Manchester United‘s 2023/24 season was a mix of highs and lows. Despite finishing eighth in the Premier League the team delivered memorable moments by notably winning the FA Cup.
This victory was their 13th in the competition and came through goals from young academy graduates showcasing the club’s promising future talent. However, the season also featured disappointing results including a lacklustre Champions League campaign and several frustrating draws.
Injuries plagued the team significantly impacting their performance. Key players like Lisandro Martinez and Casemiro missed substantial parts of the season. Martinez’s knee injury in February was a critical blow that weakened the defense.
Despite these setbacks, the team showed resilience particularly during a small unbeaten run in January when returning players briefly boosted performance.
Erik ten Hag faced a challenging season but managed to secure his position for the upcoming 2024/25 campaign. The club decided to retain him after a thorough review despite considering other candidates like Thomas Tuchel.
Ten Hag’s leadership in winning two trophies over two seasons convinced the management of his capability to lead the team forward.
With Erik ten Hag confirmed as the manager Manchester United are focusing on the summer transfer window to strengthen the squad. The club is eyeing defensive reinforcements with Crystal Palace’s Marc Guehi and Everton’s Jarrad Branthwaite among the top targets. However, the high valuation of these players might lead United to explore other options.
The search for a new striker is also a priority. Brentford’s Ivan Toney and Ukrainian forward Artem Dovbyk are being considered to boost the attacking lineup. Another name on the shortlist is Jonathan David known for his consistent goal-scoring ability which could address United’s need for a reliable striker.
