INEOS must finally sell the big Manchester United team that earns more than Jarnacho

Only eight days from Manchester UnitedThe derby victory at Etihad Stadium was achieved suddenly Reuben Amorim.

He had no impression that this would be an easy task, but it certainly now confirms the enormity of the challenge he faces.

The Red Devils are struggling for consistency and this issue has been exposed in the run-up to Christmas.

That win away to rivals Manchester City was euphoric, but it was followed by a 4-3 loss to Tottenham and then a 3-0 defeat at home to Bournemouth. Not great.

There are a host of problems to be solved, not least Marcus RashfordThe future of the team, but Amorim also needs to bring more balance in attack and, more importantly, fix the defence.

Only one team this season Premier League (Wolves) sent more goals from set-pieces as United fell behind again through a set piece when Cherries centre-back Den Huysen was allowed the freedom of Old Trafford to return home on Sunday.

So, where does a new manager start? Well, he needs to get rid of some dead ends to allow the freedom to bring in players that suit his tactical style.

Manchester United players who could leave in January

The biggest elephant in the room at the moment is Rashford. The Carrington Academy graduate earned Amorim's tenure by scoring in the first minute during his debut for Ipswich.

Unfortunately, since then, the striker has not made much of an impression on the former Sporting coach. He has been left out of the last three matchday squads, and an exit in January appears inevitable.

According to some reports, Barcelona is one of the leading suitors To sign it at this moment.

The winger recently admitted that he is ready for a new challenge.

Who else can leave? Well, Casemiro has often been linked away over the past six months, and it may finally be time to take notice Advice from Jamie Carragher He heads to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Another high-paid player, Anthony, has found it difficult to find success under the new system, and is another striker who should make room as soon as possible.

specific Alejandro Garnacho – who was left out of the derby squad alongside Rashford – has also been the subject of interest from elsewhere, such as Atletico Madrid, Manchester City and Chelsea. He is reportedly monitoring the situation.

Compared to Casemiro (£350,000 per week), He is one of the lowest paid players at the club This means that it shouldn't be too difficult to find a suitor for him.

Tyrel Malacia earns significantly more than Garnacho, but may have great difficulty finding an interested party.

Why does Manchester United need to sell Terrel Melcia?

In the words of United reporter Alex Turk, The Dutch defender had a “difficult time” Since signing from Feyenoord during the Erik ten Hag era.

One of the failed moves in the Eredivisie, it's safe to say that he is one of, if not the worst purchase for the old regime, such as his performance levels and more importantly, availability.

After arriving in the summer of 2022, the 25-year-old has become a player He played only 43 times in United colours.

Interestingly, the Dutch full-back did not kick the ball last season due to injuries, which meant that he had to watch from the sidelines for an entire year.

In fact, when Amorim selected the defender as a wing-back in the club's 2-0 loss to Arsenal a few weeks ago, This was his first appearance since May 2023.

Since then, Melsia has competed on four more occasions but has barely set the world on fire. In fact, in three of his five games this season, he has been withdrawn at half-time.

Bukayo Saka turned the Dutchman inside out in that loss at the Emirates Stadium, and Bournemouth's Antoine Semenyu gave him the same treatment on Sunday afternoon.

As such, Amorim was particularly harsh and took him off the play at the break, leaving him to rue the clumsy challenge that led to Bournemouth scoring their first goal from a free kick.

During his time on the pitch, Malacia – who earns £75,000-a-week, £25,000-a-week more than the aforementioned Jarnacho – failed to create a single dribble or provide a single accurate cross, not numbers that could be linked to a wing-back in a system. Amorim.

So, it was time for him to pack his bags and leave. With a week to go in 2024, it would be a surprise if we see him in United colors again.

INEOS and the new management team should get rid of him in January and bring in a suitable replacement.
