Erik ten Hag left Man United almost a year ago, but his poor legacy remains. Now, Man United must deal with his unfortunate Joshua Zirkzee signing.
Ruben Amorim, in his first season in charge of Man United, left a lot to be desired. The Portuguese coach, who was expected to achieve big things, reached a Europa League final and finished close to the bottom of the Premier League table. A poor showing, all things considered.
Despite the poor display from Amorim, he's given a bit of leeway for one key reason: the man he took charge from. There was little Amorim could do, considering the mess he inherited from Erik ten Hag.
In Amorim's first full season in charge, he'll be judged fairer.
Man United considers selling Joshua Zirkzee
One signing made by Erik ten Hag that still plagues Man United is Joshua Zirkzee. He's only been around for a year, but he's struggled to hit the ground running. In fact, he hit the ground face-first.
Now, Man United is considering the possibility of ending the Joshua Zirkzee era. While they're reluctant to do so after just a year, reports from GIVEMESPORT suggest that Zirkzee could be sacrificed if, for whatever reason, Hojlund stays.
So, it looks like Man United will lose one of their two striker options. With Hojlund being the preferred option, Zirkzee isn't necessarily safe either.
Making room for a reliable striker addition
It's about time Man United improved their frontline. Last season was shambolic to watch and Man United fans counted their lucky stars for Bruno Fernandes. If it hadn't been for Bruno, Man United fans could have counted on one hand the amount of goals they would've scored.
So, the attack is a position of priority, and it begins with signing a new striker. Matheus Cunha is already in and hopefully Bryan Mbeumo is next, but those signings will account for nothing if the Red Devils don't land a prolific striker.
Reading between the lines, this is the plan, with one of Hojlund or Zirkzee making way for room in the squad.
