Manchester United midfielder adjustments: sell Eriksen and Casemiro, bring in Walton and Rigg

May 19th News Recently, "Manchester" analyzed which deals Manchester United should work hard to complete to update the midfield selection, which involves the transactions of many players in the team.

With only two games left, Manchester United's transfer direction this summer may be affected by the results of the UEFA Cup final. If they can win, they will be sure to qualify for the Champions League, which will make them more attractive to potential signing players. Champions League qualification will also increase their transfer budget, bringing Amorin more bargaining chips to sign his favorite players.

Since Amorin changed the team's formation to 3421 in November last year, players who had previously played fullbacks in the four-back system had to adapt to the new role. Amorin's preferred formation includes two wingbacks and two central defenders, and the wingbacks need to actively return to defense like an offense to assist three central defenders.

Leaving the team

The only one among Manchester United's wingbacks who should take the initiative to sell this summer is Marasia, who is currently on loan to Eindhoven. He proved that he was not suitable for the role of the wingback after appearing under Amorin for 8 times.

Malasia's career was built on the traditional left-back, lacking the aggression and athleticism needed as a wingback. His performance at Eindhoven also failed to meet expectations, making only 12 appearances since February, so there may not be many offers, but Manchester United will need to deal with him anyway.

In addition, Manchester United also needs to lower the average age of midfielders, and both Eriksen and Casemiro should leave the team. Erikson will leave the club after his contract expires, and despite his outstanding performance in the past three seasons, it is time to part ways.

Although Casemiro's performance in the UEFA Cup is eye-catching, Manchester United should also try to sell it. The 33-year-old Brazilian has struggled to keep up with the Premier League game, and Manchester United must sell him for £15m this summer to avoid financial losses.

In addition, Manchester United should consider lending Dan Gore for another season. He has been loaned to Portville and Rotherham United in the past two January, but both loans have been interrupted due to injury issues. United staff are very optimistic about Gore, who will benefit from a full loan season and get more game time.

Registers

Amas has been promoted to the first team this season and is confident that he can compete with Dogu in the left-wingback position next season. But at the right-wing back position, Manchester United may need fresh blood. Although Mazravi has performed well this season, he has limitations on his offense and may be more suitable for the central defender position in the long run.

If this is true, and Amad is used as one of the No. 10 players, Dalot may need a competitor. There are some young players in the Manchester United academy who can compete in this position, such as Camason, but they may need a more experienced player to challenge Dalot. Dogu and Amad can also play right wingbacks, at least they have alternatives.

In midfield, Ugat grew up in his first season at Old Trafford, but he has not yet proved himself the top spoiler Manchester United expected. If Casemiro leaves, he needs to be replaced by a younger player.

Crystal Palace's Walton was once linked with Manchester United in January. He was able to control the game, push goals and win possession, and was an ideal candidate for Manchester United's midfield evolution, but his transfer fee could be as high as £60 million.

Manchester United may also consider replacing Eriksen with younger players, but it depends on finding players who are willing to wait patiently and develop. Sunderland's Chris Riger has been linked to Manchester United and is a player with great potential. However, B Fee has proven himself very effective in midfield this season, and Menu can also play in the eighth position, although his long-term position has not been determined yet.
