“He was told that he must buy these set of players so that can build around the current three best Manchester United players for them to fit in to Erik ten Hag style of player when he was in Ajax. Only this players was able to play the way Erik ten Hag want’s”-Sir Jim Ratcliffe informed he must build Manchester United’s future around THREE players for Amazing style of play

In the quest to revitalize Manchester United’s fortunes, Sir Jim Ratcliffe has emphasized the need to strategically build around three key players. This strategic move, aimed at steering the club towards a style reminiscent of Erik ten Hag’s successful tenure at Ajax, is seen as pivotal for future success.
Ever since Sir Alex Ferguson’s departure, Manchester United has faced a prolonged period of turbulence, falling short of securing top honors in both the Premier League and Champions League. The arrival of Erik ten Hag in 2024, coupled with Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS taking control, has injected a renewed sense of optimism into Old Trafford.
Former Manchester United winger Lee Sharpe, spanning the years 1988 to 1996, has identified the trio of Rasmus Højlund, Kobbie Mainoo, and Alejandro Garnacho as the linchpins for United’s resurgence. Sharpe believes that by keeping these three players fit, supplementing them with experienced teammates, and adding stellar signings to complement their skills, Manchester United can shape a promising future.
Expressing his optimism, Sharpe stated, “If Rasmus Højlund, Kobbie Mainoo and Alejandro Garnacho stay fit and Man United look after them – keep a couple of experienced players and sign some superstars to go alongside them – I don’t see why the club in the future can’t be built around them.” He acknowledged their consistent standout performances, highlighting their ability to not only carry the team but also symbolically carry the entire club.
The significance of Erik ten Hag’s trust in young talents is evident in the trio’s contribution. Sharpe notes, “It shows that Erik ten Hag is comfortable with putting young players into the starting XI, which is what the club has always been about. The future certainly looks bright with those three at the club.” Alejandro Garnacho, making a considerable impact since last year, has seamlessly integrated into Ten Hag’s squad, starting in the club’s last 20 fixtures across all competitions.
Rasmus Højlund’s remarkable goal-scoring prowess, leading with 11 goals in all competitions, and Kobbie Mainoo’s stellar performances as a key midfielder further validate the potential these players hold for Manchester United’s resurgence. As the club navigates this transformative phase, the focus on nurturing and harnessing the talents of these three players underlines a strategic approach to rebuilding the iconic football institution.
