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,…

Despite having been sacked by Manchester United, Erik ten Hag has left behind numerous issues that new manager Amorim is struggling to resolve. Ten Hag's expensive signings, including Antony, Hojlund, Mount, and Zirkzee, have failed to prove themselves at the club, leading to a stockpile of overpriced underperformers. Additionally, Ten Hag drove away several key players from Manchester United. The team is now suffering significant losses due to misplaced trust in Ten Hag, who undervalued and sold their talented winger: now shining in the Premier League and leading his new team to contend for the championship. Although Manchester United managed to draw with Liverpool, they have gone five consecutive matches without a win, recording one draw and four losses. Currently sitting 13th in the Premier League, they are only seven points above Ipswich, who are third from bottom in the relegation zone. If United's winless streak continues, there is a risk of them falling into the relegation zone. During Ten Hag's tenure at Manchester United, he sold winger Elanga, who joined Nottingham Forest for a transfer fee of 17.5 million euros. This Swedish international has since helped his new team achieve remarkable feats this season. On January 7th, Beijing time, in the 20th round of the Premier League, Nottingham Forest comfortably defeated Wolverhampton Wanderers 3-0 away from home. Elanga was directly involved in Nottingham Forest's first goal, providing a cross in the 7th minute for White to score against his former club. In addition to his assist, Elanga made the most key passes in the game with four, as well…

For Bayern Munich, although their form has been somewhat inconsistent in recent matches, winning only two out of four consecutive league games, they still maintain a four-point lead in the league standings. With the return of key players such as Kingsley Coman, Gnabry, and Neuer from injury, Bayern is expected to be more competitive in the second half of the season. At the same time, during this winter transfer window, Bayern is also expected to complete one or two important transfers to strengthen their squad. From the lineup perspective, Alphonso Davies remains the biggest uncertainty for Bayern. In terms of personal performance, Alphonso Davies has continued his excellent form this season, making 21 appearances across all competitions, scoring one goal and providing three assists. Defensively, he averages 1.6 tackles, 1.3 interceptions, and 0.5 successful headers per game. Offensively, he averages 63.9 passes with a success rate of 91%, ranking him among the top two left-backs in the Bundesliga. Additionally, he averages 1.7 successful dribbles and creates 1.5 fouls against opponents. Overall, Alphonso Davies is still considered one of the top three left-backs in European football. Due to these reasons, Alphonso Davies demanded a significant pay raise during contract renewal negotiations with Bayern, which has led to a stalemate that has lasted over two years without any progress. It is widely believed that with less than half a season remaining on his contract, Alphonso Davies' chances of staying with the team are slim, with several clubs, including Real Madrid and Manchester City, showing interest. His team has already started negotiating contract…

Manchester United's winter transfer window moves are usually significant, especially when they have sufficient funds or can create salary space by selling players. The management at Old Trafford always manages to make some big moves. Recently, the topic of Fofana's transfer has been hotly discussed within the Premier League circle. This time, Manchester United seems to have set their sights on an impressive target - Fofana, the Dutch international from Bayer Leverkusen. Manchester United's winter transfer plan has already had a general direction. The team urgently needs to strengthen, and the most important area is the right-sided attacking player. Fofana just meets this need. You should know that this Dutch youngster is indeed an offensive weapon at Bayer Leverkusen. Last season, he helped the team win the Bundesliga and DFB-Pokal double, contributing 14 goals and 12 assists, with a performance that impressed everyone. Even this year, he still delivered 2 goals and 8 assists, although he is a bit "flirtatious" and not without yellow cards (he already has 6), his performance on the field remains eye-catching. Speaking of Fofana's characteristics, it is necessary to mention his imbalance in attack and defense. On the offensive end, he is simply the kind of person who "comes and doesn't want to leave," proficient in dribbling, crossing, and shooting. But when it comes to defense... this guy is clearly not an all-rounder, and defensive loopholes can still be seen. This shortcoming may worry many people, especially since Manchester United currently requires a more balanced right-sided player under their tactical system. If viewed from an…

Although Ten Hag has been sacked by Manchester United, he has left many problems for the club that new coach Amorim finds difficult to solve. Ten Hag spent a huge transfer fee on signing players like Antony, Hojlund, Mount, and Zirkzee, who have failed to prove themselves at Manchester United. The club is now stuck with several high-priced, low-performing players, and Ten Hag also drove away several of Manchester United's talented players. Manchester United has suffered a significant loss due to misplaced trust in Ten Hag, who undervalued the sale of their wing speedster: now shining in the Premier League and leading the team to contend for the championship. Despite drawing with Liverpool, Manchester United has not won in five consecutive matches, with one draw and four losses. They are currently in 13th place in the Premier League, with Ipswich, third from bottom in the relegation zone, seven points behind them. If Manchester United continues without a win, there is a risk of falling into the relegation zone. During Ten Hag's tenure at Manchester United, he sold winger Elanga, who joined Nottingham Forest for a transfer fee of 17.5 million euros. This Swedish international has helped his new team create miracles this season. On January 7th, Beijing time, in the 20th round of the Premier League, Nottingham Forest easily defeated Wolverhampton Wanderers 3-0 away from home. Elanga was directly involved in Nottingham Forest's first goal, providing a cross in the 7th minute for White to score against his former club. In addition to recording one assist, Elanga also made the…

The winter transfer window is approaching, and the European top five leagues are about to reach the halfway point of the season. In the major European football giants, some players have swept away the gloom of last season and re-proven themselves, such as Chelsea's Enzo, Mudrik, and Manchester United's Diao stars. However, many stars have experienced a cliff-like decline in performance and are likely to be kicked out by their teams. Manchester United - Rashford As a prodigy from Manchester United's youth training, Rashford holds a special place in the hearts of Manchester United fans, and he has always been one of the core players at Manchester United, with a very stable position. However, after contributing "30+9" in the 2022-2023 season, he quickly declined in the following two seasons, scoring only 7 goals this season, which does not match his high salary of 320,000 pounds. Worse still, recently, the conflict between him and head coach Amorim escalated rapidly, with the latter believing that he was not actively participating in the game and being benched for four consecutive games. The 27-year-old Rashford responded defiantly, publicly stating that he was ready to leave Manchester United and embrace new challenges. This has caused a stir, and Rashford has gradually become a marginal figure at Manchester United. The club's management has also decided to clean up Rashford and warned other players within the team that if they do not train hard and pay attention to their behavior, Rashford will serve as a warning to them. Arsenal - Zinchenko In July 2022, Arsenal spent 35…

Under new coach Ruben Amorim, last season's best player Diogo Dalot remains one of Manchester United's absolute mainstays. However, the Portuguese full-back's performance has been unsatisfactory, as he has had to play out of position on the left, leading to growing dissatisfaction among Red Devils fans. However, in European football, the 25-year-old Dalot has attracted many potential buyers, including Real Madrid! At the start of the season, Real Madrid veteran Dani Carvajal suffered a serious knee ligament injury that required surgery and ended his season, leaving coach Carlo Ancelotti in need of a new right-back. Trent Alexander-Arnold of Liverpool is the player "Galacticos" most want to sign, but prying him away from Anfield is no easy task. The 26-year-old Alexander-Arnold not only came through the ranks at Liverpool but has spent his entire career there and is also in contention for the club's second-ever Premier League title. Therefore, whether his contract is about to expire or not, leaving in January is not his preferred option. After Alexander-Arnold, Real Madrid sees Manchester United's Dalot as a backup option. English media reports reveal that they have been keen to find out if Amorim would be willing to sell this Portuguese international. Despite playing a key role for the Red Devils so far this season, Dalot has been playing out of position at left-back due to Luke Shaw's continuous injuries. In the recently concluded double-header against Liverpool, Dalot outperformed Alexander-Arnold, causing the latter to be substituted early by manager Jurgen Klopp. However, if Manchester United were to bring in a new left-back, Dalot…

Being able to secure a point against Liverpool is undoubtedly an acceptable outcome for Manchester United, especially considering they managed to score two goals. The standout performer was naturally B Fee, the team's front-line attacking core, who returned to the field after resting for one match and delivered an impressive performance that was crucial to the team's victory. On the defensive end, despite missing an open goal in the 97th minute, Harry Maguire remains a key player in Manchester United's defense. With the protection of a holding midfielder, Maguire has helped stabilize the team's backline. Shortly before this match, Manchester United announced the renewal of Maguire's contract, activating the extension clause in his contract, ensuring he will remain with the team until at least 2026. This decision was met with skepticism from many fans, given Maguire's age of 31 and his less-than-ideal performances in the previous two seasons. However, from Amorim's perspective, Maguire, who is low-key, hardworking, and has distinctive defensive qualities, is undoubtedly a very important player in his squad, as proven by the match against Liverpool. During the match against Liverpool, Maguire played as the central center-back in a three-man defense, contributing four interceptions, one tackle, seven clearances, and four blocked shots. He also had notable performances in key passes and success rate in duels, demonstrating his importance. Maguire's outstanding performance was closely related to the contributions of Uruguayan midfielder Ugart, whose interceptions, sweeping actions, and passing provided ample protection for Maguire. Maguire's technical characteristics are quite distinct, with excellent ability in direct confrontations and almost no significant…

In the Premier League's double red derby, Diallo saved Manchester United. In the away match against Liverpool, Lima scored first for Manchester United, but later De Ligt made a mistake and conceded a penalty, followed by Gakpo and Salah scoring consecutively to reverse the score for the Red Devils. In the 80th minute, Diallo stepped up to help Manchester United draw 2-2 with Liverpool. Diallo is the biggest surprise of Manchester United this season, but on the other hand, Manchester United suffered a great loss! They sold a versatile forward for 26 million pounds: now he has created 13 goals in 17 games, outshining Diallo. After drawing with Liverpool, Manchester United ended their four-game losing streak, but they are still ranked 13th in the Premier League, only 7 points more than Ipswich, who are third from the bottom, making Manchester United a relegation team in the Premier League. The 22-year-old Diallo has played 28 times for Manchester United this season, starting 18 times, with 6 goals and 7 assists. He has repeatedly saved the team, and without Diallo's miraculous performance, it would have been even harder for Manchester United. Diallo is one of the few outstanding players for Manchester United this season, providing some comfort to the fans. Diallo is very talented and is now a key player in Manchester United's attack. Unfortunately, the stronger Greenwood was sold by Manchester United this summer. On the day of the match between Manchester United and Liverpool, Greenwood's French giants Marseille defeated Le Havre 5-1, with Greenwood setting up the fourth goal for…

This season's second Premier League "Double Red Club" did not present a one-sided trend like the first leg. Manchester United took the lead in the second half and quickly turned the score around with two goals from Liverpool. Diawara "saved the day" again, and both sides had to settle for a draw, each taking a point from Anfield. For Manchester United, this was a very important game. Prior to this, they had suffered three consecutive defeats in the Premier League without scoring a single goal. Statistics show that if Manchester United were still unable to score and lost to Liverpool, it would be the first time in over a hundred years of team history that they experienced four consecutive defeats without scoring, with the last such occurrence happening a year before Old Trafford, the Theater of Dreams, was even completed. Unsurprisingly, Rashford did not appear on the squad list, with Amorim citing "injury" as the reason, although everyone knew the real deal. Similarly, the controversial Garnacho did not start but came on as a substitute for Menu in the second half, with his positive performance seemingly reassuring everyone that Garnacho had not yet become another Rashford. Continuing to bench the top scorer of the league this season, Amorim made it clear to the outside world that he had decisively made his choice, sending a clear signal that Rashford could not stay! Although Rashford has been out for some time, Manchester United's performance has been quite poor, but they were able to turn the tide against Manchester City, draw with Liverpool,…
