Manchester United abandoned their players and defected to La Liga and Serie A to welcome the second spring! Move the dead and move the living. After leaving the Premier League, everything is going wel

After experiencing a season that can be called a "nightmare", the veteran Premier League giant Manchester United is determined to completely rebuild. This summer, Manchester United, which has purged a large number of high-paid players and overhauled its lineup, is looking forward to ushering in a new life. Last weekend, the team finally saw a glimmer of hope - in the much-anticipated double red meeting, Manchester United reversed its arch-rival Liverpool 2-1, ending a nine-year winless record. This is also Amorim's first two-game winning streak in the Premier League since taking over as Manchester United coach in November 2024. An interesting phenomenon is that many Manchester United players who left the Premier League for other leagues this summer are now doing well. Does this also confirm from another aspect that the Premier League is indeed the most difficult league in the world to gain a foothold in?

Anthony (25 years old, forward, currently playing for Real Betis in La Liga)

This Brazilian winger who was once ridiculed by Manchester United fans for "compass style" pulling the ball on the spot has now regained a new lease of life in La Liga.

In La Liga last weekend, Anthony scored two goals to help Real Betis draw with Villarreal away from home. In fact, since joining Betis on loan in the middle of last season, the Brazilian has already conquered the fans with his fiery form. He scored 9 goals and 5 assists in 26 games for Betis, and helped the team reach the UEFA Europa League finals.

The 25-year-old Anthony officially returned to Betis this summer with a transfer fee of 25 million euros. He has played 6 times for the team so far and scored an important equalizer in the Europa League against Nottingham Forest. After returning to Betis, Anthony received a warm welcome from the fans. He admitted that he was a little overwhelmed: "This is the first time I have experienced such treatment. As long as I put on this jersey, I will try my best for every Betis fan."

Rashford Germany (27 years old, forward, currently playing for Barcelona in La Liga)

"Moving to Barcelona has given me a new look." The 27-year-old Rashford is quite satisfied with his recent state, and the data also confirms that the England international is rediscovering his peak self. In 11 games played for Barcelona this season, Rashford scored 3 goals and contributed 5 assists. He scored twice in the Champions League away game against Newcastle to help the team win, and then assisted Ferran Torres to score in the 1-2 loss to Paris Saint-Germain.

Barcelona has a £26 million buyout option at the end of the loan contract, and Rashford hopes to stay at Barcelona "as long as possible", which is also a factor that motivates players to maintain their performance levels.

Hoylen (22 years old, forward, currently playing for Napoli in Serie A)

As Hoylen himself said in a social media post: "Hoylen scored twice in the Champions League, and both goals came from Kevin De Bruyne's assists - this was not what I expected in 2025."

On his debut with Naples in Serie A, the 22-year-old Danish forward broke through the gate guarded by his former teammate De Gea and helped the team defeat Fiorentina 3-1; in the Champions League match against Sporting CP, Hoylen completed a double kick with his head and kick. He has scored 4 goals in 6 games for Naples in the new season. On the national team match day in October, Hoylen continued his hot form at the club and scored 3 goals for Denmark in two World Cup preliminaries. Such an efficient performance is completely different from his slump at Old Trafford.

Hoylen joined on loan this season. Once Naples qualifies for the Champions League next season, the player's buyout clause will automatically take effect. According to media reports, the buyout fee is approximately 50 million euros.

Ganacho (21 years old, forward, currently playing for Chelsea in the Premier League)

This summer, the 21-year-old Argentine international Ganacho signed a long-term contract with Chelsea until 2032.

As early as last season, the conflict between Ganaccio and Amorim was irreconcilable. The reason why he chose to join Chelsea was not only determined to stay in the Premier League, but also influenced by the powerful Argentine group at Stamford Bridge. Blues assistant coach Willy Caballero, midfielder Enzo Fernandez, and Facundo Buonanot, who joined in the summer window, are all helping him adapt.

Ganacho made his debut in the Blues' away game against Brentford. After coming on as a substitute, he crossed the ball to instigate Chelsea's go-ahead goal, but then missed Fabio Carvalho, whom he was marking, in the set-piece defense, resulting in Brentford's equalizer. So far, he has played 6 games on behalf of Chelsea and has yet to contribute a goal or assist.

Sancho (25 years old, forward, currently playing for Aston Villa in the Premier League)

On the last day of this summer's transfer window, Sancho finally decided to join Aston Villa on loan. Compared with other players who left Manchester United to "renew their lives", Sancho's situation does not seem to have improved.

Data shows that since joining Aston Villa, he has only made one substitute appearance in the Premier League. In the 1-1 draw with Sunderland, Sancho came off the bench for 8 minutes and had 14 passes, 1 shot and 2 touches in the Sunderland penalty area. Due to physical reasons, Sancho has not appeared in the past three rounds.

The 25-year-old Sancho is in the last year of his Manchester United contract. Three years ago, Manchester United spent a huge sum of 73 million pounds to introduce Sancho from Dortmund. This deal is now regarded as one of the most failed signings in the history of the Premier League. If Manchester United activates Sancho's contract extension clause, it can theoretically earn some transfer fees, but it may also result in no club paying for it.
