Manchester Evening News: Manchester United Not Looking at Free Agents, High-Wage Players Do Not Fit Current Squad-Building Approach

According to journalist Tyrone Marshall, Manchester United are not looking at free agents, and high-wage players do not fit their current squad-building approach.

Journalist Tyrone Marshall discussed why Manchester United are not considering the free-agent market: “From what I understand, Manchester United are not monitoring the free-agent market. Many free agents currently available have already passed the peak of their careers, with Sergio Ramos and Dani Carvajal clearly belonging to this category. There are also some players who were released by their previous clubs because their individual performances had declined, with David Alaba being an example.

Ultimately, there are reasons why these players have become free agents. In addition, they have all earned high salaries in the past. This does not fit the recruitment and squad-building approach being implemented by INEOS at Old Trafford.

Simply put, there are reasons why they became free agents, and combined with their previous high-wage histories, they do not align with the recruitment model established by INEOS for Manchester United.”
