In the early hours of January 20th, Beijing time, Manchester United suffered a 1-3 defeat at home against Brighton in a key match of the 22nd round of the Premier League. At the final whistle, 39-year-old Manchester United manager Amorim sat silently on the bench with an ashen face, seemingly helpless about the current state of Manchester United. It is unknown whether the club's management regrets their decision to hire him at this moment. During the game, Amorim stubbornly persisted with his 3-man defensive formation (3-4-2-1), which once again exposed problems in the team's backline. Despite Manchester United briefly equalizing through B fee's penalty and taking control of the field in the second half, they ultimately conceded two more goals due to defensive lapses and goalkeeper Onana's "butterfingers" gift. As a result, Manchester United suffered their third consecutive home defeat against Brighton over three seasons. Since taking charge of Manchester United, Amorim has led the team in 15 matches with a dismal record of 5 wins, 3 draws, and 7 losses, including 6 defeats in the Premier League. Among the three managers who have coached Manchester United this season, Amorim has the most losses. His record is even worse than that of Ten Hag (4 wins, 6 draws, 4 losses). Since his appointment, only Southampton, Leicester City, and Tottenham have lost more games. Although Amorim has led the team to impressive victories such as defeating Manchester City away, drawing with Liverpool away, and eliminating Arsenal with one less player in the FA Cup, he has failed to help Manchester United…

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 two months under the guidance of Amorim, Manchester United is gradually finding its form, with a draw against Liverpool in the Premier League away game, an FA Cup victory over Arsenal with one less player on the road, and a comeback win against Southampton at home. With the winter transfer window now open, Manchester United manager Amorim has begun to make changes to the team's lineup. On January 19th, Beijing time, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reported that Manchester United is in discussions with Real Betis regarding a deal involving Antony. Romano stated that the transfer plan involves Antony joining Real Betis on loan until June, without a buyout clause. Manchester United will cover part of the player's salary, and Antony is open to the move to Real Betis, with the deal close to being finalized. Antony's performance at Manchester United has been poor, and his salary is high. It is understandable that Manchester United would want to loan him out. Antony has not been able to secure consistent playing time at Manchester United and could benefit from a change of scenery at Real Betis. Real Betis has a history of signing players who have been let go by top clubs, such as Isco from Real Madrid, Riqui Puig from Barcelona, Adrian from Liverpool, and Giovani Lo Celso from Tottenham Hotspur. During Antony's loan period, Manchester United will pay part of the player's salary, allowing Real Betis to test the 24-year-old former Brazilian international, who could provide additional options for their La Liga and Europa League campaigns. Looking back, it…

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…

On January 15th, Beijing time, the Premier League leader Liverpool encountered resistance. In the away game against Nottingham Forest, Liverpool conceded a goal in the 8th minute, with Wood breaking through the Liverpool goal. In the 66th minute, two substitute players connected, with Zimikas' corner kick assisting Jota to score, and the two teams eventually drew 1-1. Nottingham Forest has risen this season, and Manchester United also "contributed." In 6 rounds, the 22-year-old discarded by Manchester United shone in the Premier League, with Ten Hag making a mistake and letting go of a cheap winger. Liverpool has only lost one game in the Premier League this season, a 0-1 defeat at home to Nottingham Forest. In the second leg of their match, Liverpool remained unbeaten. Liverpool's recent progress has been slow, drawing with Manchester United and Nottingham Forest in the Premier League, losing 0-1 to Tottenham in the first leg of the League Cup, and only winning in the FA Cup, beating League Two team Accrington 4-0. Currently, Liverpool has 47 points and ranks first in the Premier League, while Nottingham Forest, having played one more game, has 41 points and is temporarily ranked second. Nottingham Forest's ability to lead many top teams and rank second in the Premier League standings, with an advantage over Liverpool in both matches, is quite remarkable. Manchester United sold Elanga to Nottingham Forest, which contributed to Nottingham Forest's development. In the game against Liverpool, Elanga provided a through ball, piercing the Liverpool defense, and Wood took the opportunity to score with a low shot.…

In the Premier League on January 15th, Beijing time, the league leaders Liverpool faced resistance. In the away match against Nottingham Forest, Liverpool conceded a goal within 8 minutes, with Wood breaking through Liverpool's goal. In the 66th minute, two substitute players connected, with Tsimikas assisting Jota to score from a corner kick, and the two teams eventually drew 1-1. Nottingham Forest has risen this season, and Manchester United also "contributed." In six rounds, a 22-year-old player discarded by Manchester United shone in the Premier League, with Ten Hag missing the mark and letting go of a fast winger at a bargain price. Liverpool has only lost one game in the Premier League this season, a 0-1 defeat at home to Nottingham Forest. In the second leg between the two sides, Liverpool remained unbeaten. Liverpool's recent progress has been slow, drawing with Manchester United and Nottingham Forest in the Premier League, losing 0-1 to Tottenham in the first leg of the League Cup, but winning in the FA Cup with a 4-0 victory over Accrington Stanley of League Two. Currently, Liverpool has 47 points and is ranked first in the Premier League, while Nottingham Forest, having played one more game, has 41 points and is temporarily ranked second. Nottingham Forest's ability to lead many top teams and rank second in the Premier League standings, with an advantage over Liverpool in both matches, is quite remarkable.

For an entire hour, Manchester United played with only ten men and managed to defeat Arsenal through a penalty shootout, advancing to the FA Cup's round of 32, a result that many did not expect before the match. This is also the second time in two years that head coach Amorim has eliminated Arsenal via a penalty shootout; the first instance occurred in the Europa League at the Emirates Stadium, where Sporting CP from Portugal knocked out their opponents in the round of 16, with Martinelli being the only player from both teams to miss his penalty. If we exclude penalties, Manchester United has been unable to secure a victory in any of their six games since their comeback against Manchester City. However, in the recent two matches against Liverpool and Arsenal, fans have expressed satisfaction, at least seeing some hope. Additionally, by trusting two players, Amorim has received positive returns, something that Ten Hag was unable to achieve during his two-year tenure. Maguire, who faced much controversy under Ten Hag, had his captain's armband taken away and endured widespread criticism. Despite this, the former captain remained diligent and did not publicly utter a single word of dissatisfaction, serving as a model for other players. Even when he was on the brink of leaving the team, Maguire continued to work diligently, giving his all whenever he took the field. One wonders if Rashford felt any emotional impact upon witnessing this display. Earlier, Manchester United activated an extension clause, ensuring that Maguire would remain with the club for at least another…

On January 10th, Beijing time, the third round of the FA Cup kicked off, with Fulham playing against Watford, a Championship team, at home. The match was one-sided, and Fulham emerged victorious with a score of 4-1. Muniz, Jimenez, Anosson, and Castagne each scored for Fulham, while Watford's Vata found the net. Many Manchester United fans were also paying attention to this match, as a former United player stood out. Manchester United has suffered a significant loss! They mistakenly trusted Ten Hag: they sold their midfield engine for a pittance, and now he has led his new club to an unbeaten streak of 9 games. In this FA Cup encounter, Fulham had a possession rate of 72%, with 27 shots and 8 on target, while Watford had a possession rate of 28%, with 5 shots and 2 on target. Watford performed significantly better than their opponents, scoring first in the 26th minute through Muniz. In the 33rd minute, Vata scored, helping Watford equalize the score. Watford continued to exert pressure in the second half, scoring three goals. Jimenez converted a penalty, followed by goals from Anosson and Castagne, securing a resounding victory for Fulham and advancing them to the next round. Currently, three teams have advanced in the third round of the FA Cup, including Fulham, Sheffield United, and Everton. In Fulham's resounding victory over Watford, the standout player was Pereira, who joined from Manchester United. Pereira wore the captain's armband for Fulham and completed a remarkable 9 key passes, hit the frame of the goal with a shot, and…

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…

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…
