Manchester United Reshuffles Team: Antony replaced as Bruno Fernandes and even Scott McTominay are all options but it’s time for Alejandro Garnachoto shine
Give Jadon Sancho a second chance
The report highlights that the allegations against Antony come less than 24 hours after Sancho publicly rifted with Ten Hag after the Arsenal match and left United with another headache.
Sancho’s days at the club appeared to be over after he accused Ten Hag of making him a scapegoat in a reckless social media post, and he almost joined Steven Gerrard’s Al-Ettifaq on the spot. before the Saudi Pro League transfer window closes. However, Antony’s departure comes at the perfect time for Sancho, opening up a place in the starting lineup and giving him the opportunity to put his dispute with Ten Hag behind him.
Sancho has not been able to reach his £74 million ($92 million) transfer fee since leaving Borussia Dortmund in 2021, but he has had his moments. If he can step up and work hard, putting his history of playing at the wrong times behind him, then he can return to the team. The big question is whether Ten Hag can forgive the winger for embarrassing him by responding to him in a public forum. The Dutchman is known for being ruthless with players who question his authority or perform poorly and Sancho is guilty of both counts.
However, compared to the crimes Antoine is accused of, Sancho’s crimes can certainly be brushed aside. And the winger has taken the first step towards reconciliation by deleting the offensive social media post. While Ten Hag has every right to be angry with the 23-year-old after being patient and sensitive with him last season, he cannot completely write off a player’s talent. Especially after losing Antony.
Show confidence in Facundo Pellistri
The Uruguayan returned from his loan spell in August 2022 and made a handful of appearances last season for a total of 214 minutes, most of them as a substitute.
He was expected to be loaned out again to seek further first team opportunities, but it was ultimately decided that he should stay to give Ten Hag another option up the line. labour. Indeed, the Dutchman will be hoping for another long season full of trophy chances after reaching the final of the FA Cup and Carabao Cup last season, while United also reached the quarter-finals of the Europa League.
Ten Hag praised Pellistri’s attitude to training last season and took him on a pre-season tour of the United States, while also bringing him off the bench late in games against Wolves and Tottenham. The 21-year-old was also called up to the squad against Arsenal, unlike Sancho. Pellistri is a quick and confident dribbler, but like Garnacho, he seems more effective as an impact substitute and is too inexperienced to replace Antony as a regular. Main rock penetration at this time. But Ten Hag’s decision to keep hold of him despite sending the talented Alvaro Fernandez on loan to Granada shows they have confidence in the player and Antony’s off-the-field issues mean he will get plenty of chances more this season, especially in cup competitions.
Play Mason Mount anywhere
Mason Mount is another option for Ten Hag while Antony remains absent. The former Chelsea midfielder missed games against Nottingham Forest and Arsenal through injury, but is expected to return later this month. And he has much to prove after enduring a dismal start to his United career following a £60 million ($74 million) transfer. His statistics against Wolves were particularly appalling, creating no chances, making no crosses, winning no tackles and winning no duels. Ten Hag fought hard for United to sign Mount this summer and praised his versatility. Maybe now is the time to take advantage of it.
Although Mount is more comfortable playing as a No. 8, he has plenty of experience playing wide and some of his best performances for Chelsea have come when playing to the right of Thomas Tuchel’s attack, albeit in a 3-4-2-1 formation.
Mount’s famous ability off the ball and pressing the ball means he won’t leave United as exposed as Garnacho or Pellistri and will minimize damage to Antony’s defence. The Brazilian’s absence comes at a bad time for United but it could give Mount the chance to prove his worth.
Change Marcus Rashford to the right wing
United’s star striker is another option for Ten Hag. Rashford has stated that he prefers to play as a wide striker rather than as a central striker and although he usually plays on the left, there is no good reason why he cannot move to the right.
Rashford is right-footed and his most memorable goal last season, his shot against Burnley, came from the right wing. The English striker also has a lot of experience playing on the right wing in attack.
Rashford’s quick pace and quick feet make him a more natural winger than Fernandes and Mount and he can easily switch wings with Garnacho or Sancho in matches to confuse opposing defenses. direction. Plays Scott McTominay in his Scottish role
Please listen to us. That’s right, McTominay may have only received limited opportunities from Ten Hag and was put up for sale in the summer. And his manager’s lack of trust in him prompted him to call in Sofyan Amrabat. However, it is possible that the Dutchman used a player in the wrong position.
While United managers Jose Mourinho, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Ten Hag only deployed him in midfield, Scotland manager Steve Clarke saw McTominay as a marauder, giving him the freedom to advance. and attack. The 26-year-old is a completely different player for Scotland and has scored six goals in his last five competitive matches, making him the top scorer in Euro 2024 qualifying alongside his new team-mates. Rasmus Hojlund.
Why not give him the chance to replicate his excellent international form for his club and try it on the right side of United’s attack?
GOAL’s perspective: Garnacho’s file in
The best long-term option Ten Hag has is to play Garnacho as Antony. Although the Argentine struggled in some matches on his debut, the only way for him to learn how to become a true winger and integrate into the defensive aspects of his role is to play regularly.
Garnacho, just 19 years old, has committed his future to the club by signing a lucrative new contract and remains loyal to United after leaving Atletico Madrid at the age of 16. He has amazing talent and has been loved by the audience. With just a little support, he can become a world-class player. This is his moment.
