Well, it’s a
crystal clear fact that Manchester united generally lags behind in the
defensive areas where they have failed to make an impact for a long amount of
time, But in recent times the ‘Red Devils have been finally able to find a
little stabilization in their back as Chris Smalling and Phil Jones the english
internationals were starting to put some consistency in their performance. Yet,
Ex-Legend Paul Parker have a different prospective and feels that Manchester
United will probably let go off these two defensive duos in order to balance
the financial books for the summer.
The 50 year
old ex-English international believes that both Jones and Smalling are ‘valuable
assets’ for Manchester united but still they are both dispensable for current
manager Louis Van Gaal. Both the English defenders have improved vastly in the
current season, with smalling being an ‘real asset’ to Manchester United’s
defense with consistent performance in big games and to some point of the season
Phil Jones have also shown assured performance at the heart of the defense.
Parker said, “United
could sell Smalling and Jones to be on the right side of the Financial Fair
Play Regulation”, “Both defenders are saleable assets-they are young England
internationals who should attract attention from many clubs”.
But if hypothetically
seen, the sales of the ‘two defenders’ will have nothing to do with the
Financial Fair Play regulations, as the English club have recently tied up a 75
million euro deal sponsorship relations with Adidas and various others regional
sponsors and TV revenue shares which will keep the club financially strong for
the foreseeable future.
Well, there
is no attestation about the fact whether these two ‘English duos’ will really
leave Manchester United in the future, but if Van Gaal is letting either of them go
from Old Trafford, then it will be for footballing reason and not for Financial
theories.
