themanchestereveningnews--2020-09-22--Man City have changed their transfer strategy with centre back targets

Manchester City pay a lot of people a lot of money to make sure they can recruit the exact type of players they need in the transfer market .
Pep Guardiola once credited Txiki Begiristain and his department with 80 per cent of the club 's success given the sheer amount of work that goes into identifying the right faces .
Potential targets must have all the right technical attributes to make it at the Etihad but there is also effort made to ensure they have the right character to thrive in the dressing room and working for one of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the game .
Given City 's status in the game , and especially after their recent title wins , the pool of players backed to improve the team and squad can be understandably shallow .
City will always make shortlists for positions they want to strengthen , but it is rare that those options are equal .
Thus , when they failed to get Jorginho over the line in 2018 rather than turn to their alternatives - Mateo Kovacic and Mario Lemina were looked at while interest in players such as Miralem Pjanic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that there was n't anyone available for quite the right price that was worth going for .
A year later , Rodri was very much the first pick ahead of other midfielders scouted to belatedly fill that role while Harry Maguire was in the same position at centre-back .
City 's approach to buying a defender this summer felt like the same strategy .
Kalidou Koulibaly was picked out as the prime candidate to replace Vincent Kompany 's qualities twelve months down the line .
It should not be a surprise that other @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have been warned as much from the off - but interest in Sevilla 's Jules Kounde is still a significant departure from the usual plan because of how different he is to Koulibaly .
One is 29 , with years of experience in the top flight and European football , leadership skills and an ability to adapt to different styles of football .
The other is much more raw at 21 but if bought for a similar price would likely be much better value for money , an investment for the future more @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and now .
City 's opening-day win over Wolves , impressive as it was , does not change their need to buy a centre-back .

Brooks missed the majority of last season through injury but is still only 23 and highly rated by many at United.
Old Trafford legend Ryan Giggs manages the former Man City academy player at international level and believes Brooks has what it takes to shine at United.
"I've seen there's speculation about a lot of players," he said. "Brooksy's obviously a talented player and now Bournemouth are in the Championship. I've always said it's better if the lads are playing, and the higher the standard the better as well. But that isn't always a given.
"Some players have gone to Premier League teams and not actually played. We've got a lot of lads in the Championship. I don't think it would matter with Brooksy, even if it's in the Premier League or Championship, he'd still have that bit of class.
"There's a lot of speculation with a lot of Premier League clubs, United included. He's a player who gets you off your seat, he's someone who likes to take players on and make things happen."

themanchestereveningnews--2020-09-22--Ole Gunnar Solskjaer gets his squad message across in Manchester United win

If it is any consolation to the Manchester United supporters irritated by Matt Judge 's presence at Kenilworth Road there are usually direct flights from Luton to Dortmund .
United 's turbulent transfer window still has the best part of a fortnight to run and their first win of the new season at Championship newcomers Luton Town will barely ease the pressure valve .
Signings are not quite as significant as silverware to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and United are in the midst of a barren run they have not endured since the late 80s .
Solskjaer is well within his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the earliest available opening and even in a crammed campaign the League Cup is valued by United .
Juan Mata became the only United player to score in every season of the post-Sir Alex Ferguson era and there was a debut in goal for Dean Henderson , forced into a pivotal late save , as well as a full bow for Donny van de Beek .
For most United followers , not enough has changed and the reaction to Saturday 's humbling by Crystal Palace is decidedly dilatory .
For a squad enriched @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Beek , United still fielded nine internationals at Luton and had the luxury of Bruno Fernandes , Marcus Rashford and Mason Greenwood among those huddled in the away hut .
All three were introduced in a triple substitution and Fernandes played Rashford through to kill the contest before Greenwood crowned the victory .
Van de Beek started in the playmaker role as Solskjaer utilised the Dutchman 's versatility though United were often guilty of overlooking him .
There was a glimpse of Van de Beek 's craft when he dummied for Mata to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ own effort blocked in the 73rd minute .
A first Premier League start at Brighton seems inevitable .
This domestic cup tie was also an exercise in squad culling for Solskjaer .
As if any additional confirmation was needed , Chris Smalling , Marcos Rojo and Andreas Pereira might have appeared for the club for the last time .
Jesse Lingard was given a pass in spite of fluttering his eyelashes at Jose Mourinho , unmoved by his former player 's flirtation .
Lingard 's commitment on the pitch , at least , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was only missing a goal .
United officially confirmed unused substituteTeden Mengi 's first-team promotion ahead of kick-off and the 18-year-old with nine minutes of career football to his name is already fifth-choice centre half .
United hope Smalling and Rojo , training in their own 'outgoings ' bubble at Carrington , are no longer on the books in a fortnight and Phil Jones , injured or not , is an irrelevance .
Harry Maguire , a starter in 61 games for club and country in 2020-21 , could not get a breather @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Victor Lindelof at the weekend and this felt like a trial for a Maguire-Eric Bailly axis .
Bailly emerged with a clean sheet and time will tell if Solskjaer abandons his Scandinavian solidarity with Lindelof at Brighton .
Judge and Richard Arnold evaded Patrice Evra 's cross-hairs to take their seats among the handful of United dignitaries in a decrepit ground advertising Barry Bolton Windows .
If the United supporters were permitted entry , those who were last at Luton in 1992 would have been unable to discern any changes to one of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ League .
Arnold and the chief operating officer Alan Dawson were especially encouraging with their applause although no United representative was going to be louder than Henderson , heard amid over the stadium announcer .
Ed Woodward has ostensibly taken a step back from recruitment and was absent but the transfer negotiator Judge 's presence will doubtless rile supporters impatiently awaiting signings .
Henderson , on his United debut nine years and a month after entering the academy , barked positivity and was desperate to showcase his distribution .
He effortlessly pinged the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and was more vocal than anyone on the United touchline , lacking presence again .
Henderson 's late denial of Tom Lockyer was especially vital given the 1-0 scoreline .
Mata , Aaron Wan-Bissaka , Eric Bailly , Nemanja Matic and Fred were all late arrivals to pre-season training though the rustiness could not legislate for Wan-Bissaka 's attacking reticence .
Solskjaer had to order Wan-Bissaka to overlap Mata , also vexed by his right-sided collaborator 's shyness .
The right wing issue extends to the right-back .
Brandon Williams was initially problematic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ left-back is c -- p , '' a Luton official shouted .
Some fans are breaching the closed doors , after all , and Williams will have revelled in earning the late first-half penalty that procured the breakthrough for Mata to convert in the 44th minute .
Some of Solskjaer 's selections were costly at the weekend but this time his in-game management was effective , with Luton powerless against the irrepressible trident of Rashford , Fernandes and Greenwood that left Judge with little to dread .

Signings are not quite as significant as silverware to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and United are in the midst of a barren run they have not endured since the late 80s. Solskjaer is well within his rights to target a trophy presentation at the earliest available opening and even in a crammed campaign the League Cup is valued by United.
Juan Mata became the only United player to score in every season of the post-Sir Alex Ferguson era and there was a debut in goal for Dean Henderson, forced into a pivotal late save, as well as a full bow for Donny van de Beek. For most United followers, not enough has changed and the reaction to Saturday's humbling by Crystal Palace is decidedly dilatory.
For a squad enriched by the sole signing of Van de Beek, United still fielded nine internationals at Luton and had the luxury of Bruno Fernandes, Marcus Rashford and Mason Greenwood among those huddled in the away hut. All three were introduced in a triple substitution and Fernandes played Rashford through to kill the contest before Greenwood crowned the victory.
Van de Beek started in the playmaker role as Solskjaer utilised the Dutchman's versatility though United were often guilty of overlooking him. There was a glimpse of Van de Beek's craft when he dummied for Mata to test James Shea and he had his own effort blocked in the 73rd minute. A first Premier League start at Brighton seems inevitable.

This domestic cup tie was also an exercise in squad culling for Solskjaer. As if any additional confirmation was needed, Chris Smalling, Marcos Rojo and Andreas Pereira might have appeared for the club for the last time. Jesse Lingard was given a pass in spite of fluttering his eyelashes at Jose Mourinho, unmoved by his former player's flirtation. Lingard's commitment on the pitch, at least, was apparent in a tireless run-out that was only missing a goal.
United officially confirmed unused substituteTeden Mengi's first-team promotion ahead of kick-off and the 18-year-old with nine minutes of career football to his name is already fifth-choice centre half. United hope Smalling and Rojo, training in their own 'outgoings' bubble at Carrington, are no longer on the books in a fortnight and Phil Jones, injured or not, is an irrelevance.
Harry Maguire, a starter in 61 games for club and country in 2020-21, could not get a breather against Luton after another meek performance from Victor Lindelof at the weekend and this felt like a trial for a Maguire-Eric Bailly axis. Bailly emerged with a clean sheet and time will tell if Solskjaer abandons his Scandinavian solidarity with Lindelof at Brighton.
Judge and Richard Arnold evaded Patrice Evra's cross-hairs to take their seats among the handful of United dignitaries in a decrepit ground advertising Barry Bolton Windows. If the United supporters were permitted entry, those who were last at Luton in 1992 would have been unable to discern any changes to one of the more archaic homes in the Football League.
Arnold and the chief operating officer Alan Dawson were especially encouraging with their applause although no United representative was going to be louder than Henderson, heard amid over the stadium announcer. Ed Woodward has ostensibly taken a step back from recruitment and was absent but the transfer negotiator Judge's presence will doubtless rile supporters impatiently awaiting signings.
Henderson, on his United debut nine years and a month after entering the academy, barked positivity and was desperate to showcase his distribution. He effortlessly pinged the ball to Brandon Williams on the flank and was more vocal than anyone on the United touchline, lacking presence again. Henderson's late denial of Tom Lockyer was especially vital given the 1-0 scoreline.
Mata, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Eric Bailly, Nemanja Matic and Fred were all late arrivals to pre-season training though the rustiness could not legislate for Wan-Bissaka's attacking reticence. Solskjaer had to order Wan-Bissaka to overlap Mata, also vexed by his right-sided collaborator's shyness. The right wing issue extends to the right-back.
Brandon Williams was initially problematic on the other flank. "The left-back is c--p," a Luton official shouted. Some fans are breaching the closed doors, after all, and Williams will have revelled in earning the late first-half penalty that procured the breakthrough for Mata to convert in the 44th minute.
Some of Solskjaer's selections were costly at the weekend but this time his in-game management was effective, with Luton powerless against the irrepressible trident of Rashford, Fernandes and Greenwood that left Judge with little to dread.

Borussia Dortmund's Jadon Sancho remains United's top target but the Bundesliga side are adamant that he will not leave this summer. The reality is Dortmund would sell Sancho if United met their valuation but the Reds have no intention of paying €120million for the 20-year-old.
