Werner's 'Reason For shock' Lost To Tottenham Has Been Revealed

While Tottenham Hotspur is expected to sign Timo Werner on loan, Manchester United (Manchester United), which aimed for Werner first, has only tasted the taste.

However, in reality, Werner would not have gone to Manchester United even if he did not go to Tottenham.

This is because Manchester United does not even know who the club needs.

Football transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano said in a column on the 7th (Korea Standard Time) in the soccer media Cut Offside, "Manchester United is not able to determine which striker to bring in on time."

"Manchester United had Werner as a candidate for recruitment, but canceled it in the middle," Romano said, "because we don't know which player will help the club."

It is quite hard to believe that a large club like Manchester United has not figured out who is needed in the right place for the reason why it is struggling to supply and demand players.

In particular, since it has been more than a week since the winter transfer market opened, it is more difficult to accept because it means that Manchester United has not planned to reinforce the team at all.

However, it has already been predicted that Manchester United will lack preparation.

Global sports media "The Athletic" analyzed Manchester United's move to the winter transfer market on the 4th and cited the lack of a control tower to arbitrarily decide on recruitment as a problem.

Adam Krafton, a reporter for the media, once said, "We need to appoint a sports director quickly," adding, "Other clubs will already be finishing their plans in the winter transfer market and looking into players to recruit in the summer, but Manchester United is not even planning because there is no management team to recruit."

Manchester United recently received an investment from James Ratcliffe, the head of British chemical industry company Ineos, through the purchase of a 25 percent stake in the club.

Ratcliffe, who became co-owner with the Glazer family, advocated management reform and led to the resignation of Manchester United's vice president Richard Arnold and the departure of sports director John Murtaugh. Currently, Manchester United are considering several candidates to fill Murtaugh's vacancy.

In response, Krafton said, "If we don't quickly appoint a sports director and make a plan, we will have to spend another six months flatly," adding, "Over the past 12 months, we have failed to move forward and have been fixed." Manchester United has so far raised funds for recruitment

If the recruitment of sports directors is not accelerated, the prediction that problems will arise has been revealed as a reality. Since there is no one in charge of recruiting and evaluating players, it is not easy to grasp what the problems of Manchester United are, and it is impossible to know who the players are needed.

Team Talk, a British football media outlet, also criticized Manchester United's slowness, saying, "If Werner succeeds in Tottenham, it is obvious that Manchester United coach Eric Turnhach and the club will have cold eyes."


"Werner was desperate to play under Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou," Romano said. "Postecoglou also believes that it is a great opportunity for Werner to make a comeback." The harmony between the club and the players is already visible.

According to Romano, Werner is expected to fly to London within 24 hours, conduct a medical test, and sign the contract. 스포츠토토

Tottenham plans to pay the full amount of Werner's weekly salary instead of RB Leipzig, his original Bundesliga team. It is also known that Tottenham signed a contract that inserted a complete transfer clause worth 18 million euros. Romano also added that the clause is optional.
