“Assessing the Strength of Manchester United’s Squad: A New Manager’s Challenge”

How robust is the Manchester United squad that a new manager will take over? Currently, only a few players at Old Trafford would likely make the cut for selection at Manchester City. Following Erik ten Hag's departure, the focus shifts to the players who remain—many of whom are earning substantial salaries while posting emotional farewells to their former manager on social media. This situation is unlikely to change, but to assess the accountability of the squad for Ten Hag's dismissal, one can pose a straightforward question: how many of the players left behind by the fifth manager since Sir Alex Ferguson would Pep Guardiola consider for his elite Manchester City lineup? As United finds itself languishing in 14th place in the Premier League and 21st in the Europa League, the need for a thorough evaluation of the squad's quality and potential is more pressing than ever.
