For Manchester United, it seems that they have gradually regained their form after remaining undefeated in the past two strong confrontations. Looking at the situation faced in various competitions, in the Premier League, they are 12 points away from the top four, and if they want to catch up later, they not only need to perform exceptionally well but also need several main competitors to falter. In cup competitions, Manchester United still has a chance to win the championship. In the eyes of the outside world, if they can eventually win the domestic cup championship in such a transitional season, it will also be a good result. At the same time, in the first transfer window after Amorim took over the team, Manchester United is brewing several important transfers.
The "Teng-style recruitment standards" have been completely rejected. In the past two and a half seasons, former Manchester United manager Ten Haag had a high say in recruitment, and the team completed several big-money transfer signings. However, judging from the actual results, these players were mostly unsuccessful, including some typical failure cases. Especially Anthony. This Brazilian winger almost put Manchester United in a situation of "losing everything." In this transfer window, several teams have inquired about Anthony's situation and are expected to send an official offer to the Red Devils, but they estimate Anthony at only 20 million euros. Besides Anthony, other players such as Zirkzee, Malacia, and Mount have basically been abandoned.
Currently, the "Teng-style recruitment standards" have been completely rejected. According to the "Evening News," Amorim has communicated with the team owner Ratcliffe, and starting from this transfer window, he will make a thorough adjustment to the lineup according to his tactical requirements. In Amorim's three-back system, the wingbacks on both sides are very important. When defending, they need to retreat significantly to a position almost parallel to the three central defenders to increase the defensive width; when attacking, they take on the main task of moving forward, and their offensive weight is even higher than that of the holding midfielder and central midfielder. Among the existing players in Manchester United, Mazravi on the right side performs moderately and barely meets Amorim's requirements, but Dalot on the left side is not efficient enough in both attack and defense.
Coach A personally selects to sign a top wingback. According to British media reports, Manchester United has set the goal of introducing a starting-level left wingback as a major target in the near future. It was previously reported that they were paying attention to Korkut and had preliminary contact with Bournemouth, but the other party priced the player at 50 million pounds. This made Manchester United "back down." In the view of the Manchester United management, for such a young player who is just starting out, such a price is obviously too high. Especially Korkut, who not only has no experience playing for a top club but also has not proven his ability to maintain a high level for multiple consecutive seasons, so there is a considerable risk in the transfer.
In this case, Manchester United tends to sign a "finished" player. According to the "Telegraph," Andre Cambiaso, who plays for Juventus, has become Manchester United's top target. Judging from his technical characteristics, Andre Cambiaso has excellent technical abilities, passing vision, and accuracy. More importantly, Andre Cambiaso's game-reading ability is excellent, which can perfectly meet Amorim's tactical requirements. It is reported that Coach A has personally selected the team to sign this top wingback, and the expected transfer fee will reach 50 million pounds.
The winger position is also a key position in Amorim's tactical system. To be precise, Amorim does not need a traditional winger but rather a "side attacking midfielder" with organizing and passing abilities. Among the existing players in Manchester United, Bruno Fernandes can handle the job, but Garnacho cannot meet the requirements. In the past period, Garnacho was even considered one of the worst-performing players in Manchester United, putting him in a dilemma of being swept out. According to transfer expert Pedulla, Napoli has offered a 45 million euro bid to Manchester United, hoping to sign Garnacho. The Manchester United management has approved the transfer of this "top deadwood" to Serie A, but they hope to receive about 60 million pounds in income. (Pictures come from the Internet.
