The Manchester Evening News has analyzed the factors directly affected after the tour of Manchester United.

WINNER

Kobbie Mainoo

It was a pity that Mainoo’s tour had to end early due to an injury against Real Madrid, but nonetheless he has proven himself in the previous matches.

It is simple to affirm that Mainoo is Manchester United’s most remarkable midfielder in preseason. He consistently makes a good impression whenever coach Erik Ten Hag gives him the chance to play, most notably with his superb performance in the win over Arsenal.

In the short term, Mainoo might be sidelined for around two months due to injury, but after his recovery, Ten Hag will undoubtedly offer him the chance to play for the first team. It should be noted that numerous sources have verified that the Dutch tactician blocked Mainoo’s loan departure this summer.

Jadon Sancho

Sancho is preparing to enter his third season under a Man United shirt, and this may well be his last chance to prove his worth with Ten Hag. For his part, in fact, the Dutch strategist is also trying to help Sancho save his career at Old Trafford.

In particular, Ten Hag recently installed Sancho in a new role as a central striker, and overall, the British star’s performances are also quite impressive – especially the goal in the net. Arsenal. In the context of Anthony Martial’s frequent injuries, it is highly likely that Sancho will be able to play regularly next season to share the burden with rookie Rasmus Hojlund.

Andre Onana

Arriving at Old Trafford quite late, Onana still managed to participate in the team’s tour of the US and spent the first two matches under the Red Devils shirt. Even in friendly matches, Onana has more or less proved her class, bringing a difference to the wooden frame for Man Utd with the ability to play and distribute the ball impressively.

In addition, through the act of ‘slamming’ Harry Maguire, Onana also showed his ability to command the defense. Certainly, the Cameroonian goalkeeper has “scored” with many Man Utd fans after the last two matches.

LOSER

Harry Maguire

Despite being given the opportunity to play in quite a few matches within the framework of the US Tour, it can be affirmed that Maguire did not bring any commendable performance. The only mark that the English midfielder left was the situation he was reprimanded by Onana, after an unreasonable pass caused Man Utd to suffer a dangerous counterattack from Borussia Dortmund.

If they sell Maguire this summer, Man Utd will certainly suffer a large loss compared to the £ 80 million they once paid for Leicester City. Perhaps, the value of the English midfielder has more or less decreased after the recent series of friendly matches.

Anthony Martial

Despite making a full recovery from his injury, Martial was unable to take part in any of Manchester United’s games while on their US tour. Rasmus Hojlund’s emergence means that Martial will undoubtedly see greater challenges at Old Trafford in the upcoming campaign.

Man Utd spent about £ 45 million on the French striker, including the additional allowances. And like Maguire, this is unquestionably a wholly unsuccessful investment.
