Top-level signing! A 90 million euro striker has officially agreed to join Manchester United! Amorim signs Paris wing Is Manchester United really going to turn things around? Since the end of the Ferguson era, this English Red Devil seems to have been on a "bumpy" path. Expensive signings and frequent managerial changes have become the team's "new tradition." However, recently, something has changed. After Amorim took office, Manchester United's form gradually improved, and the tactical system began to show results. But is this the faint light before dawn or another "false spring"? The signs of recovery have excited fans, but there are still many doubts. Don't be too happy too early, as problems still persist. Can Manchester United truly rise again? Who is Amorim? Those who know a little about Portuguese football should be familiar with his name. As a young coach, his coaching at Sporting Lisbon was called "phenomenal," not only breaking the hegemony of the Portuguese league but also showcasing a refreshing tactical mindset. This move to Manchester United is arguably the biggest challenge of his career. Jumping from the "small pond" of the Portuguese league to the "big sea" of the Premier League, Amorim clearly didn't plan to just "make a living." His biggest highlight is his willingness to play high pressing. This tactic requires extremely high physical fitness, but the returns are obvious - more aggressive in attack and tighter in defense. To say nothing else, in recent games, Manchester United's running data and overall performance have significantly improved. For a team that has been criticized…

Although Manchester United has not tasted victory in five consecutive matches across all competitions, the team has recently shown clear signs of a state recovery. Whether it's from the players' spirit and fighting spirit or tactical operations, their progress and improvement are very significant. In the eyes of outsiders, it seems that Amorim has found the "key" to activate the team. It is believed that if Manchester United can complete one or two top-level signings in this transfer window, they have the potential to make a comeback in the second half of the season and return to where they should be. The "Amorim Tactics" are gradually taking shape. From recent performances, Amorim's tactical ideas have begun to emerge at Manchester United. Especially during transitions from attack to defense, the team places great emphasis on high pressing. Players such as Bruno Fernandes and Ho Yuren will rush to pressure the opponent's ball carrier and block their passing lines in the first instance. This tactical arrangement has won valuable time for the defensive setup in the midfield and backline. One reason Rashford was previously "sent to the cold bench" was his lackadaisical defensive attitude. After the opponent enters their own 30-meter defensive zone, the positioning of Manchester United players becomes more compact, and the formation's integrity is better than before. This defensive system effectively improves the team's defensive efficiency. Meanwhile, the outstanding performance of key players has become the "catalyst" for the team. The most representative is Bruno Fernandes. For a long time, Bruno Fernandes, as the core of the team's offense,…

For Manchester United, this season has undoubtedly entered the biggest trough in recent years. Since Ratcliffe took over the team, Manchester United's performance has always been unable to return to the right track. At present, this Red Devil boss is seeking change, from operational concepts to transfer directions, Manchester United will usher in a thorough adjustment. Judging from the situation of this transfer period, Duke has made a move, and Manchester United is on the road to complete reconstruction, several important transfers have been put on the agenda. "Waste Wood" Big Names Are Not Taken Over In the Manchester United first team, Rashford is one of the highest-paid players, with a weekly salary of 325,000 pounds ranking among the top in Manchester United's history. However, the professional spirit of this England international has been questioned in the past two seasons. After Amorim took over the team, he chose to abandon this star player after only two or three games. In consecutive games, Rashford was even excluded from the match squad. It is reported that the reason why Amorim chose to "break up" with Rashford is not so much competitive as it is because of his overly relaxed attitude. It is reported that the day before an important game, Rashford still chose to stay out all night. When Amorim learned of the news and asked him, Rashford made excuses and cover-ups. In Amorim's view, Rashford has obviously affected the atmosphere in the team's locker room, and if he continues to let him go, the team will not be able to return…

During the first half of the game, at the 33rd minute, Zirkzee was substituted and rushed straight to the locker room. He later returned to the bench wearing a coat. Eager to showcase his skills in front of the home fans, he unexpectedly ended up retreating in disarray, with his frustration clearly visible on his face. Players who perform poorly can seek solace on the bench, but Amorim had to remain on the sidelines, enduring the scorching gaze of angry fans as the price for his tactical blunder. In the first 20 minutes of the match, Newcastle entered the penalty area 10 times, scoring 2 goals from 5 shots, while Manchester United never penetrated their opponent's penalty area during this period, appearing very passive on the field. Through strong confrontations to gain possession, they patiently organized outside the Red Devils' defense, with hardly any hindrance in continuous lateral passes, completing crosses in front of the helpless red-clad wing-backs, ultimately sounding an air raid alarm over Lisandro Martinez... The two goals scored by Newcastle followed the same process, with Eddie Howe's offensive tactics perfectly exploiting Manchester United's weaknesses, and Amorim's rotation decisions fell right into their hands. Since the big win against Everton, Manchester United has been plagued by misfortune in multiple consecutive matches. In the Manchester derby, there were incidents of key players leaving early and own-goal assists, and when visiting Molineux, they received a red card for "helping teammates win." Vitor Pereira sincerely thanked the Red Devils for their "gift" in the post-match interview last round, expressing pity for…

For Barcelona, although the team's operational situation this season has shown significant improvement compared to previous seasons, the club has once again stumbled in individual player transfer operations. After the registration deadline in the middle of the season, Barcelona still failed to register Olmo, which undoubtedly caused significant losses for the team. According to La Liga regulations, Olmo will not be able to represent Barcelona at least for the second half of this season. In the most pessimistic scenario, Barcelona may ultimately face a situation where they "lose both their wife and their troops." At the beginning of this season, when Barcelona signed Olmo, the team did not have the conditions to register the player. At that time, Laporta took advantage of the injuries of players like Christensen to trigger the injury clause of La Liga, allowing Olmo to be registered. However, with the recovery of Christensen and others, Barcelona could no longer use this clause. In this situation, Laporta has taken various measures in the past period to try to convince the management of La Liga to agree to register Olmo, but all were rejected. With the registration deadline over, all of Barcelona's efforts have ultimately failed. According to the contract between Barcelona and Olmo, if Barcelona cannot continue to register Olmo for the second half of the season, the player has the right to immediately terminate the contract without having to pay a breach of contract fee and can receive the full salary for the six-year contract period. Currently, Olmo faces two choices. The first is to immediately…

After Manchester United's 0-2 loss to Wolverhampton Wanderers, coach Ruben Amorim's actions at Molineux Stadium sparked transfer rumors. The 39-year-old Portuguese coach entered the field and embraced Matheus Cunha, the opposing team's core player who had one assist and one goal in the match, playing the role of a nemesis for the Red Devils. United's failure to neutralize Cunha was a key reason for their defeat; he scored directly from a corner kick to open the scoring and assisted Hwang Hee-chan in stoppage time to secure the win. Interestingly, Cunha has long been rumored as a potential target for United, with the 25-year-old former Atletico Madrid player previously linked with a move to Old Trafford. If Cunha were to transfer to United, he could play as a center forward or one of the two number 10 positions in Amorim's 3-4-3 formation, potentially replacing Bruno Fernandes, who has faced criticism over the past two years. The 30-year-old B Fee renewed his contract this summer for a weekly salary of 300,000 pounds, only to fall victim to the curse of United stars whose performance declines after a pay raise. In addition to Cunha, United has also been linked with Barcelona's Dani Olmo this week, who is facing registration issues in the new year. If Barcelona cannot register him, Olmo could be available for a free transfer. His agent, Andy Bara, is reportedly in Manchester and watched the City vs Everton game. Should this situation occur, United would consider signing Olmo, but there is one problem: the team's current poor form means the…
