Is it true that Man United often fails to keep good players?
2021-12-02 13:32 LONDON -- Manchester United (MU) has received negative sentiment lately due to inconsistent performance. Some parties blamed the strategy used, others criticized management's decisions in regulating the entry and exit of players in the main squad.
Former Liverpool captain, Graeme Souness, blamed MU officials for releasing several prospective players. One of them was the decision to sell Jonny Evanske to West Bromwich Albion in August 2015.
In fact, Evans has spent nine years with Manchester United at Old Trafford. He became one of the players who survived after Sir Alex Ferguson decided to retire as coach.
However, Evans did not get regular flying hours in the first team. In the era of Louis Van Gaal's coaching, Evans was finally invited to leave for West Bromwich. Looking good together in the new team, Evans started to get his rhythm again.
Leicester City also glanced at Evans' performance. In 2018, Leicester finally signed the defender from Northern Ireland for a fee of £3.5 million. With the Foxes, Evans slowly became one of the most reckoned defenders of today.
Evans became one of the important pillars of Leicester's defense. So far, he has appeared in 93 matches in all competitions. He also contributed to presenting one 2021 FA Cup title after Leicester beat Chelsea in the final.
Leicester coach Brendan Rodgers has full confidence in Evans. The 33-year-old defender has also had the opportunity to play 10 times as a starter in the 2021/2022 season.
"I melihatManchester Unitedtidak noticed detail in their work. I do not see any accountability. In fact, it is appropriate in a football club is the recruitment process. Employment (Alex) Ferguson is right even abused," said Souness as reported Sportskeeda Wednesday (1 /12).
In a meeting, Souness even said that Ferguson had admitted to being surprised by the choice of MU to release Evans to West Brom. He claimed Manchester United's decision was not in accordance with Ferguson's expectations.
"There was a coach conference in France. Sir Alex was there and said openly that he was surprised Louis Van Gaal let Jonny (Evans) go. In fact, he saw the potential of the player and believed Evans would spend his career at United," said Souness.
