Old Trafford will serve as the venue for Manchester United’s Premier League match against Fulham on Saturday, February 24. The team captained by Erik ten Hag is sixth in the division and has won its last five games in all competitions.
Conversely, Sir Jim Ratcliffe is an Old Trafford supporter of Marcus Rashford. The Red Devils are making every effort to acquire the services of Gleison Bremer elsewhere.
Consequently, let us examine the most significant Manchester United transfer rumors that emerged on February 20, 2024.
Old Trafford is likely to retain Marcus Rashford beyond this summer.According to Football Insider, Sir Jim Ratcliffe is interested in keeping Marcus Rashford at Manchester United despite his recent struggles. The English forward has performed unremarkably in 30 appearances across competitions thus far, accumulating five goals and six assists. Recently, Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) have been linked to him.
The Red Devils, on the other hand, view the 26-year-old as an indispensable component of their strategies, and Ratcliffe concurs. Rashford’s record-setting 22/23 campaign has made INEOS cognizant of his qualities, and the club is eager to assist him in regaining his former form. Last season, the Englishman scored 30 goals and assisted on 11 more in 56 appearances across competitions.
An individual seeking Gleison Bremer is Old TraffordHeralde Gazzetta dello Sport reports that Manchester United is prepared to move Gleison Bremer to Old Trafford. Recently, the Brazilian defender has garnered attention with Juventus, and as a result, he has captured the attention of many at Old Trafford. It is anticipated that the Red Devils will acquire a new defender this summer in light of the ambiguity surrounding Raphael Varane’s future.
The Frenchman’s current contract expires at the conclusion of the current campaign; an extension has not yet been reached. Manchester United is receptive to the possibility that he departs and is considering bringing Bremer in to fill the vacancy. Even more, the Red Devils are prepared to present the Bianconeri with an offer that is difficult to decline. According to the report, any proposition exceeding €60 million may be satisfactory.
Anticipated to flourish at Old Trafford is Dan Ashworth
Ben Foster, a former goalkeeper for Manchester United, is convinced that Dan Ashworth will be an asset to the club. Under the new leadership of Sir Jim Ratcliffe, the Red Devils are extremely serious and have already targeted the sporting director of Newcastle United. Ashworth has been granted gardening leave by the Magpies in light of speculation that he will soon be departing for Old Trafford.
In an interview with The United Stand, Foster lavished Ashworth with praise.
“Several years ago, I was employed at West Brom alongside Dan Ashworth. He is exceptionally brilliant. It was he who obtained my signature. It’s safe to sаy that he’s performed admirably from West Brom to England to Brighton to Manchester United. The absence of a public statement from Dan Ashworth stating “I am not leaving” indicates that he is in fact departing. “The silence is deafening; it speaks volumes,” Foster remarked.
He proceeded:
He is en route to Manchester United and represents an outstanding acquisition. Concerning individuals he is considering signing, he conducts exhaustive research. He understands the personnel requirements for each department and the optimal management style. That gradually percolates downwards.”
In conclusion, he stated:
“He has a rapport with others, is well-versed in football, intelligent, straightforward, and cunning. All the patrons at the club adored him. He will be forthright and unvarnished in his assessment; he will not embellish a spade’s nature. “People prefer environments in which they are certain of their location.”
Manchester United hopes that Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS can herald in a new era at Old Trafford.
