Manchester United concluded their season with Erik ten Hag still in charge, despite finishing eighth in the Premier League, their lowest position in 34 years.
However, they managed to secure the FA Cup by defeating Manchester City 2-1 in the final at Wembley.
This victory provided some relief for ten Hag, who had faced increasing scrutiny prior to the game.
Nevertheless, there have been speculations about potential replacements for ten Hag in case the club decides to part ways with him, including Roberto De Zerbi and Mauricio Pochettino.
Additionally, Manchester United is looking to strengthen their defense during the summer transfer window, with targets such as Jean-Clair Todibo and Jarrad Branthwaite being considered.
Regarding Branthwaite, Everton has made it clear that Manchester United will not be able to secure his services at a discounted price.
The club values Branthwaite at around £80 million, twice the amount United anticipated.
Branthwaite, a promising young English left-footed center-back, is expected to represent England in Euro 2024.
He impressed last season with Everton, making 35 appearances and scoring four goals.
Wayne Rooney has raised concerns about the leadership within the Manchester United dressing room.
He emphasized the importance of having around five players who can lead the team and questioned the presence of strong leaders in the current squad.
While acknowledging Bruno Fernandes as the captain, Rooney expressed doubts about identifying other vocal leaders on the pitch.
He also highlighted Marcus Rashford’s quiet nature and urged senior players to demand more from him during challenging moments.
