INEOS finally has to sell a huge Man Utd flop who earns more than Garnacho
Just eight days later Manchester UnitedThe derby win at the Etihad, a sudden realization hit Ruben Amorim.
He had no idea it would be an easy task, but surely he is now realizing the enormity of the challenge before him.
The Red Devils struggle for consistency and this problem was exposed in the run-up to Christmas.
The away win at rivals Manchester City was euphoric, but it was followed by a 4-3 defeat at Tottenham and then a 3-0 defeat at home to Bournemouth. not great
There are a lot of problems to solve, not least Marcus Rashfordthe future of Amorim, but he must also get a better tuning of the attack and, above all, fix the defense.
Only one team this season Premier League (Wolves) conceded more goals from set-pieces with United once again undone by a set-piece as Cherries centre-back Dean Huijsen allowed himself the freedom of Old Trafford to head home on Sunday.

So where does the new manager start? Well, he needs to get rid of some dead wood to allow the freedom to bring in players who really fit his tactical style.
Man United players who could leave in January
The biggest elephant in the room at the moment is Rashford. The Carrington Academy graduate set Amorim up for a scoring volley inside the first minute during his first game in charge at Ipswich.
Unfortunately, since then, the forward has failed to make a huge impression on the former Sporting manager. He has been left out of the last three calls of the day and an exit in January seems inevitable.
According to some reports, Barcelona is one of the main suitors for your signature at this time.

Who else could leave? Well, Casemiro has been frequently linked over the past six months and it could finally be time for him to pay attention. Jamie Carragher’s advice and leaves for Saudi Arabia.
“He should be thinking, ‘I’ve got to go to MLS or Saudi Arabia.’ greats of modern times playing in one of the best midfields we’ve seen dominate Europe.”
Another of Antony’s big earners has found it hard to come by under the new regime and is another striker who should make way as soon as he can.
a certain Alexandre Garnacho – who was left out of the call-up for the derby alongside Rashford – has also been the subject of interest from other places, such as Atlético de Madrid, Man City and Chelsea. as reported, monitoring the situation.
Compared to Casemiro (£350,000 p/w), he is one of the lowest paid players at the club meaning it shouldn’t be too hard to find a suitor for her.
A certain Tyrel Malacia earns significantly more than Garnacho, but he may find it much more difficult to find an interested person.
Why Man Utd must sell Tyrel Malacia
In the words of United reporter Alex Turk, Dutch defender has had a ‘difficult time’ since signing from Feyenoord during the Erik ten Hag era.
One of the Eredivisie’s failed moves, it’s safe to say he’s one of, if not the, worst buy of the old regime, such has been his level of performance and, above all, his availability.
After arriving in the summer of 2022, the 25-year-old has done just that played just 43 times in United colours.
Remarkably, the Dutch full-back didn’t kick a ball last season with injuries, forcing him to watch from the sidelines for an entire year.
Indeed, when Amorim selected the defender at full-back in the club’s 2-0 defeat to Arsenal a few weeks ago, it marked his first appearance since May 2023.
Since then, Malacia has played on four more occasions but has hardly set the world on fire. In fact, in three of his five starts this term, he has been withdrawn at half-time.
The Dutchman was upended by Bukayo Saka in that defeat at the Emirates and Bournemouth’s Antoine Semenyo gave him the same treatment on Sunday afternoon.
As such, Amorim was particularly harsh and was taken out of the action at half-time, left to rue the clumsy challenge that led to Bournemouth’s first free-kick.

During his time on the pitch, Malacia, who earns £75,000 a week, £25,000 a week more than the aforementioned Garnacho, failed to create a single dribble or provide an accurate cross, not numbers you’d associate with a full-back in the system of Amorim
So, it’s time to pack up and leave. With a week left in 2024, it would be a surprise to see him in United colors again.
INEOS and the new management team must be disbanded in January and bring in a suitable replacement.
