On January 17th, Beijing time, Manchester United made a comeback victory against Southampton in the Premier League. In the first half, Ugarte scored an own goal during a corner kick defense, leaving Manchester United trailing 0-1. However, Amad Diallo came to the rescue, scoring a hat-trick and helping the Red Devils secure a 3-1 win. While Solskjaer's signing of Diallo has brought joy to the fans, Ten Hag's introduction of the Danish striker has left them frustrated. In 8 games, Diallo has scored 0 goals and provided 0 assists, revealing his true form. Ten Hag seems to have made a mistake, with a £73.9 million investment going down the drain. In early 2021, Manchester United signed Diallo from Atalanta for a transfer fee of 21.3 million euros. This season, with more opportunities, Diallo has exploded, scoring 9 goals and providing 7 assists by the halfway point of the season. He has performed exceptionally well against strong teams like Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur, and Liverpool, becoming the first player to complete a hat-trick for Manchester United since Cristiano Ronaldo. Similarly, both Diallo and Hojlund transferred from Atalanta to Manchester United, but while Diallo has shown incredible talent, Hojlund has increasingly disappointed United fans. In the match against Southampton, Hojlund completed only 2 key passes, had 1 shot on goal, successfully contested 2 out of 10 duels, touched the ball 17 times but lost possession 6 times, and was substituted by Zirkzee just 8 minutes into the second half. After Hojlund's substitution, Manchester United turned the game around. Hojlund is quite active…

Manchester United's Diawara completed a hat-trick in just 12 minutes, leaving fans who left early feeling disappointed! Manchester United faced Southampton at home, with the bottom-placed Saints giving United enough of a threat from the start, but only managing to score an own goal created by Uga. Fans criticized Menu, Hojlund, and Jolo, and if not for Onana's heroic performance, United would have been overwhelmed in the first half. In the second half, substitute Anthony missed the best chance to score! Other players' shots were also saved by Ramsdale. Some fans left the stadium cursing. They couldn't see any hope for United. Some even began to doubt that the problem with United wasn't with Ten Hag. It's always in despair that one bursts forth. Diawara broke through on the flank, turning a dead horse into a live one! In the 82nd minute, Diawara suddenly accelerated and bravely entered the fray, taking advantage of the confusion in Southampton's backline to score! This goal was thanks to Zirkzee's quick pass, as Southampton's defense quickly retreated but failed to cover all angles on Diawara's side! After feinting, Diawara chose to shoot himself, catching Southampton off guard and equalizing the score. Diawara continued to accelerate, and he and Eriksen actually completed a wall-pass combination. After passing to Eriksen, Diawara quickly darted forward to seize the space and drop point. Eriksen played a direct overhead pass behind him to Diawara, and United managed a crazy high-speed combination in the final moments, completely stunning Southampton. Diawara scored his second goal, achieving the "flow" style of play.…

In the first 10 minutes of the game, neither team had a shot on goal, and Manchester United could not gain an advantage on the field. The first two shots of both teams came from Southampton, until the 16th minute when Garnacho completed the first shot for the Red Devils. 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.

On December 31st, Manchester United suffered a defeat, and Amorim found himself on the pillar of shame. In the early hours of today, Manchester United lost 0-2 to Newcastle, causing the 70,000 fans at Old Trafford to completely break down, while Amorim on the sidelines fell into despair. Before joining Manchester United, Amorim was synonymous with victory at Sporting Portugal. However, upon arriving at Manchester United, his magic seemed to disappear instantly. He appeared lost; when he first joined the team, he had a full smile, but now he is always seen with a worried expression, often holding his head in frustration. Amorim has been unable to lead the team out of its difficulties, both offensively and defensively. In his first 11 games coaching Manchester United, Amorim conceded a total of 20 goals, with a defense that was as flimsy as paper. In these 11 games, his record was dismal, with 4 wins, 1 draw, and 6 losses. Since Amorim took over Manchester United, only one team in the entire Premier League has lost more games than Manchester United (6 losses), which is Southampton (7 losses). It's not an exaggeration to say that Manchester United is now a super weak team that everyone can bully. According to statistics from the British media, Amorim's first 8 rounds of league matches at Manchester United resulted in 5 losses, the worst record among all Manchester United managers (tied with two others), the first such occurrence in 103 years! After joining Manchester United, Amorim insisted on using a three-center-back tactic, but this strategy did…
