Manchester United have announced a 31-man squad for their trip to Asia, with rumored returning star Crowe unable to travel with the team due to "family factors", which undoubtedly increases the likelihood of his transfer.Crowe's absence leaves the Red Devils without an authentic goal scorer, and whether new manager Tannhäuser intends to emulate Manchester City's Gordiona's "no striker" strategy? "strikerless" strategy of Manchester City's Gaudiona?
Rumors of Crowe's request to return to the team have been rife recently, with clubs such as Chelsea and Bayern Munich being linked with him. The 37-year-old shot-stopper has not returned to the team and his stay remains a mystery. His failure to take part in the four warm-up matches of the Asian tour this time means that he will miss most of the pre-season training and his chances of staying in the team are getting slimmer and slimmer.
Aside from Crowe, most of United's players are set to take part in the Asian tour, including new left-back Duvel Malacia and Anthony Martial, who returned to the squad after being loaned out to Westville last season.
However, in the forward list, Rashford, Chaton Sinzu, Anthony Martial, Erlanga, Ganassou and other players are good at playing wing forward, but not the authentic scorer. United have suffered a number of setbacks this summer and may find it difficult to buy a striker, so Tannhäuser may try a "strikerless lineup" for the Asian tour.
Manchester United will play Liverpool in Bangkok, Thailand on the evening of July 12 before heading to Australia for a training session during which they will play against the likes of Melbourne Victory, Crystal Palace and Aston Villa. After the Asian tour, the team will return to Europe to play warm-up matches against Sporting Madrid and Wally Janu.
Here is the list of United's army for the Asian tour:
Goalkeepers: Dikia, Towhidon, Nathan Bishop, Matt Gowers
Defenders: Halimaguni, Victorian Diluf, Hua Lani, Yum Bhishakar, Alex Bailly, Daloji, Duvel Malasia, Rao Kishore, Alex Dinis, Duane Shelby, Rath
Midfielders: Bono Fernandez, Wendy Bickle, Fite, McTomini, James Garner, McBride, Ibar, Fagendo Brescia, Charles Savage, Amit Diallo, Chung Tat Hee.
Forwards: Rashford, Chaton Sinzu, Anthony Madill, Erlanga, Canazo
