Like former Gunners medical specialist Gary O’Driscoll, who moved to Old Trafford earlier, Manchester United is about to add Arsenal physio Jordan Reece to their squad. With United making an offer to sign Reece in order to strengthen their medical staff, talks on his departure date from Arsenal are almost finished. This action is part of a thorough evaluation of the team, which is being conducted by Sir Jim Ratcliffe and the Ineos investment group. The club’s injury problems from the previous season are being addressed in particular.
Leading this assessment, Gary O’Driscoll, knows Reece from their days at Arsenal. United believes Reece’s possible nomination will be a big help under the incoming administration.

Reece is well-known for his skillful player management, having helped people like Gabriel Jesus with persistent problems. Having already battled to keep O’Driscoll before he left for Old Trafford, Arsenal is reluctant to leave with Reece, but United is not giving up.
United’s current injury problems have shown how urgently things need to change, which has prompted Ratcliffe and Sir Dave Brailsford, the club’s new financial stakeholders, to act. Key staff members leaving the medical team indicates a proactive attitude to resolving underlying problems and putting solutions into place.
Although his club won the FA Cup, manager Erik ten Hag has blamed the long injury list for their dismal season. The frequency of fitness-related issues has brought to light structural issues resulting from player effort and overcrowding of fixtures. United is responding by assessing training methods, recovery plans, and possible underlying causes while giving medical support excellence top priority.
United’s problems last season were mostly caused by the instability in defense, as shown by the regular changes in central pairings. The club’s improvement strategy heavily relies on addressing these recurrent problems.

Youssouf Fofana of AS Monaco is the target of Arsenal’s attention, according to L’Equipe. They’re not, however, pursuing this alone. Additionally putting their names in the ring and contacting Fofana’s representation are Paris Saint-Germain, AC Milan, and Atletico Madrid.
Expecting a number of departures, the Gunners want to restructure their midfield. Albert Sambi Lokonga is probably going to join Mohamed Elneny. He has already declared his intention to leave as a free agent. Since Thomas Partey’s contract ends in the summer, he may also say goodbye then. Arsenal could want to trade him rather than keep him given his injury problems throughout the last four seasons.
With only a year remaining on his Monaco contract, Fofana is becoming a sought-after player, particularly in light of his European Championship success. For some time now, Premier League teams have had their eye on him. He elected to remain with Monaco despite interest from Fulham and Nottingham Forest last summer. His contract expiring now makes a trade appear more possible.
Priced at £26 million, Fofana adds talent to the midfield, especially with his defensive efforts. Clubs all around Europe have taken notice of his work rate, ball recoveries, and tackling skills. His propensity to misplace the ball, meanwhile, is still a worry, if controllable.
