Back Ten Hag! Dutch legend: Manchester United is stronger this season, will win the Premier League before Liverpool.

Recently, Dutch football legend Sneijder, in an interview with talkSPORT, discussed Slot and Ten Hag. He believes Manchester United is stronger than last season and they will win the Premier League before Liverpool.

"Who will win the Premier League first, Liverpool or Manchester United? Manchester United. Because Manchester United has time to build something, the manager will stay, allowing them to maintain continuity, and they have sufficient confidence in Ten Hag. Therefore, I think Manchester United this season will be stronger than last season."

Is Manchester United stronger than last season? At least in management, it is. After successively bringing in Berrada, Wilcox, Ashworth, and Vivell, Manchester United has established a professional and top-tier management structure. Compared to the Woodward era, this represents Manchester United's management bringing in several 'superstars,' which is impressive even among Europe's top five leagues.

A professional team will undoubtedly do professional things. Previously, the management with a budget over 100 million could only buy 1-2 players; now, the current management with a 50 million budget is likely to bring multiple significant reinforcements to Manchester United. For example, De Ligt: in the past, Bayern's management dared to demand 80 million or even higher, but now Manchester United's management有望 to secure him for less than 50 million.

It was even possible that after Everton rejected the first offer, Manchester United would continue to be led by the nose, engage in prolonged negotiations, waste most of the summer window, and最终成交 at a price above 70 million pounds. Now, Manchester United's management is明显 more flexible; if the first offer is rejected, they immediately switch targets, turning被动 into主动. When bargaining, they directly cut the price by half.面对 Zirkzee's 40 million euro release clause, Manchester United's new management灵活尝试 various methods to try to pay less this summer, allowing their limited budget to发挥更大的能量.

So, although Ten Hag still retains veto power over transfers, a professional management team is the foundation for efficient squad building. This is where Manchester United is stronger than last season. Additionally, Van Nistelrooy has joined Ten Hag's coaching staff, and Hake is also on the way. The加入 of these individuals will make Manchester United even stronger.

Besides recruitment, Manchester United is also steadily推进 in selling players. Van de Beek, who has been推销 for several seasons, is finally gone. The initial fee is 430k pounds, but it includes浮动条款 of 16.9 million pounds,其中 4.2 million pounds are easily achievable. Honestly, being able to offload Van de Beek is了不起; it's impossible to consider cost issues.

Next, players like Sancho, Greenwood, Wan-Bissaka, Maguire, Lindelöf, Casemiro are all likely to leave, and Manchester United will gain another batch of transfer funds. Therefore, Ten Hag next season will have a squad经过深度洗牌;只要保持健康, finishing in the top 4 is not difficult.

In Sneijder's view, Manchester United is more stable than Liverpool because teams changing coaches always experience a painful period, long or short. Liverpool under Klopp was the only team in the Premier League capable of抗衡 Manchester City, but a dynasty always坍塌随着开创者的离开. Slot's coaching style is considered very similar to Klopp, making him a good successor, but currently everything is only theoretical. Ten Hag was also thriving in the Eredivisie before joining Manchester United.

How will the new Manchester United perform? Can Liverpool in the post-Klopp era remain in the title-chasing group? These are看点 for the new Premier League season; we拭目以待.
