From the current situation of Manchester United, if they want to revive and regain their former glory, apart from continuing to strengthen in the transfer market and buying players suitable for Amorim's needs, there is no other better way to save the team.

Since the club has chosen Amorim, it is necessary to give him time and rebuild the team according to his coaching philosophy.


Objectively speaking, there are not many players in Manchester United's current squad who fit his tactical style.


This cannot be blamed on the players.


The path of reconstruction will inevitably be accompanied by a period of pain.


This is a problem of the club's own decision-making, and only the senior management can bear this responsibility and bear this cost.


Casemiro leaves Manchester United for 15 million pounds, or reunites with Cristiano Ronaldo.


Recently, according to Brazil's "UOL" media, Manchester United midfielder Casemiro has decided to bid farewell to Old Trafford and intends to transfer to the Saudi Arabian professional league in January.


It is reported that in order to reduce salary pressure, the Red Devils are willing to sell the player at a low price, with a price tag of only 15 million pounds, to save a weekly salary expenditure of up to 350,000 pounds.


Through the dual benefits of transfer fees and wage cuts, the club is expected to gain more than 33 million pounds in financial space.


Since Casemiro transferred from Real Madrid to Manchester United in 2022, he has played more than 100 times for the team and also helped the team win the League Cup and FA Cup.


However, when Manchester United spent 60 million pounds to introduce Fat Tiger from Real Madrid at the beginning, this transaction was regarded as a failed investment by the current senior management of the club, especially the new owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe criticized this introduction.


As he lost his starting position in the team, more and more voices believed that Casemiro was about to leave Manchester United.


Currently, Casemiro's contract will continue until 2026, and Manchester United will definitely not renew it, or let him go for free when his contract expires.


Transferring to the Saudi professional league in January now seems to be a more realistic option.


According to Brazilian media reports, Casemiro himself has agreed to leave Manchester United and supports the plan to accelerate the transfer process during this winter window.


It is reported that the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia is actively promoting the completion of Casemiro's signing in January.


At present, this transfer seems to have no major obstacles.


The Saudi Professional League must first confirm the number of overseas players in the first teams of Al-Nassr, Al-Hilal, Jeddah United, Jeddah Citizen, Dammam Cooperation and Al-Khadisiyah, and then decide on the direction of Fat Tiger.


It is said that Casemiro is particularly popular in Al-Nassr, mainly because of his special relationship with Cristiano Ronaldo, and the two have served as teammates for a long time at Real Madrid and Manchester United.


Although Fat Tiger performed outstandingly in his first season at Manchester United, he later declined in form due to the superposition of various factors, coupled with the problems of high salary and high transfer fee, which were constantly questioned and criticized by the club and fans.


Even Manchester United legend Neville criticized this signing, calling it one of the worst signings in Manchester United's history.


I hope I can misjudge Casemiro's future and hope he can make great contributions to the club.


But reality is cruel, these wrong transfer decisions are the reason why Manchester United now has to return to the transfer market.


At the same time, there is an opinion that if time can be reversed, Manchester United should refuse to introduce Casemiro and some other players at such prices and salaries.


This is not only for the financial health of the club, but also for the long-term development of the team.


Therefore, if Casemiro leaves, Manchester United may suffer some losses, but in the long run, this may be one of the correct decisions for Manchester United's rebuilding.


50 million pounds, Paris Saint-Germain left-back wants to join his mentor Amorim.


On January 1st, according to the "Daily Mail", Paris Saint-Germain left-back Nuno Mendes is still the top target for the Red Devils.


He has worked with Amorim before, and this Portuguese left-back's contract with Paris expires in 2026. If he is unwilling to renew the contract, Paris may be willing to sell.


On January 1st, well-known reporter Fabrizio Romano also claimed that Manchester United is seeking to introduce Paris Saint-Germain defender Nuno Mendes to strengthen the team's left wing-back position.


The 22-year-old Portuguese international has been an important member of the team's defense since joining Paris from Sporting Portugal in 2022.


His current value is about 46 million pounds.


Manchester United believes that Mendes' addition will enhance the team's strength.


In addition, Mendes and Amorim belong to the same brokerage company, and Manchester United understands his situation.


If Davies renews his contract with Bayern Munich, Mendes and Theo will be Manchester United's priority targets for recruitment.


This season, Mendes played 15 games for Paris, scoring 2 goals and providing 2 assists, playing 1167 minutes.


Sky Sports reporter Peter Hall said that Nuno Mendes wants to reunite with Amorim at Manchester United.


Judging from his personal ability, technical characteristics, or the adaptability with Manchester United, Mendes is the best choice for Manchester United's left wing-back position.


However, good things are not cheap, and price is a big obstacle.


If Manchester United wants to take away this "high-end product" from Paris Saint-Germain, the difficulty factor is really not small.


First of all, if Manchester United fails to sell players in the winter window, there will be almost no operating funds.


Secondly, whether Mendes is willing to wait until the summer transfer window to join Manchester United is a question.


It depends on the negotiation skills of the Manchester United uniform group.


Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the player's agent uses Manchester United as a bargaining chip for renewal.


To put it bluntly, if Mendes can come, Manchester United's left flank will have a qualitative improvement.


Two teams want to sign Zirkzee, Anthony's loan is trapped by high salary.


Since Zirkzee joined the Red Devils, his performance has not been satisfactory.


His inability to shoot, positioning problems, and lack of running initiative have been criticized by fans.


However, Juventus and Napoli are still interested in him, believing that he can play a tactical role in the slower-paced Serie A.


And they are interested in introducing him in the form of rent-to-buy.


However, Manchester United is hesitant about Zirkzee's stay or departure.


According to the "Daily Mail", Manchester United has not decided whether to clean up this center forward.


Zirkzee's abilities are indeed not enough to meet the standards for Manchester United to return to the peak, but his personal choices also played a certain role.


He once approached joining AC Milan, but was eventually attracted by Manchester United's high offer.


Although his playing style appears somewhat lazy, he is not completely uncommitted.


The root of the problem may lie in the decision-making of the club management, not just the players.


At the same time, another Manchester United player, Anthony, is also facing difficulties.


This season, he failed to start in the Premier League, and neither Ten Hag nor Amorim were willing to give him a chance.


Italian transfer expert Fabrizio Romano pointed out that only a few Manchester United players are considered unsellable, and most other players may be traded in the transfer market.


It is worth noting that Anthony's future is also closely related to Manchester United's decision.


His agent, Junior Pedroso, confirmed that Anthony himself is willing to be loaned out.


Many clubs have contacted Manchester United and expressed interest in him.


But Raja and his team find it difficult to send him away.


It is reported that La Liga's Real Betis wants to loan Anthony, but at this stage they cannot afford the deal themselves.


If Manchester United wants to successfully loan out Anthony in January, they can refer to last season when Sancho joined Dortmund and Mason Greenwood joined Getafe, when Manchester United paid most of the wages, which may be the only potential solution for Anthony to leave the team.


Manchester United has had to look for ways to save themselves in the transfer market over the past decade.


Unless Amorim's 3-4-3 formation can be adequately supplemented with personnel, otherwise hiring him would not make much sense.


Zirkzee is just one of many players who are unable to perform their duties.


Now, Raja and Ineos are still hesitating, which may cause greater losses to the club.


For the future of the club and the expectations of the fans, they should make more decisive decisions and inject new vitality and hope into the team.
