The recent contract extensions at Manchester United make sense, but the summer will be a crucial time for the team to make changes.
Manchester United has executed all of its contract extensions flawlessly, which is surprising coming from a team that has essentially authored the manual on “How not to” recruit.
While it was mutually agreed that Nemanja Matic’s deal would remain dormant, deals including Antonio Valencia, James Wilson, Cameron Borthwick-Jackson, Joel Pereira, Sergio Romero, Axel Tuanzebe, and Phil Jones all ignored the one-year options.
With his one-year option, David de Gea created a new standard. United refused to lower a player’s compensation. Though they approached it incorrectly, United made the correct choice in signing De Gea. The athlete announced his resignation ahead of the club, and they were quite concerned about the impression that they had let go of a club legend. Nevertheless, United had freed him.
