A real revolution was expected in Manchester United after the arrival of Erik ten Hag. The emphasis should have been on young players where there would be no place for footballers like Edinson Cavani, Nemanja Matic, Juan Mata…
On the one hand, all those listed more experienced footballers left the club this summer, but there has been no sign of the announced revolution.
So far, Manchester United have only managed to bring in the talented left-back Tyler Malacia despite having Luke Shaw and Alex Telles at their disposal?!
In some other places, it squeaks much more, which ten Hag was aware of, and for that very reason, he insisted that Nemanja Matic stays at the club!
In addition, Matic had great authority and charisma in the dressing room and was highly valued by the team, which is why Ten Hag was keen to keep him.

The Dutch coach believed that a player and a person of such a profile would be of great help to him at the beginning of his term at “Old Trafford”, but Matić still went in search of minutes.
The experienced midfielder was aware that he would not have a lot of playing time at United, which is why he decided to accept Jose Mourinho’s invitation to Roma and play at least two or three more seasons at a consistently high level during his career.
So ten Hag was left without an important resource in the new era of the famous club…
