On May 3, Hupu announced that the famous transfer reporter Romano updated many different topics and situations related to Manchester United in his personal podcast!
Right now, we're going to talk about Manchester United, who are preparing for a return to the Champions League. So, what kind of transfer operations do you expect they will carry out?
I think this will be a very critical summer for Manchester United. First of all, Manchester United is expected to be very busy in the transfer market, with personnel movements, both players leaving and players joining. And as Manchester United returns to the Champions League again, congratulations to Manchester United. After all, this is a difficult season, especially in the first half. We remember that until the end of December and early January, when Manchester United decided to separate from Amorim, qualifying for the Champions League looked very difficult.
The team's situation changed after the arrival of Michael Carrick. This was the right decision. Choosing the right coach is not easy. In the end, Carrick became the choice. He performed very well as a coach. Manchester United successfully changed the atmosphere of the team and the atmosphere around the coaching team. I think this is an extremely important first step. The Champions League qualification is about to be obtained, with only one point left. Manchester United is preparing for an important transfer window, and the same is true in terms of investment.
What you mentioned was the head coaching situation. As far as Carrick is concerned, there are many other names. How do you feel about the position of the next head coach?
The information I know about Carrick is that he maintains a trend of continuing to serve as Manchester United coach and is a definite favorite to become the official coach next season. He is the clear favourite, and the club has passed that message on to Carrick and everyone at the club. We then wait for Manchester United's internal output decisions, so the internal process continues to evolve. United were very clear when they appointed Carrick on a temporary basis in January, telling him that we would assess all potential options at the end of the season and then facilitate a decision, and that is how things are progressing.
As a result, there are related discussions about coaches within the club. I can tell you that there is a very key figure within Manchester United who is keen to get Luis Enrique, but we already know that he is very likely to sign with Paris Saint-Germain. Therefore, there are discussions within Manchester United about some coaching personnel, but as far as I know at the moment, Carrick is the clear favorite, and the chances of him continuing to coach are increasing every week.
Then, we are waiting for the final judgment about Elora. There are many questions about him and many connections. I think these connections are arising, firstly, because he is obviously leaving Bournemouth. Secondly, because he has done a very good job there, which is clear. Thirdly, because he wants to continue to stay in the Premier League. Chelsea, Manchester United and many other clubs have contacted him. This is because he really wants to stay in England and stay at the highest level. However, there has been no in-depth progress with any club at the moment.
