If you're someone who frequently follows sports news, you must have come across the term "rebuilding" in reference to teams. The meaning of "rebuilding" can vary depending on the team's circumstances. For a team like Arsenal that hasn't reached the Champions League in many years, simply making it into the Champions League in the previous season could be considered a successful rebuild, and they can now aim for the championship. However, for Manchester United, their goal is to rebuild a title-contending squad.
In the first season under Coach Ten Hag, overall, it was satisfactory. After all, he helped Manchester United secure a championship trophy after many years. But objectively speaking, Manchester United's squad is not as strong as Manchester City and Arsenal's at the moment. So, when I saw Manchester United hesitating to make new signings, I was quite anxious. Later, they brought in Mount. Even though I wasn't optimistic about Mount and didn't like seeing him wear the legendary number 7 shirt for Manchester United, since he's here, we should support him. Having someone is better than having no one.
I might have gone a bit off-topic there, so let's bring it back. Actually, the departure of De Gea is something that many Manchester United fans, including myself, feel regretful and sentimental about. Some irrational fans might even attack the club, saying that he deserved a better farewell, but I believe letting go is an essential part of rebuilding. Sometimes, in the process of rebuilding, you have to make tough decisions and part ways with even the most distinguished players. De Gea's distribution skills may not fit well with modern football systems, and so, to take Manchester United further, it was necessary to make the tough call to change the goalkeeper, even though it's heart-wrenching.
Rebuilding a team is never a straightforward task because it involves facing various challenges along the way. If not handled properly, it can turn into a chaotic situation. |
