“Glazers are turning their club into a joke”- Jamie Carragher slams Manchester United over their transfer strategy
Follow Us
Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher called Manchester United’s approach during the transfer window “embarrassing.” After consecutive losses to Brighton and Brentford, United is currently last in the Premier League standings. Unrest among the supporters, who are calling for the Glazers’ ownership to be terminated, has been well-documented.
In the transfer market, where United has struggled to sign its top targets and where a search for a new midfielder has drawn significant criticism, frustration has also grown. Due to Adrien Rabiot’s wage demands, Erik ten Hag’s team withdrew from a deal with Juventus for the Frenchman, and they have been pursuing Barcelona’s Frenkie de Jong all summer without success.
Casemiro’s potential transfer to United from Real Madrid is already publicly rumoured, and Carragher has emphasized how the differences between the three players expose the club’s underlying recruitment problems.
“Just look at the Adrien Rabiot deal, which collapsed this week due to the player’s wage demands,” Carragher wrote in the Telegraph. “If you are a club like United, you should not be pulling out of transfers – after agreeing a fee with the selling team – due to wage demands. Someone at the club should already know what sort of salary the player wants, long before it reaches this point.”
“They have also spent weeks chasing Barcelona’s Frenkie de Jong, and now they are running around trying to sign Casemiro from Real Madrid. From De Jong, to Rabiot, to Casemiro. They are all different players with different styles and ages. What is the plan here? Where is the strategy? It is embarrassing.”
Jamie Carragher compares Manchester United’s transfer strategy to that of other Premier League clubs
In comparing United’s transfer strategy to that of Liverpool and the other Premier League teams, Jamie Carragher concluded that persistence and time are the keys to success. “You have to be patient and do things properly. Liverpool trust in the plans they have put in place, and that is what most top clubs are doing,” he explained.
“Glazers are turning their club into a joke. When you look at United, it reminds you of a team in the bottom three of the Premier League, frantically trying to make a few late signings in the January transfer window. Top clubs should never be panicking like this.”
“To be clear, I have very few complimentary things to say about United’s current squad of players, as I don’t think many of them have the required character or personality to play for the club. But it is evident that their struggles are part of a wider problem, stretching back years.”
