Manchester United had just started to show some improvement, but they suffered another defeat in the 22nd round of the Premier League. In their home match against Brighton, Manchester United conceded a goal within the first five minutes and ultimately lost the game. Brighton players Kaoru Mitoma and Mac Allister scored and assisted each other, while Luton scored, leaving Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes unable to save the team with his penalty kick. The final score was 1-3, exposing Ten Hag's favored player: passive defense and an own assist, earning him the lowest rating of 5.5 points on the field. Currently, in the Premier League standings, Manchester United has accumulated 26 points after 22 rounds, placing them at 13th position. Liverpool, at the top of the table, has 50 points after 21 rounds, far ahead of Manchester United. Manchester City, ranked 4th, has 38 points after 22 rounds, and Aston Villa, ranked 8th, leads Manchester United by 10 points. Given Manchester United's current form, their chances of securing a spot in European competition are slim. Fortunately, they maintain a comfortable 10-point lead over the relegation zone, ensuring a relatively smooth path to avoid relegation. Based on Manchester United's performance, it is clear that they are currently a mid-to-lower-tier team in the Premier League. Even the club's manager, Amorim, openly stated, "We may be the worst-performing Manchester United in history." This version of Manchester United has limited fighting power, which disappoints Amorim. The team's poor state is closely related to Ten Hag's questionable recruitment and team-building strategies. Ten Hag consistently brings…

After 30 minutes of the first half, although Manchester United had more shots (6-5), they had no shots on target (0-4), and Southampton even had the upper hand over Manchester United.

According to reports from British media such as Dailystar and goal, due to Manchester United's recent poor performance, with the opening of the January winter transfer window in the Premier League, Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has urgently called on the club's management to sign his top target Victor Yokeles, who he cannot wait until the summer to acquire; he needs this 2024 World Player of the Year in January. At the same time, in terms of goalkeepers, he hopes to introduce a new goalkeeper to compete with current goalkeeper Andre Onana. Currently, Manchester United's performance in the Premier League is disappointing, having dropped to 14th place. In the last three matches, Manchester United failed to score a single goal but conceded seven, showing no attacking power, which is closely related to the insufficient strength of the team's front-line players. Amorim believes that to enhance the team's attacking power, urgent action must be taken in this month's winter transfer window to sign Swedish striker Yokeles, who scored 62 goals in 2024 and ranked first on the world's top scorers list. Although Amorin previously stated that he would not bring in reinforcements from his former club during the winter window, as his situation at Manchester United worsens, he urgently needs his beloved central striker Yokeles to come to his aid. Amorim has made it clear to the club's management that he needs Yokeles now, not in the summer transfer window. It is expected that in the coming weeks, Marcus Rashford and Joshua Zirkzee may leave Old Trafford. Zirkzee, due to his…

Manchester United spent 50 million euros to bring in Andre Onana, only to find that they had acquired another De Gea! The Cameroonian international goalkeeper, once considered a "revolutionary goalkeeper," was supposed to improve the team's passing and control but ended up relying on miraculous saves to attract attention. His number of low-level mistakes is not inferior to De Gea's during his declining state at the end of his tenure with the Red Devils, with unpredictable ups and downs in form. In recent matches, both Manchester United's starting and substitute goalkeepers have been directly scored against from corners, causing concern for head coach Ruben Amorim. Although bringing in a new goalkeeper is not the top priority in the transfer plan, the club is evaluating new goalkeepers and must at least introduce a more capable new signing to provide necessary competition for Onana. The 28-year-old Onana was praised at the beginning of the season for his multiple heroic saves that saved Manchester United, but recently he has made headlines for various errors. In the Premier League clean sheet rankings, he has been surpassed by Pickford of Everton, David Raya of Arsenal, and Mats Zelis of Nottingham Forest. Regarding whether he was fouled in the game against Wolves, former Premier League referee Dermot Gallagher explained that the opponent player Matt Doherty stood next to Onana first and did not actively move his position, so it was not a foul. "The rules allow players to choose their positions; he stood still without any foul actions," Gallagher said. "In fact, it was Onana who…
