Sir Jim Ratcliffe can open a new era for Man Utd if he decisively invites Jurgen Klopp, who has just announced his departure from Liverpool at the end of the season.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe has bought back 25% of the shares in Man Utd and will soon manage the club’s sports department. When he arrived in Manchester, the British billionaire affirmed that he would not massively pour money into the club but would gradually rebuild a winning culture for the Red Devils. He also promised to upgrade Old Trafford and Carrington training ground.
Sir Jim will strongly reform Man Utd from next season.
Regarding Erik Ten Hag ‘s future , despite the team’s shaky performance recently, Sir Jim agreed to let him lead Man Utd until the end of the season, with the condition of reaching the top 4.
At this time, Man Utd is ranked 8th, 11 points away from 4th place. Of course, with a more stable performance, they can completely realize this goal.
However, a big variable has just appeared in the market and Sir Jim can fully take advantage of this to promote the revolution at Old Trafford.
Recently, the British press simultaneously reported that Jurgen Klopp will leave Liverpool at the end of this season. This is not only the person who helps The Kop have a fiery way of playing, but also plans the future for Liverpool very clearly.
“I have to explain a little. People often see the work I do on the field, like standing outside directing, working on the practice field. But most of the work is off the field. That means when a player The season starts, you have to plan for the next season,” Klopp said in his farewell message to Liverpool.
The lack of a strategist capable of planning the team is what has caused Man Utd to struggle for more than a decade.
One can see that Ten Hag is making great efforts to “apply” his football style to Man Utd . Unfortunately, after two seasons, Ten Hag still cannot find a way to play that suits the current personnel at Old Trafford.
Klopp suddenly announced his farewell to Liverpool.
In terms of personnel management, Ten Hag received a heavy minus point when there were conflicts with Cristiano Ronaldo or Jadon Sancho. Former Man Utd midfielder Nemanja Matic recently revealed that during his time playing at Old Trafford, Pogba or Sancho were the ones who were often late for practice. Even the amount of money that Man Utd players have to “pay a fine” at the end of the season is up to 75 thousand pounds.
Man Utd needs a new coach, someone who can truly create discipline both on and off the field . They were distracted by too many things and lacked an iron hand from someone respected by all.
With those criteria, no one is more suitable than Klopp at this time to sit in the hot seat at Man Utd. I’m afraid the Red Devils’ new board of directors isn’t reputable enough to convince a “star” like Klopp. Or maybe because of his love for Liverpool, Klopp will politely decline the invitation from Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
