Compared to the previous administration, Omar Berrada intends to let go of underperforming players far sooner.
Omar Berrada, the CEO of Manchester United, has stated that he wants underperforming players to leave the team as soon as possible rather than being around for an extended period of time.
Fabrizio Romano reports that Berrada feels that in order to bolster the team, new hires must either establish themselves within two years of coming or be traded. Man United has been charged with rewarding failure in recent years for giving unreliable players new contracts to maintain their value, regardless of what they provide on the pitch.
This arrangement has helped players like Anthony Martial, Phil Jones, Juan Mata, and Victor Lindelof, even though most analysts believed the team should have let them go much sooner.
According to reports, Berrada wants to put an end to the culture of complacency that has caused several players to overpay for large contracts.
As part of Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s attempts to revitalise Man United following over ten years of controlled decline under the Glazer family, his appointment was made public on Saturday.
Arriving from his prior prominent responsibilities at Barcelona, Berrada was most recently the Chief Football Operations Officer of the City Football Group.
Using this experience, he intends to bring Man United back to its previous glory, implementing a cohesive strategy across the entire team.
This may lead to the departure of a number of players from the United team in order to make room for new players and a fresh start.
Due to their repeated failure to perform up to expectations, players like Martial, Lindelof, Diogo Dalot, Donny van de Beek, Antony, and Jadon Sancho would be most vulnerable.
Since they are all paid well, there may be money available to reinvest in the team and resume competing for large trophies.
