Manchester United have confirmed the appointment of Erik ten Hag, so thoughts have now turned to who the club must sign in the summer to improve the squad for the Dutchman. But who will United sign?
Manchester United set to change contract strategy under Erik ten Hag
28.04.2022 - 07:09 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Ralf Rangnick insists Erik ten Hag should have the final say on any Manchester United contract renewals.
United announced Bruno Fernandes had extended his contract by only a year on April 1 even though his previous deal had a final expiry date of 2026.
Fernandes, 27, was rewarded with a salary raise after two productive years following his signing from Sporting Lisbon in January 2020 but the Portuguese's performance level has plummeted this season and his form since the renewal has been particularly poor.
Anthony Elanga signed an improved contract during Rangnick's first month as interim manager while Anthony Martial and Phil Jones inked new deals while Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was still caretaker manager.
Chris Smalling and Luke Shaw signed new contracts in Jose Mourinho's final months even though Mourinho had scoured for a left-back to replace Shaw for 18 months. Smalling was loaned out to Roma at the start of the following season by Solskjaer.
Marcos Rojo only started 12 games for United after he committed to a three-year contract in March 2018 before he joined Boca Juniors in February 2021.
Last April, Solskjaer questioned Eric Bailly's pitiful appearance record the month before he received a three-year contract with the option of an additional year. Bailly was one of a handful of United players in their 20s to be offered a minimum three-year deal, which reflected his injury record.
Bailly has played seven times for United this season and made more appearances for Cote d'Ivoire. The 28-year-old is available for sale and open to leaving, having appeared 113 times in six seasons.
Club sources say Ed Woodward drove renewals of fringe players as he felt it increased their resale value, but United have struggled to shift dead
