@ Am i embarrassing myself? That list is what United have bought in the last 12 months, most in the last 5 months, and now the solution is to buy even more players. Now that’s embarrassing!
I’ve watched a lot of Mainoo, when he isn’t at his best he does seem to struggle covering ground and is half a second off at getting to dribblers making him look like he lacks physicality. However, every time Mainoo puts in a really good performance you see him also getting through a lot of defensive work, in those games he always seems to put in some memorable important slide tackles and really affects the game on both sides of the ball. As he matures and becomes more consistent (and as the team improves) I think he could really come into his own in the deeper role, especially as United need a technical player in build up who can take the ball under pressure and play through the press.
I think a lot of people don't realize what Mainoo offers they are casual watchers that see him struggle and hes not good enough or he plays well and hes now a world beater. When in reality he is an inconstant 19 year old with tons of talent and ability but shouldn't start every game. Let alone have the entire team relying on him playing well. Mainoo has the ability to play a deeper role with out a doubt but he can not play every single game at the same intensity. Maybe with a few more years under his belt that consistency will come either way United need depth and options.
Yeah this is my concern for the Nunes transfer. Although it could be a useful loan signing until the end of the season, it would be beneficial for all parties if it works out
Morita for united would be an actual genius offer. he would be very cheap, as he is 29 yo, he knows the system extremely well and is a very intelligent player. however, as a sporting fan, i pray it doesnt happen 😂
It's not similar. Atlético are a bigger team than Sevilla and they are regularly in the Champions League and pushing for trophies. He has nailed down a spot in the first team, getting in ahead of the legendary Koke. He is in the spotlight of the Spanish teams head coach and was in the last squad. He came through the atlético youth team and has an affinity to the club. It is believed he has a minimum release clause of 100 million. This is not FIFA or Football Manager. This makes no sense.
Adam Wharton should be considered. Great playmaker and also young with premier league experience. Works well in cdm. But also if amorim doesn't work out, he can fit into another system for another manager. I would go with alvaro carreras for that lwb position. If amorim fails, he slots in as LB well. I love the suggestions you make. They are thought out properly. The thing people suggest amorim wants to achieve has been defended against easily. I think he needs to find more solutions coz minteh and Murphy shut that wingback overlap quite well coz they always stayed with the wing back
The issue is that Wharton is signed through 2028 at a premier league midtable club. Any attempt to sign him would likely be a 100M+ affair while crystal palace wouldn’t even be really interested in selling such a talent unless necessary
@telluricdeer7611 possibly true. This is one of the fears about such a deal it could be a difficult negotiation since palace have regained momentum despite their shaky start to the season. But they are still in a relegation battle. So fingers 🤞
@chiefnkosi7705 he is really good. Could fit in many set ups. Good at moving the ball and great short snd long pass. Along side a ball carrier like maino I believe u would have a great midfield partnership. Prior to ugarte purchase I thought him to be a great option for ten hag and was valued at 30mil by then
Completely agree about Wharton! I felt like of all the options they could do with someone who will definitely be fit and Whartons struggled this season
I think the UEFA registration for UEL/UCL/CL restricts clubs to only 3 new players/replacements. So we'd have to limit to 3 this window and have a proper rebuild in the summer. But either way that's a highly unrealistic window coz the cost would be too much
Nunes and Barrios i think have no chance of actually happening but Luiz and Ait Nouri i think could potentially happen, i'd like to see us try to loan Douglas Luiz from Juve this month cause he isn't settled there.
I think the problem with the Luiz deal is that he probably doesn't want to be far from Turin given his partner plays for Juve women. He and Lehmann both moved to Juve from Villa in the summer.
Like some others have said, United need to be careful of falling down the “buy players the manager has worked with before” hole like they did with ETH. The club has run on short term solutions for way too long. Having said that, a Nunes loan until the end of the season could be beneficial to all parties involved. I like Kobe but I agree with JJ, he needs to be higher up the pitch. He doesn’t have the engine and physicality to cover the ground like Ugarte but he’s great in tight spaces. Honestly, our priority needs to be a LWB. Dalot is doing his best but it’s not great and Malacia/Shaw are unlikely to be fit/confident any time soon.
Wing backs is key for me. I know it's tempting to look at results and say "all the players are crap" but the wing-backs not getting up the pitch is the root cause of the system not working and causing the entire team to malfunction.
We need a LWB, and a left 10 this window. imo bruno is a bit slow for that position and his passing abilities will be utilised more alongside Ugarte. If Cunha is available, we should try for him. Adding a LWB, looks like it's gonna be Dorgu but Alvaro is also a great option would mean dalot can play on the RWB position where he could cross with his favoured foot. Then in the summer, we hopefully do a massive overhaul and build a squad suited to play Amorim's system
Imagine having Mount, Casemiro, Bruno, Eriksen, Ugarte, and Mainoo yet United still need more midfielders. Compare that to Liverpool that only has Chiesa as reinforcement this season. Chelsea and Man United literally have massive resources but they kept squandering it for nonsensical reason.
Liverpool spent over 100 million on their midfield the summer before, and they had a better squad already. I'll agree that the money spent on Casemiro and wages on Eriksen were a mistake, United needed to be building for the future, not spending big money for declining veterans
It's easy to spend cash if clubs don't rip you off like they do with United Feyenoord and Fenerbahce are the only clubs that didn't scam us when we signed Malacia and Bayindir
Not disputing United have bought poorly but I don't think this comment is entirely fair. 1. Bruno has always been a 10. He's played midfield, but he's a forward, so he shouldn't be in this conversation. 2. Mount is injured. Perhaps the medical department should have picked it up I don't know but whatever money they spent on him is essentially in the bin. Lucky escape for Liverpool who also wanted him. 3. Ugarte. He's playing. A midfielder is needed to complement him. 4. Mainoo. 19 years old. Can't be expected to play every game. 5. Erikson was a veteran brought in on a free. It was a tidy little signing and he's done fine given the overall outlay and he'll leave in the summer. 5. Casemiro. Yes fair point. Insane amount of money in terms of transfer fee and wages on a player of his age and profile but he should hopefully leave this summer if not this January. So tl;dr I don't think United needing one more, young, central midfielder is actually all that big a deal.
He isn't half that bad as it might seem, it just reflects whatever is happening before him. He has made a lot of very impressive saves, don't let that last error fool you.
Onana was the best keeper in the CL when he was at inter, I don’t think it’s a coincidence his form drops when he’s playing with a team that concedes 30 shots per game at times
@@Wittttte107 Should I let the catalogue of other errors he's made fool me? Or perhaps the fact that he just hoofs the ball out of play half the time with his kicks, despite allegedly being bought because of his ability with the ball at his feet? Literally the only thing he's good at are reaction saves. He was, at best, a £50m sidegrade from De Gea. And that's late-stage De Gea, once the rot had set in. He's not fit to lace peak De Gea's boots.
There’s also a Scottish midfielder for Napoli playing out of his mind right now. Lots of energy and athleticism and he gets goals. He’s everything Man U needs in their midfield.
In my opinion the smartest thing United can do is snap Chelseas hand off if they offer over £50m for Garnacho, because he isn't worth anywhere near that much and they can use that fee to bring in 2-3 players that immediately improve their starting line up. I understand that United are often marked up a bit extra on fees because clubs know that traditionally they've had more money than sense, but there are more and more release clauses in football nowadays (in Spain it's literally a rule that all players have to have release clauses) so there's lots of potential to take advantage of those where you can't be price gouged. This United squad is so void of talent its actually kind of scary. The biggest problem they have though, more than the players, manager, directors or board is the fans - I just don't see their fans being able to stomach a rebuild, even though they might be saying that's what they want right now. I mean there's already a minority of fans talking about getting rid of Amorim because results haven't instantly improved. Things are going to get worse at United before they get better, that's the unfortunate reality for them and their fans need to get very comfortable with that.
For LWB we don't really have to spend that much we should bring alvaro Fernandez for just 20 mill using buy back clause and get chilwell for the loan and onligation to buy till the end of season
Honorable mentions for CM: Kenneth Taylor, Quentin timber, both who have CL and European cup experience, Gabriel Sara I know he’s at galatasaray rn but at Norwich he was good. And I hate it when big clubs steal from little clubs. And this is also based on where Nottingham Forest finish. But I think Gibbs-white is an ELITE CM/CAM and can fit that role well. He has that dog in him.
United is like a stagnant pond, while City is like a flowing stream, gaining more strength as it moves forward with time. Savinho, Vitor Reis, Khusanov, Echeverri, Doku, Gvardiol, Lewis, Bobb, and McAtee. Not one of them is older than 22. Then there’s Haaland and Foden, who are just 24, yet already superstars. City is building a team that might not fall off for years, maybe even decades.
Forgot to mention MLS talents Cavan Sullivan and Christian McFarlane, who's already one of the fastest players in the World at 17 Not only them but Another good Centre back aswell in Juma Bah City's cooking while United hasn't even switched on the stove
Kerkez would be my 1st pick at LWB, think club should also target Alphonso Davies for the summer, sell/loan Malacia. Shaw can fill LWB or LCB slot when needed (when and if fit) Midfield we need a technical physical player with enough defensive nous, that would be Douglas Luiz, he can spray the passes to find the runs. Barrios could be the option in the summer, Luiz available on a loan now. Jonathan David on a precontract for the summer. I don't think the club has money to do anything big now or the summer without sales, free transfers, loans etc will be needed
always wondered how TH-cam tacticos overlooked Ait Nouri and they would mention unrealistic targets like Alphonso and Mendez when there’s one of the best left wingbacks in the league in Ait Nouri with a year left on his contract and just 23 years old, he goes pass 2-3 players with so much ease also has play everywhere on that left side; Lcb, Lb, Lwb, Lam even Ram.
Only 1:40 into the vid but i didnt see toby collyer as a player on the table. Hopefully he gets a mention as he is promising and needs to get more game time.
I think the 3 biggest problems in the current United setup are 1) Dalot 2) Mainoo and 3) Hojlund/Zirkzee. All three are simply not good enough and destroy Amorim's patterns of play. They should go for 1) Davies from Bayern on a free transfer in the summer 2) Matheus Cunha from Wolves right now and 3) Gyorkeres/ Osimhen in the summer. It would significantly improve the team. Then go for the next phase in 25/26 by signing a class CB - Huijsen from Bournemouth, a RWB who is better than Dalot/ Mazraoui (Frimpong, Dumfries) and a replacement for Bruno. Money can be raised by selling Garnacho, Rashford, Sancho (already agreed with Chelsea), Zirkzee and Maino (who is a terrible fit for AMorim'S system).
I think the only two options for that Ugarte partnership are either Ederson from Atalanta or Barrios from Atleti. But Ederson would be my pick. For the 10 role it has to be Dibling from Southampton. Ripped United to pieces.
Mainoo is fine. United have horrific options in wide positions, Bruno has most definitely not made that position his own. We need Cunha. Only thing I agree with is Rayan.
We have to look into Spain born mid fielders. They are all rounded playmakers, especially ball carriers. Someone comfortable with a ball on his feet, a dribbler, goo passer between tight spots
Dream signings would be Alan Varela, Adam Wharton or Ederson for that LCDM role. Diogo costa,Unai Simon or Gregor Kobel for GK. Kerkez, Nuno Mendes, Ait Nouri, Udogie, Gutierrez, Kadioglu or Alvaro carreras for LWB Sesko, Gyokeres or Osimhen for ST. Obviously we wont get all straight away but they would improve us now definitely and for the future
Only thing about the Nunes wildcard (which I can see happening) is the “problem” ETH had with signing ex players, so utd should just sign players Amorim had at sporting?
think the next midfield signing really has to be someone who can progress the ball from deep, because we struggle to do that centrally as it stands with Mainoo/Ugarte. One of the more fun suggestions ive seen is Stuttgart's Angelo Stiller
@@gluestix17 De Jong has everything this system needs, tho. You can play with 2 wide center backs and De Jong in a CB / CDM position in front of it. He has played there in his Ajax time too shortly and with Barcelona too. You have a Box-to-Box player in Maino, an ugarte in defensive position and a playmaker in De Jong. Your suggestion aint bad either but that is future.
@@samuelschonenberger Facts. They just don't make sensible transfer vids anymore 💔 It was so cool back then, when they pulled out a dm from the Russian league for United. Just very interesting compared to now.
@@Mainzeption That's true, those were more about shocasing super unknown players and what we can learn about it. The modern Interpretation of sensible transfers are more about, who would more realistically fit, which will lead to more obvious and less interesting players being mentioned. I think if you did sensible transfers for smaller clubs that would be more interesting since they don't have the money for the obviously good players that everybody knows and thus we wpuld get more interesting choices. Like in France they bring in players from the most random places, you almost have more space for creativity with less resources
Ferdi Kadioglu could have been a great left wing-back in Amorim's system. United were actually hovering above him last summer under Ten Hag but he chose Brighton. Probably the right decision lol.
Guys who're watching this should watch the last podcast by the Tifo Podcast channel. They explained pretty well the costs and opportunity costs of Ruben Amorim and Manchester United. Great podcast that is and it's criminal that there's only small amount of subs there. Please do subscribe that. Love Tifo & The Athletic. Great journalism. Specially hats off too David Ornstein, doing God's work in the transfer market. He's like a beacon of truth in sea of lies. Altogether great stuff
Hoffenheim's Tom Bischof should be considered as well, as Ugarte's pivot partner. 19y/o, final 6months of contract, left footed, good at both progressive passes & carries (& take-ons).
hasn't malacia been fit basically all season since september or so but just didn't get a chance? because i think he'd fit perfectly into that lwb position...
kudos on attempting the correct Portuguese pronunciations of the names, it's difficult for a native English speaker (which I also am, and learning Portuguese)
Good luck convincing these players to play for Manchester United. For the oast 10 years, the club forced moves by over paying players. They can no longer do that. What now? Only young, fairly unpopular players can be brought, and I hope for the best. Realistically, Manchester United must recruit like a PL mid table team to slowly improve. That's the pill the club didn't swallow years ago, and now they have to.
honestly uniteds starting 11 is pretty good, they just need a better goalie, cbs, wingbacks, holding midfielder, midfielders, wingers and striker
So basically, a whole new team

Savinho, Vitor Reis, Khusanov, Echeverri, Doku, Gvardiol, Lewis, Bobb, and McAtee. Not one of them is older than 22. Then there’s Haaland and Foden, who are just 24, yet already superstars. City is building a team that might not fall off for years, maybe even decades.
that's where cheating for years gets you. compared to the stealing, rat owners of united
Forgot to mention MLS talents Cavan Sullivan and Christian McFarlane, who's already one of the fastest players in the World at 17
Not only them but Another good Centre back aswell in Juma Bah
City's cooking while United hasn't even switched on the stove
Rocking that Aberdeen 1983 top…the year we beat Real Madrid to win the ECWC 👌
Kerkez would be my 1st pick at LWB, think club should also target Alphonso Davies for the summer, sell/loan Malacia. Shaw can fill LWB or LCB slot when needed (when and if fit)
Midfield we need a technical physical player with enough defensive nous, that would be Douglas Luiz, he can spray the passes to find the runs. Barrios could be the option in the summer, Luiz available on a loan now.
Jonathan David on a precontract for the summer.
I don't think the club has money to do anything big now or the summer without sales, free transfers, loans etc will be needed
davies signed with bayern already
@pepeefirat Then Kerkez and Ait Nouri as 2nd option. Not a fan of Ait Nouri defensively.
always wondered how TH-cam tacticos overlooked Ait Nouri and they would mention unrealistic targets like Alphonso and Mendez when there’s one of the best left wingbacks in the league in Ait Nouri with a year left on his contract and just 23 years old, he goes pass 2-3 players with so much ease also has play everywhere on that left side; Lcb, Lb, Lwb, Lam even Ram.
Why aren't yanited following this sound advice? (I am being 100% serious, great content as always)
Only 1:40 into the vid but i didnt see toby collyer as a player on the table. Hopefully he gets a mention as he is promising and needs to get more game time.
Poor mans McTom
I was going to scream Douglas Luiz, then you mentioned him. Another CM i would consider is Richard Rios. At the wingback Alphonso Davies please.
I like Barrios but he's not exactly tall, which was one of your main criteria. United need an imposing presence in the middle.
I think the 3 biggest problems in the current United setup are 1) Dalot 2) Mainoo and 3) Hojlund/Zirkzee. All three are simply not good enough and destroy Amorim's patterns of play.
They should go for 1) Davies from Bayern on a free transfer in the summer 2) Matheus Cunha from Wolves right now and 3) Gyorkeres/ Osimhen in the summer.
It would significantly improve the team.
Then go for the next phase in 25/26 by signing a class CB - Huijsen from Bournemouth, a RWB who is better than Dalot/ Mazraoui (Frimpong, Dumfries) and a replacement for Bruno.
Money can be raised by selling Garnacho, Rashford, Sancho (already agreed with Chelsea), Zirkzee and Maino (who is a terrible fit for AMorim'S system).
I think the only two options for that Ugarte partnership are either Ederson from Atalanta or Barrios from Atleti. But Ederson would be my pick.
For the 10 role it has to be Dibling from Southampton. Ripped United to pieces.
I would play Martinez alongside Ugarte, he's a formidable ballwinner and his passing is better than most.
Douglas Luiz is a great shout
Mainoo is fine. United have horrific options in wide positions, Bruno has most definitely not made that position his own. We need Cunha.
Only thing I agree with is Rayan.
We have to look into Spain born mid fielders. They are all rounded playmakers, especially ball carriers. Someone comfortable with a ball on his feet, a dribbler, goo passer between tight spots
Get Florentino Luis and Stiller. Activate buy back clause on Alvaro. Sign Cunha and CHerki
Dream signings would be Alan Varela, Adam Wharton or Ederson for that LCDM role.
Diogo costa,Unai Simon or Gregor Kobel for GK.
Kerkez, Nuno Mendes, Ait Nouri, Udogie, Gutierrez, Kadioglu or Alvaro carreras for LWB
Sesko, Gyokeres or Osimhen for ST.
Obviously we wont get all straight away but they would improve us now definitely and for the future
Only thing about the Nunes wildcard (which I can see happening) is the “problem” ETH had with signing ex players, so utd should just sign players Amorim had at sporting?
Not just. But finding a good midield option in the winter is actually REALLY difficult.
Barella is an excellent option for the team at the 8. Could be very expensive.
Bruno could be that player next to Ugarte. I think it’s his best position.
South America is a good market for players, and the Utd youth teams are good, but intergrating them has been difficult for utd.
think the next midfield signing really has to be someone who can progress the ball from deep, because we struggle to do that centrally as it stands with Mainoo/Ugarte. One of the more fun suggestions ive seen is Stuttgart's Angelo Stiller
Frenkie de Jong?
@tim3440 we're not doing this again 💀💀
@ did we do this before?
@tim3440 go after De Jong? yes 😭😭
not worth the chase with age (kinda), wage demands, likely fee and other minor issues
@@gluestix17 De Jong has everything this system needs, tho. You can play with 2 wide center backs and De Jong in a CB / CDM position in front of it. He has played there in his Ajax time too shortly and with Barcelona too. You have a Box-to-Box player in Maino, an ugarte in defensive position and a playmaker in De Jong. Your suggestion aint bad either but that is future.
Seeing Barrios getting recognition as an Atleti fan fills me with joy and pride. Our star boy
Loving the Aberdeen top.
The #1 position they need to fill is goalkeeper.
Bring in Charles De Ketelaere~
Petar Sučić doesn't have the reputation, but would be a perfect fit for united
surely a dortmund one
Nunes feels like what Mount should've been before Mount turned into Shaw
Ahhhhh i was waiting for this
Have a look at ardon jashari as a prospect for the future for the first transfer suggestion
Chris wooooooooooooooood🕺🏾
Moving Mainoo is a diabolical take
Leif Davidsson must surely be on Uniteds left back list as well. Shaw is still a good player but man oh man those fitness issues
He'll reject us as he's an ex Leeds player, the same way Archie Gray rejected us
This series was sooooo much better back when you got the videos illustrated and overdubbed. But great video nothing the less.
Tifo football is still making videos like that
@@samuelschonenberger Facts. They just don't make sensible transfer vids anymore 💔 It was so cool back then, when they pulled out a dm from the Russian league for United. Just very interesting compared to now.
@@Mainzeption That's true, those were more about shocasing super unknown players and what we can learn about it.
The modern Interpretation of sensible transfers are more about, who would more realistically fit, which will lead to more obvious and less interesting players being mentioned.
I think if you did sensible transfers for smaller clubs that would be more interesting since they don't have the money for the obviously good players that everybody knows and thus we wpuld get more interesting choices.
Like in France they bring in players from the most random places, you almost have more space for creativity with less resources
@ 100% agree. Clubs like Leeds & Ipswitch have 0 budget but huge following. Would be so sick if they did more content in that lane as well.
I’m just here for the comments 🍿
Ferdi Kadioglu could have been a great left wing-back in Amorim's system. United were actually hovering above him last summer under Ten Hag but he chose Brighton. Probably the right decision lol.
Guys who're watching this should watch the last podcast by the Tifo Podcast channel. They explained pretty well the costs and opportunity costs of Ruben Amorim and Manchester United.
Great podcast that is and it's criminal that there's only small amount of subs there. Please do subscribe that.
Love Tifo & The Athletic. Great journalism. Specially hats off too David Ornstein, doing God's work in the transfer market. He's like a beacon of truth in sea of lies. Altogether great stuff
United need a striker or two. Saying Rasmus is developing and needs game time doesn’t get more goals.
In my opinion Davies should be their top target
Iconic shirt.
Hoffenheim's Tom Bischof should be considered as well, as Ugarte's pivot partner. 19y/o, final 6months of contract, left footed, good at both progressive passes & carries (& take-ons).
Bayern already confirmed to sign him bro
He's joining Bayern in July 2025.
@@isaacnewton3514 Yeah, I just saw it was confirmed yday
@@isaacnewton3514 Yeah, I just saw it was confirmed yday
They are not back. The suffering is still continuing. Coz amorim has said he shall not change a thing.
"They've got 2 good goalkeepers" straight off the bat 😂😂😂😂
Really thought he would say Amadou Kone and Niels Nkunku
I’d love to see one for spurs
hasn't malacia been fit basically all season since september or so but just didn't get a chance? because i think he'd fit perfectly into that lwb position...
so excited...we're finally gonna land Ibrahim Sangaré
Ineos has found a better cheap option for lwb compared to wolves lwb, who will cost us 50 - 60 million
I actually like the idea of Nunes ngl.
Sporting Hujlmand is perfect because he’s cheap, knows the coach and he’s age won’t stop Maino development.
kudos on attempting the correct Portuguese pronunciations of the names, it's difficult for a native English speaker (which I also am, and learning Portuguese)
Barrios is such unfortunate timing, with his red car yesterday
Good luck convincing these players to play for Manchester United. For the oast 10 years, the club forced moves by over paying players. They can no longer do that. What now? Only young, fairly unpopular players can be brought, and I hope for the best. Realistically, Manchester United must recruit like a PL mid table team to slowly improve. That's the pill the club didn't swallow years ago, and now they have to.
The circle behind you looks like a halo..which is fitting because Utd need a miracle to improve.
man united taking notes for what they will DEFINITELY not do (i hate the ownership)
