell players in the first half of the season if the transfer window is open, if there are players who don't suit him, but so far Arne is still happy with the squad he has meaning there is no significant shortage just need to add a few players so far there are still no rumors.

ETH was asked to stay, and if the team decided to keep Erik Tan Hag, then they have to follow what he wants. And with typical Dutch manager fashion, he brought in the next star on his list, because he knows how to manage Dutch players and that is who he wanted. I believe that we are going to see them do much better with time, and ETH is building a team that he can control and he can manage.

This transfer could be a great one or a terrible one, we do not know but what we know is that they are trying to do their best, which is all you can ask from them. This may take a while, but it doesn't mean that we are not going to see any success, of course they are going to do fine, they just need some time but could be great right away too.
