'Red Devils'Manchester United's concept this summer is 'Orange'
All of the players Manchester United wants to recruit in the summer transfer market are Dutch players. Center back Matthijs de Licht, who competes with Kim Min-jae in Bayern Munich, offensive midfielder Xavi Simmons (Paris Saint-Germain), who hit 'Porten' for Leipzig last season, and striker Joshua Zirkjay, who showed his ability in Bologna, all played on the Euro 2024 stage as members of the Dutch national team. The Netherlands lost to England in the semi-finals.
Manchester United is said to have loaded more than 150 million pounds (about 260 billion won) to recruit three players. De Ligt and Zirkjay were set at 42 million pounds (about 74 billion won) and 34 million pounds (about 60 billion won), respectively. The Sun predicted that Simmons' transfer fee, which receives the attention of big clubs, will reach 70 million pounds (about 124 billion won). Among them, from the 11th, news has been heard that Zirkjay is close to becoming a man-of-the-world trend. Manchester United midfielder Kobe Mainu was also seen talking with Zirkjay with a bright expression after the match against the Netherlands.

There is a reason why Manchester United lists Dutch players. First of all, the director is Erik ten Hag, who is Dutch. Ten Hag finished eighth in the league last season, his worst performance ever, but he won the FA Cup by beating Manchester City and got a chance to lead the team for another season. Coach Ten Haach is taking a strong drive, appointing René Haque, a fellow Dutchman, and Ruud van Nistelrooy as coaches. The two coaches will play the role of Ten Hag's right arm and left arm, respectively.
In the current squad, there is one defender, Tyrrell Malacia, from the Netherlands. Midfielder Donny van der Vick left for Girona, Spain. Next season, more Dutch players will join and fight for a team rebound. Having three players will have the effect of reinforcing attack, midfielder, and defense. Manchester United will play the opening game of the EPL in the 2024-2025 season at home against Fulham on August 17.
