Football is ever-changing, and the experiences of Manchester United's new star, Kobe Mino, over the past two years illustrate this point. Last season, he suffered a serious injury at the beginning, and no one expected him to have such a strong finish, becoming the most promising player on the team and even starting for England in the European Cup. However, since the start of this season, the 19-year-old English international has fallen into a slump, performing poorly and missing two months due to a foot injury. Although he performed well against big teams like Manchester City, Liverpool, and Arsenal, he was again in poor form against weaker opponents like Southampton, failing to take a shot on goal and being substituted at halftime. The rumors of demanding a weekly salary of 200,000 pounds have angered fans, who call for him to be sold. In the plans of Manchester United owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe, Mino is no longer indispensable and can be sold if the price is right. If Mino were in a stable team, he could develop better, but in today's Red Devils, his potential may not be suitable for development, which could depend on his physical development, the team's tactics, and his own thoughts. In today's Premier League, standards for height, running ability, and physical fitness have significantly increased. Since the 2019/20 season, few clubs have given playing time to midfielders under 175cm tall. From the 2022/23 season to the 2023/24 season, the playing time of midfielders close to 185cm has increased by 25%, with midfielders needing to be tall,…

Do you know? Manchester United is currently eyeing a center forward who is about to become a free agent. This player has an average of nearly 0.5 goals per game in his career. It's no secret that top European clubs are also closely watching, and the intensity of this competition is truly fierce. In the past eight days alone, Manchester United has truly demonstrated the initial effectiveness of the 3-4-3 formation and tactical requirements set by Amorim. Initially, they faced Liverpool at Anfield in a fierce battle that ended in a 2-2 draw. This result ignited the morale of Manchester United, which soared. Subsequently, in the FA Cup, Manchester United faced Arsenal, another formidable opponent, and successfully eliminated them. In that match, Manchester United had a player sent off and persisted for over an hour with one less player on the field. However, they ultimately held on tenaciously. To fully leverage Amorim's coaching abilities, it is essential to introduce players who fit his system more closely. The wing-backs need to be able to handle pressure steadily in both attack and defense, and finding a strong center forward is also crucial. Speaking of Højlund, since joining from Atalanta, his average goal tally is only 0.34 (a total of 23 goals in 67 games). As for Zirkzee, his specific performance in the English league still needs to be observed. According to the latest information from TuttoJuve, Manchester United is currently evaluating a highly efficient center forward.

Klopp, as a world-class top coach, has also achieved quite remarkable results in leading Liverpool over the years. However, it is unfortunate that last season, when they had an advantage, they collapsed directly at the last moment of the Premier League title race, and Klopp made a decisive decision to leave. In such a situation, Liverpool was not favored by everyone. It was widely believed that after Klopp left, Liverpool's performance would show a significant decline. However, it now appears that after Sloth took office, Liverpool's performance has instead shown a significant improvement, which makes everyone feel very relieved. As for Klopp, the former Liverpool manager, he also accepted an interview. This is also Klopp's first appearance after joining Red Bull, naturally attracting considerable attention. During the program, Klopp said: "I am very happy that Liverpool's performance is excellent. I still keep in touch with Sloth and some players. Only 0.1% of people think I should continue to stay there. So my leaving was a very correct thing." It can be seen that Klopp's departure from the team was actually planned long ago. Even though the club has now achieved a perfect record, Klopp has no regrets about leaving. Furthermore, Klopp criticized Arnold by name at the end, saying: "Arnold did not perform well in the match against Manchester United. He needs to learn how to defend. His defense is just too bad."
