Taking the Reins at Manchester United: A Football Manager 2024 Journey
"I say don't run so much. Football is a game you play with your brain. You have to be in the right place at the right moment, not too early, not too late." Johann Cruyff
Introduction: Football Manager 2024 has become an extremely popular game that allows players to become the manager of their favourite football club and lead them to success. For numerous fans, the opportunity to manage Manchester United is a dream come true. In this blog post, I will share my experience as the manager of this legendary club in FM24.
Getting Started: As the manager of Manchester United, I was faced with the daunting task of restoring the club to its former glory. With a rich history and passionate fanbase, expectations were high, and the pressure was on from the start. My first order of business was to assess the squad, identify areas for improvement, and develop a strategy to bring success back to Old Trafford.
Tactical Approach: Crafting a tactical system that plays to your team's strengths and exploits the weaknesses of your opponents is a crucial aspect of being a Football Manager. In my case, I decided to go for an attacking style of play which involved focusing on possession-based football with quick, incisive passing and fluid movement off the ball. With highly skilled players such as Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho, and Bruno Fernandes on my team, I was confident that we had the needed firepower to outscore any opposition.
Transfers and Squad Building: The transfer market is where managers can make a significant impact. With a substantial transfer budget at my disposal, I was determined to strengthen the squad by making a strategic signing. My top priority was to sign a world-class central defender ( Ronald Araujo - 120 million) to reinforce our defence and bring leadership qualities to anchor the backline. In addition to that, we already had a dynamic playmaker in Bruno Fernandes who could dictate the tempo of the game and create scoring opportunities for our forwards. Therefore, I decided not to make any further transfers.

Each season brought new challenges, from fierce competition to emerging talents, but through determination and shrewd decision-making, I led United to triumph, solidifying our place in football history.
