Apart from Manchester United, it is not only in Korea that talks about the so-called 'Talman U' effect in which players find glory again.
England's The Sun said on the 5th (Korea time) "Considering how many managers Manchester United have been with since the departure of former Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson, the coaches have begun to resemble each other." You can't just blame players for the dark ages of 12 years. The most important thing is how many players surprised the world after leaving Manchester United."
The Sun added "In recent years we have seen players like Romelu Lukaku, Memphis Depay, Wilfried Zaha and Angel Di Maria leave Manchester United and succeed elsewhere. This continued this season as well,' he said, shedding light on the players who are currently active and are showing the effect of post-Manchester United.
First, the name of David de Gea was mentioned. De Gea was forced to leave the team in the summer of 2023 after failing to renew his contract with Manchester United. After leaving Manchester United, De Gea returned to Fiorentina after a full season and is now the best goalkeeper in Italy's Serie A. The Sun says "De Gea quickly became Fiorentina's main goalkeeper, and until December he was statistically Europe's best save record holder this season", he explained.
There is also Chris Smalling, who rose to prominence on the Italian stage after leaving United before De Gea. Smalling, who had good defense but showed limitations in soccer intelligence and pass ability, performed very well in AS Roma. The Sun says "Smolling's stock seemed to be falling when he headed to AS Roma on loan in 2019. However, he developed further under Jose Mourinho and helped AS Roma win the Europa Conference League and advance to the Europa League final"It was considered to have enjoyed the post-Manchester United effect.

Scott McTominay, who played as a quarterfinalist for Manchester United until last season, is also seeing the effect of de-Manchester United in the Italian league. McTominay, who was sent out by Erik ten Hach, met Antonio Conte in Naples and is leading his team to a league championship. McTominay is expected to achieve a career high at Napoli and could win the league as soon as he leaves Manchester United. It's a perfect de-Manchester United effect.
Antony Elanga, who is currently active in Nottingham Forest and is raising his stock price, is also the mastermind of the post-Manchester United effect. After signing Jadon Sancho and Antony for huge amounts of money, Elanga left United due to a lack of playing time. Elanga, who has steadily developed in Nottingham, has become a major player who led Nottingham to third place in the league under Nunu Estiritu Santo.
In addition, Cristiano Ronaldo (Al-Nasr), Alvaro Fernandez (Benfica), and Angel Gomez (LOSC Lille) were not recognized by Manchester United but left the team again to reveal their true value. Antony, who was considered the worst recruit in Manchester United's history, is also performing well as soon as he leaves for Real Betis on loan. What will happen to Marcus Rashford, who left for Aston Villa.
