Manchester United’s resurgence under Michael Carrick has reignited their push for Champions League football, and the club is already planning for the summer.
Manchester United is in the middle of the season, where the Red Devils are fighting to secure qualification for the next edition of the most important competition for European clubs, the UEFA Champions League.
The club had a difficult start to the season under Portuguese coach Ruben Amorim, with the team's results and performances not at the level fans were expecting. For this reason, the directors of the Red Devils fired Amorim and decided to hire a former club legend, Michael Carrick, as interim manager until the end of the season.
Under Carrick, the team's performances and results have improved significantly, and the players are also enjoying playing under Michael Carrick. Since Michael's arrival, Manchester United has lost only 1 match. Currently, the Red Devils are third with 51 points, the same as Aston Villa, fourth.
The players are fighting on the pitch, while the club on the other side is preparing plans for the upcoming summer transfer market. The Red Devils invested heavily last summer, and the plan is to invest heavily this summer as well. The directors of the club are reviewing profiles of players both inside and outside the league.
The Red Devils are planning to create a team comprising young, talented players and more experienced ones. One area where the club intends to invest this summer is in defense, more specifically, the right back.
According to TEAMTalk, the Red Devils are looking at Borussia Dortmund in Germany, and they are interested in one of Dortmund's most important players, Julian Ryerson. The 28-year-old right-back is one of the most important players on the German team and has helped the team a lot over the years.
Ryerson has been part of Borussia Dortmund since 2023, and his contract with the German team expires in 2028. In total, Ryerson has played 134 matches for the German team, scoring 7 goals and recording 20 assists. This season, the right back has played 33 matches, with 14 assists. This is a record for assists given in Germany this season.
Julian is a player who can be adapted to play in different positions, such as for example a right midfielder and a left-back. This quality is highly valued by the Red Devils.
For the moment, the Red Devils have right-back players like Dalot and Mazraoui. Manchester United is ready to make an offer to Borussia Dortmund for the services of the right-back, and it seems the player is keen to leave the German team and start a new chapter in England.
