On Sunday, Manchester United scored another victory, the tenth under the leadership of Eric ten Haga, and it guaranteed that the Red Devils would go to Wembley again.
Just last month, the Red Devils won the English League Cup, and now, after beating Fulham 3-1, they are all ready to face Brighton in the FA Cup semi-final at the iconic stadium.
The quarter-final was a difficult game for the Old Trafford team: the Cottagers looked better and deservedly took the lead in the second half.
United need to improve the quality of the midfield
A moment of madness and a rush of blood led to the fact that two Fulham players and the manager received red cards, which changed the game of the Reds.
The game was hampered by Casemiro missing his second red of the season against Southampton in the league last week.
Without the Brazilian, United lacked defensive acumen and the ability to break lines, and Scott McTominay didn’t even come close to reproducing his form at the start of the season.
Eric ten Haag knows how hard it gets for his team when a Brazilian national team player is not playing, and he needs to find a plan B ahead of next season, when McTominay’s future is up in the air.
Actors such as Frankie de Jong, Alexis McAllister, Declan Rice and Romeo Lavia have all been linked with a move to the Theater of Dreams next season.
The last star to join this list was Marko Gruic from Porto. Premier League fans remember him from an unsuccessful game with the main rival Liverpool.
But the Serb has reinvented himself after his move to Porto for 10.5 million pounds and is now a regular player of the Portuguese giants.
This season, the 26-year-old has played 30 times for Porto, 21 times in the starting lineup, scored a goal once and once again gave an assist. He also represented his country at the Qatar World Cup.
According to the Telegraph, both Milan and United are fans of the football player, since both have established contact with the player’s entourage through intermediaries.
Grujic became an unexpected candidate
Manchester United and Milan are seriously interested in Grujic.
“Contacts through intermediaries have already been established, so in the summer the Serbian national team player can change his environment and move to England or Italy,” the message says.
Porto are expected to make a significant profit from the deal if it goes through, but Grujic’s past association with Anfield could negate the chances of a potential deal.
“He has often pointed out that he has been a big Liverpool fan since childhood, and there is no doubt that by moving to Manchester United, he will disappoint the fans of his former club who loved him, despite the fact that he did not leave. a significant footprint at Anfield.
While the Serbian footballer has improved significantly compared to Liverpool and is versatile enough to play throughout the midfield, it remains questionable whether he is better than the options that Ten Haga already has.
