How on earth would you sell hojlund and keep zirkzee it doesn't even make sense cuz for me hojlund would be a good second option upfront for gyokeres if needed
It makes perfect sense. You aren’t looking at stylistics. Hojlund doesn’t bring anything that Gyokeres doesn’t and we aren’t keeping a £60m asset on the bench. Why would you keep Hojlund over Zirkzee, when Zirkzee offers something different to Gyokeres and can play a completely different role as a CF. Hojlund would literally just be a back up to Gyokeres which is just a waste when we can recoup the Gyokeres fee by selling him.
@AtlantisFootball how, how sure are you united are going to sign or would be interested in isak and who knows if Newcastle would be willing to sell him, united better not sell hojlund cuz what if gyokeres gets injured who is going to fill in that position cuz zirkzee can't.
“How are you sure Man Utd are going to sign Isak” ?? You realise this isn’t a prediction video for who we are going to sign right? It’s who I would sign
What if Hojlund gets injured? That’s the same thing. What if Gyokeres doesn’t get injured and we have Hojlund sitting on the bench who doesn’t offer what Zirkzee would in a different role
No he wouldn’t. He’s more of a Rashford replacement. Marmoush isn’t even stylistically similar to Bruno. If you are selling Bruno you need someone like Kvaratshkelia
Mate come on. You can’t say sell Bruno and then suggest wirtz or Musiala. We aren’t getting them are we. That’s like me saying sell Ugarte and sign Camavinga
This is your worst video yet. Idek where to start. But we're not gonna challenge for a title with Rashford Martinez and Bruno. But we all have different opinions I guess. Sell Amad keep Rashford is mind boggling
No it’s not. Come on man that’s a nonsense take. Of course we can challenge with Bruno, he’s the best creator in the league. Sell Amad? What on earth are you on about 🤣🤣 that’s why you think it’s my worse video, you didn’t listen to what I said. Where did I say sell Amad and keep Rashford. You need to watch the actual video before commenting come on man. I literally said the opposite didn’t I
@@AtlantisFootball McAllister, olmo, wirtz, nkunku and xavi simons all would be upgrades on bruno. Bruno is great but he is very selfish in the final third and losses tha ball a lot. If he was the best creator in the league Hojlund wouldn't be struggling for service last season. Bruno is great but United need to bring in a player who offers more than hollywood passing and long shots.
@asrarshafi9054 the issue lies in that if you leave bruno high and tell him not to drop deep, we struggle to get him the ball cause our central progression is sub par. If you leave him deep our attackers don't create the quality of chances he does. When we had eriksen deep (bruno AM) we played better since bruno didn't have to drop deep. Bruno can start and play for any team ITW
@@asrarshafi9054 No they would not. No way Olmo and MacAlister are better than Bruno for usre. Bruno is not selfish in the final third, he clearly is the best creator or at least one of the best creators in the league, he is constantly at the top of or in the top 3/4 for XAG consistently over the last few seasons
Bastoni and Dimarco are my dream signing. I doubt Inter milan will part way with them or unless we drop 150 million plus Italian players dont like to leave Italy Also it would be dumb to sell Holjund. He has a high ceiling. I think we should loan him or let him be an understudy to Gyokeres
Yeah. There on the same level. Different types of players as well. Switch clubs and managers and have Lookman playing in the PL at United under Ten Hag and Rashford in Serie A under Gasperini and their output levels switch
Rashford even in the form of his life... still would not work in Amorims system, he doesn't look up, he doesn't pass... he looks for the goal or the spectacular cross field pass. Garnacho is young, but also doesn't look up or for the pass. Xavi simons or wirtz should be the kind of players we are looking to put in behind our no9
@ he doesn’t pass? Course he passes. Rashford 22/23 fits in perfectly. We need pace in the attack. The best we’ve looked was with Rashford in that role alongside Zirkzee. Saying Rashford doesn’t pass is just nonsense isn’t it mate
@AtlantisFootball when, where & for what team has Rashford ever put up any assist numbers? It's not just him either... we don't have any real wingers & we now don't play a system where we need any anyway
Thank you for highliting that Rashford is a quality player and that there aremt many clear availble upgrades on him in world football. I also think Hojlund has a good enough attitude to wait for his chance and grow into what we want in the shadow of a more ready made elite forward
Signing Frimpong, Wharton, Hernandez, Alvaro and Gyokeres would easily make us challenge for the title IMO especially since we finally have a good manager.
Look only way we can get frimpong is if Dalot leaves man utd Wharton?? I am just hearing his name I don't even know his position Theo hernandez will be good but I prefer kerkez or nuno mendes Alvaro will be good but ask yourself that he will only be good for squad depth Then Gyokeres will be the only a good player I will like that's all But always ask ineos that's question
Just simply bringing names in won't make us challenge for anything m8. It takes time to build chemistry & playing style ect & even if all those listed players came in... we would still need more of equal quality for rotation & injuries
Suggestions for the summer: Patrick Drogou as a wing back (he plays all over) Frimpong for experience isnt a bad idea. But i also feel Mazraoui would suit that role on the right. Mataus Cunah as a 9 & 10 If Wolves are relegated, he should be at a good price, too. Edison as CM Osimen / Gyokores - if we can afford one of them. We will be short a few CBs too. Just NOT Braithwaite at £70mil!😅 I'm also all for bringing up youth players, but would like to see a few go on loan for some experience first, maybe even in January...much like Amad did.
What do u think about replacing Rashford with Matheus Cunha?? Although I don’t think they are similar in style of play, I think Cunha suits one of those 2 number 10 positions better in the Amorim system
I've rethought out who I would sell and who I would buy: Buy: GK Manuel Riemann - Free Transfer summer - Excellent ball playing GK. Eventually have a youth keeper push for GK2 in the next 2 seasons. LWB: Alvaro Fernandez - £8.7m ( When you take away the money we sold him for) Ideal LWB in an Amorim system. Can back up and rotate with Mazraoui. CM(6): Adam Wharton - £60m - United need an air tight 4 man rotation in centre mid. Wharton and Ugarte offer exceptional depth alongside Kone long term. CM(8): Angel Gomes - Free Transfer summer - Technically excellent and would be ideal to rotate with Mainoo and he can play both CAM spots. LCAM: Xavi Simmons - £25m plus Rashford - He has the world class potential and he and Garnacho could be the future of the CAM position at United. Sell: GK: Altay Bayindir- £12m - He wants to start, sell him and let him get his start LB: Tyrell Malacia - £13m - Maybe he can turn it around at United but If we could get the price he cost us back I'd be happy CM(6): Casemiro - £10m - Saudi would take Casemiro for £10m off us. RW: Jadon Sancho - £25m - Playing well for Chelsea but Good Riddance. LW: Marcus Rashford - Part of Xavi Simons deal - PSG have eyed Rashford for years, Simons is a better fit and younger.
Idk why you’ve just chosen frimpong for RWB when he clearly prefers a left footed player. Otherwise he would be playing either of our RBs there right now.
We already have Amad. We need variety at that position. If Amad lays ahead, we have no RWB who can go down the outside. Frimpong and Amad make perfect sense together, as does Dalot and Fernandez on the other side
Every single attacker you named is better than rashford, just in the premier league there is at least 15 attackers better than rashford, rashford is a shit overrated player who's salary is 3 times more than he what he deserves
Just not true tho is it. Stop being so hyperbolic. Put any of those attackers under a horrific manager like ten Hag and watch their form tank. You need to actually be nuanced. Rashford isn’t shit. If you think he’s shit then you’re way of judging players is shit. You just don’t like Rashford. He’s not world class but he’s not shit is he. Give it a rest
Id personally sell... Rashford: Club wants to get rid and he doesn't suit the no.10 role or the striker role. Garnacho: Similar to Rashford with positions but worse decision maker than Rashford and doubt I he will improve in that area. Shaw: Injury prone, poor R.O.I Casemiro: Poor R.O.I In terms of signings... The 2 semi-realistic ones I would personally get are Alphonso Davies and Xavi Simmons. We need to sign better decision makers...
Why would you sell Rasmus Højlund? I know you talked about development, but simply, I'd rather develop him and have Viktor Gyökeres (have both cakes and eat it). Next thing you're going to say is FFP and money, but selling Rashford would give us the money for him. Then you're going to say, what about Isak? Why would you buy a striker for a winger? And lastly, Rashford doesn't fit into the squad, so why would you replace him? Just sell him, take the profit, and buy Gyökeres.
@@togunfestusshina688 no it’s not. Use your brain. It’s pretty simple. Why would we not sell him to sign a more complete CF? Why would we not and instead hope Hojlund eventually reaches Gyokeres’ level, which may take 2-4 years? It’s not bull Shit analysis, makes perfect sense.
@AtlantisFootball no it's you that needs to use your empty brain, selling Hojlund who has a better ceiling than Gyokeres then keep Zirkzee, does that makes sense? moreso Hojlund had strength and better hold up play than Gyokeres
This is so bad ngl. Rashford can easily be replaced. You need to understand current rashford (1-2 yrs) not rashford in his prime. Also we dont need a direct replacement for rashford. He literally doesnt fit the amorim system. Branthwaite is so shit on the ball too. So much wrong here
@@ABESW0RLD no it’s bad. No Rashford cannot be replaced easily. Put a lot of the suggestions to replace him in the ten Hag with this fan base and they are calling them shit. Rashford does fit the system, mate you’ve got that completely wrong. Rashford is a better version of Garnacho and we need pace in the attack. Come on mate, Branthwaite is not so shit on the ball, you’ve got to do better. Stop calling players shit. Branthwaite isn’t that great at incisive passes between the lines but ball carrying and long passing off of both feet he is pretty good. There’s a lot more wrong with your comment then any of your suggestions. Also you’ve not even criticised any of my actual suggestions so how can you say it’s bad? Who are you replacing Rashford with? If he can be replaced easily you should be able to give me someone who will cost around what we can get for him, is younger and a clear upgrade. Rashford categorically can fit the system. People just look at Amorim’s sporting and try to go profile for profile, not understanding that the biggest issue was the lack of pace from the two interior attackers, Trincao and Pote
If you think Branthwaite is shit on the ball you should also think Yoro is shit on the ball. The only difference is one plays for Man Utd and is French and the other plays for Everton and is English. Saying Branthwaite is shit on the ball is just a lazy way of judging him.
Exactly my point. There’s loads of upgrades but whenever someone mentions an example they clearly aren’t upgrades, aren’t worth signing for their price or age, or just don’t fit the system. They let the hate of Rashford runaway to the point where they just jump on the next player they’ve seen hyped up
@AtlantisFootball If you want to understand why Branthwaite is mid, another youtube actually does some great analysis on him. Also the eye test can show you how bad he is on the ball th-cam.com/video/RSseJ45WVLQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Lf7T9QntkIXgIuSB Rashford doesn't fit the system. Amorim also hinted at Rashford not being a fit. He tried him as a striker and amorim said that's not the best for him, he then tried him at lam etc and hes not those type of player, hes a winger. "We'll try to find the right solution for him but he has to be Marcus, first of all, to try to return to that moment,". The fact that amorim said this is because rashford doesnt directly fit his system. He's shoe horning rashford to ram/lam, theres a reason rashford is on the transfer list and its not only his wages. Man Utd can replace rashford with different type of forwards. Dreams for those positions would be your Gulers, Kvaratskelia, Wirtz More realistic: Rony Bardghji, Yildiz, M.Soule, T.George, A.Nusa, Arijon Ibrahimovic, Noah Darvich, Dibling, Esse, Hutchinson, Mastanuano, Rodrigo Mora More unnattainable talents that would fit perfectly: Moore, Nwaneri, Dowman, O.Bobb, Wanner, Irankunda, Leannart Karl, Hugo Felix, Rashford type players: there's not many but I don't think we should look at rashford type players anyway: Semenyo, Greenwood (buyback), Talents: Enzo Molebe, T.George Other realitic to scout that fit LAM/RAM better: Cherki, J.Pedro, Kudus, Romain Esse, Mikautadze, Kubo Some ideas LWB: Robinson/ Fatawu, Semenyo (as wingers in amorim wing back)/ CB: Bastoni/ Acheampong/ Andrea Natali/ Gasiorowski RWB: Esse MF: Bouaddi/ Ouedraogo/ Jobe/ Nypan LAM: Bardghji/ T.George/ Rodrigo Mora RAM: Hutchinson/ Arijon Ibrahimovic/ Dibling/ Noah Darvich Academy to promote/ for future that fit amorim: GK: Vitek (Bayindir)/ Harrison LCB: Kukonki CCB: Armer RCB: Munro LWB: D.Leon/ Amass/ E.Williams or Missin (msybe) MF: S.Kone/ Fitzgerald/ Twaites/ RWB: Mantato/ Kamason/ Missin (Maybe) LAM: Ibragimov/ Scanlon/ Biancheri ST: Obi RAM: Lacey/ J.Fletcher I dont rate mount. English options if Mount keeps getting injured: Hutchinson, J.McAtee, Gibbs-White, M.Rogers (though his end product isn’t there).
@ Branthwaite is just as good as Yoro on the ball. You’re only factoring in a few aspects of his possession play which is his incisive passing and receiving the ball under pressure. He is a better long passer and ball carrying than Yoro. By you’re logic Yoro is also shit on the ball. You’re holding other players to higher standards than Man Utd players that’s the issue. Branthwaite is categorically not shit on the ball. Anyone who tells you that is just wrong
I also think Rashford and Zirk feet very well stylistically together. However, Rashfords substandard pressing ability and willingness is a big problem.
I think I would and United too would also look to sell Rashford and bring in a replacement into the system rather than a like for like Rashford replacement, eg a Wirtz or a Musiala players who are more pure 10's who can play wide or in the half space rather than a wide attacker like Rashford, players who are good against low blocks or in tight spaces.
Lookman or Eze or Kudus as one of the tens would be a masterstroke I would look to see Ederson or Joao Gomes as a long term partner for Ugarte as for LWB Aitnori, Antonee Robinson or Davies are options Osimhen or Gyokeres both cost around 60-70m But over all very unrealistic unless untied can sell Rashford , Casemiro, Antony and have Maguire, Evans , Eriksen and a few others go for free in the summer
Nah Lookman and Eze aren’t good enough as upgrades. Give it a year and people will be calling them shit as well. I think Wharton is a far more complete player than Ederson or Joao Gomes, I don’t think they even displace Ugarte for most games alongside Mainoo
Who are the actual upgrades on Rashford, Ugarte, De Ligt, and Bruno(not necessarily attainable, only pure ability wise)? And maybe the ones who have the potential to possibly reach their levels in the future?
ik it's not the same type of profile, but my ideal rashford replacement is Alex Baena. more similar to the Bruno archetype than he ever would to rashford. but he's a special player: ambipedal monster, creativity, ball-carrying, press-resistance, set piece delivery & technique. been underpeforming his npxG by a small margin up until this season which highlights sustainability in his game. if we get him, we solve our creativity problem in the squad and could potentially maximize rasmus' output. then sign a rashford-esque player (Inside forward) that gives you the opportunity to have an outlet in certain games or exploit opposition weaknesses tactically
Atleast 1 well rounded physical presence in the centeral midfield, 2 centerbacks as starters or cover and an elite attacker are needed... And also Amorim wants wrong footed wide players so 2 players at least one at their prime are needed.. All these are possible at a budget of 100m plus sales. But all singings should have balance between Experience and wage// Potential and Price...
Almost all incomming players would expect massive contracts no? Isn't it more likely Ineos want to build a more sustainable way of handing out contracts. So more possible stars than just players at the peak of their powers.
Maybe he will be but it’s not crazy. You are factoring out that Rashford is playing at Man Utd under ten Hag in PL for the past year and a half and Lookman is in serie a with Gasperini. Put Lookman under ten Hag in the PL and Rashford under Gasperini in Serie A and there’s absolutely no doubt in my mind that people are calling Lookman Shit like they did with Sancho and saying Rashford is as good as Lookman. You have to factor in that this Man Utd squad was playing in a horrific system. Just look at Sancho. Was shit at United apparently but now, instantly in a different system he looks better
Mate Eze and David are not at the level we need. That isn’t really improving our attack. Neither are elite and Eze isn’t exactly young anymore and would cost a significant amount. If we are signing a striker it needs to be someone at Gyokeres’ level otherwise we might as well stick with Hojlund and Zirkzee
Alphonso Davies should be our first choice LWB option in the summer and Alvaro in January is a perfect gamble. Isak would be perfect but that'd be one hell of a negotiation. We literally fought over Ashworth last season. Gyokeres can be added to the squad alongside Hojlund and Zirkzee, we need all the depth we can get. My first choice CM is Joao Neves but that's quite unrealistic right now. Reijnders and Ederson are perfect replacements for Eriksen and Casemiro respectively. We shouldn't attach so much attention to Wharton, he lacks the intensity that we need now but definitely one for the future. Jobe Bellingham is very much available as a wildcard signing. Selling Rashford would be wise but Florian Wirtz should be the break-the-bank signing that replaces him, Bruno is 30 and might need his replacement ready. Bruno can't and won't be sold. ❤
Why would teams pay so much for hojlund? when in form , more proven , aesthetically pleasing (style wise) strikers are on the market ? Not hating just asking 😅
Because he now is PL proven to a degree, still has huge potential and still in his early 20s. Also other players on the market around his age will cost around the same (such as Sesko who would cost more)
@AtlantisFootball not sure a club will buy him given his injury worries and salary. We are stuck with him just like martial. He will leave once his contract expires.
I don’t agree with putting dalot at rcb he’s terrible defensively but with more time could be a better attacking rwb option. I also don’t agree with the hojlund take I think if anything sell zirkzee or rashford n bring in gyokerez so hojlund can learn off him n be a beast in the future. I also believe that even if we don’t sell Martinez we should still be bringing in at least one lcb and Wharton is gonna cost far too much man not a realistic signing for me even tho id love him to play for us.
He’s not terrible defensively tho. This just a myth. His weakness is one vs ones not positional defending. There’s a difference between being terrible defensively and making the odd mistake. This fanbase is so hyperbolic lol
Maybe with Wharton but it’s not about the cost of individual signings, it’s about the total net spend. So as long as it’s in the £100m-£120m range and we aren’t paying over £65m up front for him I think he’s gonna be the best option
@@AtlantisFootball Tbf I shouldn’t of used the word terrible to describe him, heat of the moment thing lol, however I still don’t think defensively- wether it’s positional, 1v1, tracking back etc he’s not really all that when it comes to those things I just think that because dalot is good offensively he’d be wasted in the rcb role. I understand that this video is your opinion and player YOU would like n I respect that and £65 for Wharton would be great however do you really think thts what he’s gonna go for? Absolutely not, we’d get fleeced. And in my opinion isak wouldn’t even want to look utds direction nvm actually come to us we just have to start realising that’s the club we are (at this moment in time)
No way, Mainoo and Wharton is a fantastic midfield. One of the best in the league. Ugarte and Casemiro is a terrible CM long term. Both have the same weaknesses
@ and yet both have been poor this season, btw I’m not saying Casemiro is the solution but starting two 20 year olds who are out of form and don’t have much compatibility in the most important position on the pitch won’t have us challenging for the league, this isn’t fifa it doesn’t happen.If you break down their player profiles currently it’s debatable if either would start in any top team in Europe with some of the limitations they have Wharton(athleticism) Mainoo(athleticism, Passing ability). For me it’s obvious as a pair that would not bode well and with the clear lack of athleticism already in the side it’s impossible to seriously argue pairing two players lacking athleticism would show differing results to what we’ve seen already when someone is partnering Eriksen for example who is proven technically to a higher quality then Wharton and Mainoo. If I was in charge, I’d be trying to sign Reijnders or something with a player profile equivalent and someone like Baleba. Reijnders is effective in build up, defensively, more athletic and beats Mainoo in pretty much every technical aspect of the game, also he’s prime age and still has another at minimum 5 years of quality in him. Baleba defensively is a juggernaut and would offer the type of competition necessary for Ugarte whilst adding significantly more athleticism to a midfield that’s in dire need of it. If Mainoo improves enough then he should start, we shouldn’t just guarantee a player a starting berth because he’s good at a young age it should be earned through consistency and merit Wharton looks a good player but we can do better for sure imo.
Who have been poor this season? Mainoo and Wharton haven’t been poor. Come on mate, Mainoo and Wharton is far better than Casemiro and Ugarte. Ugarte and Casemiro lacks ball progression, press resistance and creativity.
Mainoo has been poor this season I’ve only watched four palace games this season so perhaps I’m being a bit too anecdotal but Wharton was anonymous in all four games. Mainoo doesn’t really progress play Casemiro tries but can’t I don’t think either would start for any top team in Europe or the prem, I was just pointing out Casemiro and Ugarte have played better then Mainoo this season and you’d have to be extremely biased to say otherwise. My main point remains, Wharton and Mainoo as a pair don’t challenge for league titles especially right now, if we want to challenge for top 4 we need two midfielders I’d go for Reijnders and Baleba as they are athletic enough, defensively sound and Reijnders is better in every technical category then Mainoo as an 8, ugarte can challenge Baleba and whoever comes out on top betters the side. Mainoo is in the bottom 26% for passes per game for midfielders in Europes top 5 leagues and bottom 16% for progressive passes and is only in the top 58% for progressive carries it’s delusional to think he should be the focal point of the team at 19 with those stats as a midfielder, should not be a starter yet alone be partnered by Wharton who’s also not athletic and couldn’t cover his weaknesses. This isn’t to say there’s no talent in Mainoo and Wharton just they aren’t at the level people are hyping them up to be and as any United fan should know atp growth isn’t linear, young players don’t just keep improving we’ve had countless bigger talents then both Wharton and Mainoo stagnate and regress after we pinned all our hopes on them.(martial was literally a golden boy winner, Rashford, Tuanzebe, Januzaj, Greenwood, Lingard, Pogba the list goes on and on)
You’ve got some wild opinions but Itd be fun to see Hojlund at Leipzig even though I don’t want him to go. Why do you think Wharton will be the best option for 10 years? I like yournl ideas in the first half of the video, nice efficiency
i’ll sell anyone of these players if their replacement are upgrade. we need great characters, skillful, physical, technical, forward thinking players with great work ethic, ability, and attitude
Yes he is. He’s playing in Serie A for a gasperini side. He’s the same age as well. Completely nonsensical signing. Put Lookman at Man Utd and you lot would be saying he is shit as well
Tbf wingers can play in those wider positions. People seem to think they need to be number 10s but that’s not really true. You can use different types of players there depending on who is alongside them in the system
There's no world in which United should be keeping Rashford beyond next summer. And as for blaming Ten Hag for his form, he had exactly the same performance last season as he did the season before ETH arrived, he's never going to be consistent and at 27 it's not worth waiting to see him develop.
My dear friends from Man united, the worst mistake right now is to sell and entire team to buy a new team, you need to keep your best players. Change a whole team its like restarting again and will only worst everything, the players must know each other for a certain time and used to play together for a given time to benefit the team, and the team to start to get results.
@@rodrigomachado900 yep completely agree they’ve given Amorim 5 matches in which we looked far better than we did under ten Hag in the last 18 months. They just love scapegoats when in reality a lot of them are to blame for wanting to keep ten Hag. But they’ll never admit that and so the players have to take more blame to deflect from how bad ten Hag was
@@AtlantisFootball, i think the main problem its not the players, look how sancho looks like a diferent player in Chelsea. It seems that the players in the man united dont evolve its strange... Amorim did a great job in Sporting without tons of money, i think that if im rigth you will se players figth more for each game like it was a final, and you will see players that you think that are bellow average players became good team players. Bruno its a excelent player i dont understand why so many people would sell Bruno, the best players are the ones that allready are in your team, not he ones that you would liked to have in the team
No I’m not. How is that unserious? Keeping Hojlund and hoping he gets to Gyokeres’ level rather than just getting Gyokeres for £10m more is unserious. We aren’t keeping players just because the fan base likes them
Still owe €40m on Antony at the end of the year. Selling for 25 means the difference needs to come straight out of PSR. Casemiro similar but €15m. Selling players before their incoming transfer fee has been fully amortised puts you in a hole.
I would sell / let go of - Antony, Zirkzee, Shaw, Erikson, Casemiro, Rashford Probably get around - 105 mil for these players Rashford - 45 mil Zirkzee - 30 mil Antony - 20 mil Shaw - 10 mil I would buy - vitinha, Alphonso Davies, nkunku, osimhen, bremer These players would probably cost around - 220 mil Vitinha - 60 mil Osimhen - 60 mil Nkunku - 50 mil Bremer - 50 mil Alphonso Davies - free transfer Net transfer fee of around 115 million I know gyökeres is a better player than ohismen at everything… but I don’t think he’ll want to come to united he’s the best striker in the world this season and I’m sure many clubs doing better than us will offer him similar deals. Also that way we can keep hojlund and he will become our gyökeres in a couple seasons, and in the meantime we have a consistent goal scorer in osimhen
@atlantisfootball do you think macaroni can do a temporary job In the 8 or nah if needed also don’t mind guys saying to keep hojlund over zirkzee in this scenario a lot of fans at times have slight player bias and illogical takes even myself but some of us try to stay unbiased as much as possible
Great Analysis! Theo and Frimpong would be great additions.But wouldn’t it be difficult to continue with both Licha and Mazroui as two CBs as every team is exposing us aerially.I think Yoro would be good option as RCB but I feel instead of going RWB as we have Dalot/Mazroui/Amad for next season(I know we are not sure if Mazroui can give us the energy).I feel we need to go for a left footed CB back up, as Yoro De Ligt can play in middle or at right side. Wharton is great talent but given his young age and the United pressure, wouldn’t it be better to go for alternate option as he is still raw(I dont know better alternatives as I am still thinking of some😅). Gykores would be great option up front, Isak is great option too but seems he is a bit injury prone.What about Brahim Diaz/Mbeumo to replace Antony(Both are chance creators)!Let me know your thoughts.
@ And for Rashford replacement I think we should have gone for Mathys Tel last window before he extended his contract.Could have smoothly integrated him to the team😕
Why don't we sell Garnacho - over the last 15 months he has been very bad. Doesn't pass, always looks to take the shot when his teammates are in better position, overplaying which resulted in lot of good situations going to waste. Looks tactically lost in Amorim's 3-4-3 system. Constant stupidity in social media. Our obsession with these over hyped academy products is spoiling the club.
Man utd need to sell everyone at this point. Not one of the current players deserves to wear the jersey. Get rid of them all and start over from scratch.
I love the transfer suggestions you've made and the youth promotion you've suggested except Dan Gore he needs a good loan and selling after don't think he is united level and Casemiro I think we can't afford termination 10M from saudi like Telles sale is reasonable...Where you've lost me and must be a joke is to challenge for the league with Rashford,Bruno,Garnacho and Hoijlund ...they are technically bad with bad decision making... Don't let me start on Rashfords long lists of negatives...Also I'd say Rashford we can get 30-50M depending on the buying club willingness to pay his wages...and Lookman is better than Rashford statistically and by eye test in last season and this season...We aren't getting 60M for Rasmus maybe 40M plus addons taking it to 50-M...and whats with the obsession of challenging next season with you Arsenal took 3.5 years roughly to challenge liverpool 2.5 seasons wee need atleast a similar time frame to challenge as we have a bigger mess to fix... (Rashford Bruno Garna Hoijlund need selling like Chelsea did 2 seasons ago selling those big players to fund a new project)anyway lovely video as always keep them coming..(all the figures am talking about are in pounds)
I’ll sign Theo, gyokeres, kudus, frimpong, alvaro f, wharton and sell Rashy, Garna, zirkzee, Malacia ,case, Evans and Eriksen leave on free. That’s my squad for 2025/26. Its more than enough for top 4
I agree with a lot of things you say but saying Lookman with the past 18 months he's had carrying Atlanta and Nigeria is not better than Rashford is CRIMINAL🤬
No it’s not. Lookman has been playing under Gasperini in Serie A. Rashford under Ten Hag in the PL. switch the teams and managers and people are calling Lookman Shit just like they did with Sancho. It’s not criminal, it’s just factoring in each players playing environments.
It not just about Gasperini he has also been carrying a dysfunctional Nigeria side, took them to the AFCON final with all the big name Nigerian internationals all underperformaning. His qualities both on and off the ball has been elite with the stelar performance against Madrid being the latest. Swap sides and Lookman will still give you that quality maybe not at the current level(due to EtH setup) but at a high level and also a better defensive workrate. He's everything you want in a modern day inside forward
But you’d say the same thing about Rashford in 22/23 which was the last season where he was actually in a semi competent tactical set up. Every season where we’ve had a competent tactical set up and not mid table dross he has performed. He’s just overhated because the fan base still can’t cope with how bad ten Hag was
@@AtlantisFootball But it's not just about quality and tactical setup though, it's the desire to take matters into your hands and win games for your team both in and out of possession which in the 2 years I fear Rashford has lost that fire at least at united anyways, he doesn't press effectively and shys away from physical duels and this is an issue he's had his whole career. I love Rashford and I still think of he goes to another country with a lesser intensity he can still thrive but his time at united I fear is over. He needs a reset and us as well and selling him will bring pure profit that will help with ffp
Bruno has been in that same bad setup and it clearly took a toll on his output and performance but you can't say Bruno wasn't trying his absolute best to make sure we win matches, even last season that was our worst season post Fergie he single handedly carried us in many matches, Rashy doesn't play like he cares if we win or lose and poor setup shouldn't be an excuse for not giving a 100%. This is Manchester united and our character was always our best attribute that is why we were able to win titles with arguably inferior squads to our competitors in SAF era we always wanted it more than our opponents
rashford +30M for isak are you on drugs? genuinly im thinking about reporting you how dare you value isak at ~80M we bought him for 70M and hes one of the best players, nevermind strikers in the world
What are you talking about I literally said £40m. Yeah you’re selling him for £90m. That’s a £20m profit. You ain’t getting much more than that considering you have to sell due to FFP and Isak probably wants to move to a big club
I apologize for my earlier comment, n took it off, but I have these words for u... Hojlund Hojlund Hojlund, the lad is really good, we just hv to operate better around him.
What is this guy's obsession with Dalot? Mate just accept the fact his not good enough for the club and it's better if we offloaded him in the summer while we can get the highest return.
Obsession? Of course Dalot is good enough. You clearly watching our games. Just running with narratives. Dalot is good enough, he was one our best players last season 🤣 he’s just a scapegoat. Watch him during matches. There’s no way you can watch him and think he’s the issue. He’s just not.
@@Doctor_Kroom i mean there not really number 10s. Number 10s are holding central positions whereas we want our players in those positions to drift wide as well. Mainoo doesn’t have the pace or the attacking output to play that role. He’s far better in the double pivot.
Onana is not enough if you want to win the league. There is a reason Inter sold him after 1 year. Inter classified 3rd in 22/23 with the 7th best defence of the league. Believe majority of Utd fans are blind about him.
Mate this just nonsense. He is good enough. He’s been the best keeper in the league this season along with Raya. That’s nonsense again. Inter sold him because Man Utd wanted him. He was incredible for them. I’m sorry but you’re just wrong, you aren’t judging keepers correctly. You’re just going off the odd clips. His PSxG-GA from this season, last season and his last season at Inter prove that he’s a top keeper when it comes to shot stopping and that’s not even factoring in his cross claiming or ball playing ability.
@AtlantisFootball Of course there are valid points for both views, it's simply my opinion. I much prefer a Courtois or a Buffon style of keeper. Lunin is a good midpoint. It would give me less heart attacks during set pieces. 😅
I mean it is your opinion but the part about Onana at inter isn’t true tho is it. Also we need a ball playing keeper at the top level, so you’re not factoring that in.
We have tried for many many years signing proven players very expensively and didn’t work. So, why not sign very cheap players and you never know they might turn to saviours
Proven players is not a problem at all but the cost and the wages they get are the problem. So as long as we get the balance of cost and Experience we'll be fine...
Never getting 50/60m for Hoijlund & never getting 50m for Rashford. We've been dreadful at selling players for years & We've been equally bad at giving said players ridiculous wages. I do like some of your suggestions for transfers but your valuations ect is fanciful
They aren’t. We ain’t getting that for Rashford now because we’ve already told everyone he’s leaving. We’d defo get £50m for Hojlund absolutely no doubt. Any less than that is fanciful.
Right but we aren’t talking about Ineos we are talking about what I would do. Any competent negotiating team should be able to get £100m for Hojlund and Rashford
@AtlantisFootball I didn't say Ineos. And I'm sorry but you're not a magican, you are not tricking anybody in world in football into giving you those fees for those players. Like them or not... neither have done anything to warrant those figures, it's only us lot that love slapping silly money out for negligible performing players
You don’t need to be a magician. Literally every other club seems to be able to get value for money. £50m for Hojlund is perfectly attainable even for Man Utd
Both have absolutely performed to warrant those figures. Rashford under usual circumstances 100% is between £45m-£50m and Hojlund even now is at least £50m-£60m no question
@AtlantisFootball That is just arrogance we can't do that we need a chelsea 600million summer and an year for the time to jell so it would take at least 2 years to consider challenging...where have you seen in epl a team fall off such as us and challenge for the league after 6 months? Be realistic or are you saying that just to get more engagement I just don't see your logic and reality in challenging
@ no it’s no arrogance. That’s just a lack of ambition from you. No one said do what Chelsea have done, but Chelsea have shown that their transfer strategy works better than ours
@@AtlantisFootball So having a plan that takes longer is lacking ambition?Really? Even if you were given the club to run tomorrow making few signings won't make us challengers thats my point the team needs a culture of winning which most of the times takes a while to cultivate a season or two that is at least...
Man United needs to start planning the future from the next transfer window, I like some of the players you mentioned (Warthon and Frimpong) but I'm not sure those should be the next moves for now. It looks like INEOS will be ruthless and Amorim has now given them the axing list so I'd say there will be more players leaving than arriving. For the signings I'd like to see United sign 3 players and return one: Kerkez - LWB, Ederson - CM, Victor Oshimen - PL and Jadon Sancho. Kerkez I believe will be better than Theo and Davies in 2 years, he's only 21 so you would have a player for 10 years and with higher ceiling. Ederson would be the midfield commander Amorim needs, 25 years old, reaching his prime and someone for 5/6 years. Oshimen is the best market opportunity, 25 years old, lost at Galatasaray the asking price is low (I heard is around £60M) and would fit like gloves in Amorim's system. The return of Sancho would be ideal, he's a top player better than all the current attacking options and fits Amorim style, his showing at Chelsea (showed at Dortmund last season) that he was not being well utilised in Manchester. In summer I'd continue the rebuild with: CB - Branthwaite and Taylor Harwood-Bellis(if Maguire leaves) CM - Zubimendi or Tonali LW - Nico Williams RW: Bakayoko Its impossible to throw 12 players out and bring 12 in, so I'd say this 3 or 4 key players per window would be the ideal approach.
We don’t. We need to sign players who are ready now. People want to sign young players and then complain when the squad isn’t at its potentially immediately. The CM’s lack athleticism and I don’t think Nico Williams is good enough in the front 3, his offensive output isn’t great compared with other options
@@AtlantisFootball I don't disagree with getting players who are ready now but you can have the best of both worlds, get players who are ready and are relatively young. Also getting younger players means better sustainability (lower wages), players above the age of 27 with super high wages should not be the way to go in my opinion (you don't see any top team doing this these days anymore) On Nico Williams, I don't have any stats to back this suggestion only performances I often see from him but I'll ask you two questions: 1. Who would you buy if not him ? 2. If Nico had the perfect offensive output (I assume you're focusing on goals and assists) wouldn't he be a unrealistic target for the actual level of Man. United( in theory a top club but not a top team?) ?
@Marcus-h5y8y Thanks for letting me know. I knew there was an obligation to buy but wasn't sure about the condition( Chelsea will kely finish at top3 )
While I would love to sign Theo Hernandez, Jeremie Frimpong, Alvaro Fernandez, Adam Wharton, Victor Gyökeres and Alexander Isak, I can see maybe one or two of them signings happening. Theo Hernandez - Ideally yes but without Champions League football, I just can't see it. Jeremie Frimpong - I don't think the need is as essential seeing as both Amad and Antony have actually been surprisingly good from the position Alvaro Fernandez- I think I'd take him over Hernandez for his cheapness. I think United know they aren't getting value for money for selling Shaw so they use him as a back up. Adam Wharton- Ideally yes, but I think a cheaper alternative is out there. Gomes on a free to back up Mainoo and Amadou Haidara to back up Ugarte for 25m Victor Gyökeres - Ideally yes but not at the expense of Hojlund. I think a more realistic signing is a different Victor. Victor Osimhen can be got. Throw in Zirkzee and £35m and you can get him. Alexander Isak - There is no way Newcastle do business with us after Ashworth. I would sell Rashford and I'd sign a young up and coming LCAM and let Garnacho work through his issues and use the Rashford money elsewhere going forward.
Newcastle will defo do business with us if the money is right. They are going to have to sell Isak at some point, especially if he wants a move as his contract only runs to 2028 so come summer 2026 will be his peak value anyway which is only 1 summer away
@@AtlantisFootball In all honesty I'd rather stick with what we have. Yes I want United to win the league ASAP but I also want to self promote from within the academy. I'd feel comfortable with Rasmus, Zirkzee and Obi- Martin.
Yes 😭😭 what are you talking about. Adam Wharton would be a fantastic signing. Come on man this is a horrific take. Just watch him play instead of judging him because he’s English.
I’m not waffling am I. Who are the more impressive players than. Name them? Why are you saying I’m waffling when I’m clearly better at analysing than you and you aren’t even suggesting anyone. See how you’re the one waffling? Go on suggest someone. And preferably someone you’ve actually watched not just a random name you’ve heard us linked with.
U defend a back 3 system but it has been shown it is easily found out but also u cannot be defensive at man utd all the time. I instead hope amorim changes from the back 5 to a back 4. I hope he has the ability to the innovative tactically but also very flexible tactically
No it hasn’t at all. This is just not true. The back 5 system is a more stable system than a back 4. The system hasn’t been found out. We were found out more with ten hag’s back 4 than Amorim’s back 5. The back 4 would make us worse because you have less cover behind the midfield line.
@AtlantisFootball the back 4 can be made solid in defence but very potent in attack. But also pep has and naiglesman have shown us it is easily tweakable to get advantages.
That’s nothing to do with the system. You’re just putting 2 and 2 together and getting 5. The back 5 system looks better defensively than the back 4 system under ten Hag. It’s nothing to do with a back 4 or back 5 but how the system is set up as a whole. Either system can work
A back 5 naturally is more solid tho, hence why it’s a better system for teams that aren’t as well organised like international teams or managers who take over mid season.
Personally I’m going for baleba or gedson fernandes (benfica) over adam wharton let Mainoo be the dictator and have a high energy destroyer next to him
@@AtlantisFootball The little beat of the video while you’re talking makes everything you say sound epic and have a flow you are very good at editing man.
Great video Atlantis! The videos are getting only getting better. You are a great voice of reason in our community in what is otherwise emotional rage filled youtubers. Wanted to pick your mind on aquisition of Alphonso Davies on free over Theo Harnandez and Son on free for 2 years by selling Rashford over Isak to get Garnacho developed for the role in the meantime.
@@AtlantisFootball Which would make the transfer fees plus wages equal over 4 years right? On sheer quality who do you think will do better at United in LWB position? Also do you think Son can play as a number 10 if we bring him by selling Rashford?
His salary package over the course of those years would take the total cost higher than Theo’s transfer fee most likely because we have to pay him substantially more because he’s a free agent.
When you play too much FIFA and football manager from a young age, this is the type of football knowlege and opinion that develops! You make some good points and have me nodding in agreement and then you mention Wharton, call Dalot " swiss army knife through the midfied"etc and I come to my senses! One thing I have noticed about you is you should be an agent bcos once you have a player in your Player F.C team,you really go all out! Have you watched Wharton this season at Palace?Do you know he is now on the bench because he has been so bad?Hughes looks like Xavi compared to him!Wharton is a purple patch player,just like Gyokeres Rashford and Isak! Isak is injury prone and is playing for his next big contract and these are his best numbers ever in his career riddled with injuries!Gyokeres is in form now but at Sporting under the new manager he looked like a shadow!Wharton is another British hype job that will be lucky to have half the career of Wilshire! If he is struggling at Palace in a team thatt only lost Olise,he will be swallowed up in a top 8 club! There are Intangibles you can't relate to or understand about recruitment! Personally I would add Osimhen to Zirkzee and Rasmus as he is a striker those kids can respect and learn from as a leader!Isak has no personality and is not a leader who would be swLlowed up at United! Cunha has grit and has been educated in football in Germany and Spain and has matured like fine wine now and is now doing what he has been doing all his career in purple patches but now in longer periods showing consistency!
Manchester United should buy frenkie de jong and Alessandro Bastoni if not get frenkie should think Maxence Caqueret Lyon on loan deal this January try it out
We defo need an upgrade on licha, I don’t understand how this guy gets away with subpar performances.the lack of athleticism in the cbs is worrying. Left sided 10 is definitely needed, far more important than rwb
What other options do we have at LCB? Shaw? Lindelof? Evans? Licha was bought to play in a back 4 which suits him better imo alongside a tall CB ideally with pace and ideally a fullback with height that's good in the air. Licha unfortunately has become injury prone and it's clearly showing as he seems to have lost a yard of pace and he had no pace to begin with 😂 It's a shame because mentality wise he's United level and genuinely seems honoured to wear the jersey, he gets it. Technically on the ball he's top level and on form his passing out from the back is good, he can thread the ball through the lines. A player his size has to be committed in the tackle to compensate for his deficiencies which is a lack of pace and height. This committed approach has possibly contributed to him becoming injury prone which is a shame and not really his fault. He looks like he's bulked up a lot recently but he looks even slower as a result, personally I think he's finished long term and Amorim is only using him as he's still probably the best option right now even though he appears out of form and slightly lacking confidence. If Licha had the body and size of say a Branthwaite and stayed fit he'd be an absolute monster and probably one of the best defenders in world football. A new LCB, I'm sure is a top priority for Amorim, but for now we have to live with Licha.
@@genghiskhanjunior9581 yeah if Shaw could stay fit would be a brilliant option, I agree with everything you said about licha minus the top-level passing, for me this season its been a bit hit-and-miss for me, it used to be top-class
How on earth would you sell hojlund and keep zirkzee it doesn't even make sense cuz for me hojlund would be a good second option upfront for gyokeres if needed
It makes perfect sense. You aren’t looking at stylistics. Hojlund doesn’t bring anything that Gyokeres doesn’t and we aren’t keeping a £60m asset on the bench. Why would you keep Hojlund over Zirkzee, when Zirkzee offers something different to Gyokeres and can play a completely different role as a CF. Hojlund would literally just be a back up to Gyokeres which is just a waste when we can recoup the Gyokeres fee by selling him.
We would have Isak there as well. If you have Isak and Gyokeres, Zirkzee is a far better option to have in the squad than Hojlund
@AtlantisFootball how, how sure are you united are going to sign or would be interested in isak and who knows if Newcastle would be willing to sell him, united better not sell hojlund cuz what if gyokeres gets injured who is going to fill in that position cuz zirkzee can't.
“How are you sure Man Utd are going to sign Isak” ?? You realise this isn’t a prediction video for who we are going to sign right? It’s who I would sign
What if Hojlund gets injured? That’s the same thing. What if Gyokeres doesn’t get injured and we have Hojlund sitting on the bench who doesn’t offer what Zirkzee would in a different role
I’ve been saying for a few years now: sell Rashford and Bruno to fund the revolution.
No he wouldn’t. He’s more of a Rashford replacement. Marmoush isn’t even stylistically similar to Bruno. If you are selling Bruno you need someone like Kvaratshkelia
@@AtlantisFootballif we sell Bruno, a Musiala or a Wirtz
Mate come on. You can’t say sell Bruno and then suggest wirtz or Musiala. We aren’t getting them are we. That’s like me saying sell Ugarte and sign Camavinga

@@AtlantisFootballI think Bruno Kvara and Gyokeres will be a title winning front 3
This is your worst video yet. Idek where to start. But we're not gonna challenge for a title with Rashford Martinez and Bruno. But we all have different opinions I guess. Sell Amad keep Rashford is mind boggling
No it’s not. Come on man that’s a nonsense take. Of course we can challenge with Bruno, he’s the best creator in the league.
Sell Amad? What on earth are you on about 🤣🤣 that’s why you think it’s my worse video, you didn’t listen to what I said. Where did I say sell Amad and keep Rashford. You need to watch the actual video before commenting come on man. I literally said the opposite didn’t I
Yes you 100% can. He’s the best creator in the league. Who is an improvement?
@@AtlantisFootball McAllister, olmo, wirtz, nkunku and xavi simons all would be upgrades on bruno. Bruno is great but he is very selfish in the final third and losses tha ball a lot. If he was the best creator in the league Hojlund wouldn't be struggling for service last season. Bruno is great but United need to bring in a player who offers more than hollywood passing and long shots.
@asrarshafi9054 the issue lies in that if you leave bruno high and tell him not to drop deep, we struggle to get him the ball cause our central progression is sub par. If you leave him deep our attackers don't create the quality of chances he does. When we had eriksen deep (bruno AM) we played better since bruno didn't have to drop deep. Bruno can start and play for any team ITW
@@asrarshafi9054 No they would not. No way Olmo and MacAlister are better than Bruno for usre. Bruno is not selfish in the final third, he clearly is the best creator or at least one of the best creators in the league, he is constantly at the top of or in the top 3/4 for XAG consistently over the last few seasons
Bastoni and Dimarco are my dream signing. I doubt Inter milan will part way with them or unless we drop 150 million plus Italian players dont like to leave Italy
Also it would be dumb to sell Holjund. He has a high ceiling. I think we should loan him or let him be an understudy to Gyokeres
Don't kill me for this but kudus and Wirtz are definite upgrade on rashy and bruno
Yeah obviously but we aren’t getting Wirtz
@AtlantisFootball yes we ain't, and once we show interest in kudus.... they'd slap £100m on his head 🤣
@@Offkey-Adams😂🤣🤣 true
Musiala better than writz
we had the opportunity to get kudus but ten hag decided to go for antony instead
Wow. Atlantis. Unrealistic analysis.

@@saivenkatn4335 from all the players we are getting rid of? Casemiro, Rashford and Eriksen is about £40m combined
Did I just hear you say Ademola Lookman is not an upgrade on Rashford?
Are we talking about the same Rashford of the last 2 seasons?
Yeah. There on the same level. Different types of players as well. Switch clubs and managers and have Lookman playing in the PL at United under Ten Hag and Rashford in Serie A under Gasperini and their output levels switch
Rashford even in the form of his life... still would not work in Amorims system, he doesn't look up, he doesn't pass... he looks for the goal or the spectacular cross field pass. Garnacho is young, but also doesn't look up or for the pass. Xavi simons or wirtz should be the kind of players we are looking to put in behind our no9
@ he doesn’t pass? Course he passes. Rashford 22/23 fits in perfectly. We need pace in the attack. The best we’ve looked was with Rashford in that role alongside Zirkzee.
Saying Rashford doesn’t pass is just nonsense isn’t it mate
@AtlantisFootball when, where & for what team has Rashford ever put up any assist numbers? It's not just him either... we don't have any real wingers & we now don't play a system where we need any anyway
Thank you for highliting that Rashford is a quality player and that there aremt many clear availble upgrades on him in world football. I also think Hojlund has a good enough attitude to wait for his chance and grow into what we want in the shadow of a more ready made elite forward
If we somehow sign Frimpong and Hernandez for under £80m I will genuinely cry. I've suffered for a decade. These are deals i could only dream about.
Signing Frimpong, Wharton, Hernandez, Alvaro and Gyokeres would easily make us challenge for the title IMO especially since we finally have a good manager.
Look only way we can get frimpong is if Dalot leaves man utd
Wharton?? I am just hearing his name I don't even know his position
Theo hernandez will be good but I prefer kerkez or nuno mendes
Alvaro will be good but ask yourself that he will only be good for squad depth
Then Gyokeres will be the only a good player I will like that's all
But always ask ineos that's question
Just simply bringing names in won't make us challenge for anything m8. It takes time to build chemistry & playing style ect & even if all those listed players came in... we would still need more of equal quality for rotation & injuries
Suggestions for the summer:
Patrick Drogou as a wing back (he plays all over) Frimpong for experience isnt a bad idea. But i also feel Mazraoui would suit that role on the right.
Mataus Cunah as a 9 & 10
If Wolves are relegated, he should be at a good price, too.
Edison as CM
Osimen / Gyokores - if we can afford one of them.
We will be short a few CBs too.
Just NOT Braithwaite at £70mil!😅
I'm also all for bringing up youth players, but would like to see a few go on loan for some experience first, maybe even in January...much like Amad did.
What do u think about replacing Rashford with Matheus Cunha??
Although I don’t think they are similar in style of play, I think Cunha suits one of those 2 number 10 positions better in the Amorim system
Actually true..never thought of that ...cuhna wonderful dribbler and can playmake
I've rethought out who I would sell and who I would buy:
Buy:
GK Manuel Riemann - Free Transfer summer - Excellent ball playing GK. Eventually have a youth keeper push for GK2 in the next 2 seasons.
LWB: Alvaro Fernandez - £8.7m ( When you take away the money we sold him for) Ideal LWB in an Amorim system. Can back up and rotate with Mazraoui.
CM(6): Adam Wharton - £60m - United need an air tight 4 man rotation in centre mid. Wharton and Ugarte offer exceptional depth alongside Kone long term.
CM(8): Angel Gomes - Free Transfer summer - Technically excellent and would be ideal to rotate with Mainoo and he can play both CAM spots.
LCAM: Xavi Simmons - £25m plus Rashford - He has the world class potential and he and Garnacho could be the future of the CAM position at United.
Sell:
GK: Altay Bayindir- £12m - He wants to start, sell him and let him get his start
LB: Tyrell Malacia - £13m - Maybe he can turn it around at United but If we could get the price he cost us back I'd be happy
CM(6): Casemiro - £10m - Saudi would take Casemiro for £10m off us.
RW: Jadon Sancho - £25m - Playing well for Chelsea but Good Riddance.
LW: Marcus Rashford - Part of Xavi Simons deal - PSG have eyed Rashford for years, Simons is a better fit and younger.
Idk why you’ve just chosen frimpong for RWB when he clearly prefers a left footed player. Otherwise he would be playing either of our RBs there right now.
We already have Amad. We need variety at that position. If Amad lays ahead, we have no RWB who can go down the outside. Frimpong and Amad make perfect sense together, as does Dalot and Fernandez on the other side
Every single attacker you named is better than rashford, just in the premier league there is at least 15 attackers better than rashford, rashford is a shit overrated player who's salary is 3 times more than he what he deserves
Just not true tho is it. Stop being so hyperbolic. Put any of those attackers under a horrific manager like ten Hag and watch their form tank.
You need to actually be nuanced. Rashford isn’t shit. If you think he’s shit then you’re way of judging players is shit. You just don’t like Rashford. He’s not world class but he’s not shit is he. Give it a rest
@@AtlantisFootballhe’s a great player but he won’t be any good under Amorim. He just doesn’t fit the pressing tactics
Your valuations are VERY optimistic.
Id personally sell...
Rashford: Club wants to get rid and he doesn't suit the no.10 role or the striker role.
Garnacho: Similar to Rashford with positions but worse decision maker than Rashford and doubt I he will improve in that area.
Shaw: Injury prone, poor R.O.I
Casemiro: Poor R.O.I
In terms of signings...
The 2 semi-realistic ones I would personally get are Alphonso Davies and Xavi Simmons. We need to sign better decision makers...
Why would you sell Rasmus Højlund? I know you talked about development, but simply, I'd rather develop him and have Viktor Gyökeres (have both cakes and eat it). Next thing you're going to say is FFP and money, but selling Rashford would give us the money for him. Then you're going to say, what about Isak? Why would you buy a striker for a winger? And lastly, Rashford doesn't fit into the squad, so why would you replace him? Just sell him, take the profit, and buy Gyökeres.
This is bullshit analysis, why sell Hojlund? you can bring in another CF to join him but why in the world will you sell him?
@@togunfestusshina688 no it’s not. Use your brain. It’s pretty simple. Why would we not sell him to sign a more complete CF? Why would we not and instead hope Hojlund eventually reaches Gyokeres’ level, which may take 2-4 years? It’s not bull Shit analysis, makes perfect sense.
@AtlantisFootball no it's you that needs to use your empty brain, selling Hojlund who has a better ceiling than Gyokeres then keep Zirkzee, does that makes sense? moreso Hojlund had strength and better hold up play than Gyokeres
Because Hojlund is terrible
This is so bad ngl. Rashford can easily be replaced. You need to understand current rashford (1-2 yrs) not rashford in his prime. Also we dont need a direct replacement for rashford. He literally doesnt fit the amorim system. Branthwaite is so shit on the ball too. So much wrong here
@@ABESW0RLD no it’s bad. No Rashford cannot be replaced easily. Put a lot of the suggestions to replace him in the ten Hag with this fan base and they are calling them shit.
Rashford does fit the system, mate you’ve got that completely wrong. Rashford is a better version of Garnacho and we need pace in the attack.
Come on mate, Branthwaite is not so shit on the ball, you’ve got to do better. Stop calling players shit. Branthwaite isn’t that great at incisive passes between the lines but ball carrying and long passing off of both feet he is pretty good.
There’s a lot more wrong with your comment then any of your suggestions. Also you’ve not even criticised any of my actual suggestions so how can you say it’s bad?
Who are you replacing Rashford with? If he can be replaced easily you should be able to give me someone who will cost around what we can get for him, is younger and a clear upgrade.
Rashford categorically can fit the system. People just look at Amorim’s sporting and try to go profile for profile, not understanding that the biggest issue was the lack of pace from the two interior attackers, Trincao and Pote
If you think Branthwaite is shit on the ball you should also think Yoro is shit on the ball. The only difference is one plays for Man Utd and is French and the other plays for Everton and is English. Saying Branthwaite is shit on the ball is just a lazy way of judging him.
Exactly my point. There’s loads of upgrades but whenever someone mentions an example they clearly aren’t upgrades, aren’t worth signing for their price or age, or just don’t fit the system.
They let the hate of Rashford runaway to the point where they just jump on the next player they’ve seen hyped up
@AtlantisFootball
If you want to understand why Branthwaite is mid, another youtube actually does some great analysis on him. Also the eye test can show you how bad he is on the ball
th-cam.com/video/RSseJ45WVLQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Lf7T9QntkIXgIuSB
Rashford doesn't fit the system. Amorim also hinted at Rashford not being a fit. He tried him as a striker and amorim said that's not the best for him, he then tried him at lam etc and hes not those type of player, hes a winger. "We'll try to find the right solution for him but he has to be Marcus, first of all, to try to return to that moment,". The fact that amorim said this is because rashford doesnt directly fit his system. He's shoe horning rashford to ram/lam, theres a reason rashford is on the transfer list and its not only his wages.
Man Utd can replace rashford with different type of forwards. Dreams for those positions would be your Gulers, Kvaratskelia, Wirtz
More realistic: Rony Bardghji, Yildiz, M.Soule, T.George, A.Nusa, Arijon Ibrahimovic, Noah Darvich, Dibling, Esse, Hutchinson, Mastanuano, Rodrigo Mora
More unnattainable talents that would fit perfectly: Moore, Nwaneri, Dowman, O.Bobb, Wanner, Irankunda, Leannart Karl, Hugo Felix,
Rashford type players: there's not many but I don't think we should look at rashford type players anyway: Semenyo, Greenwood (buyback), Talents: Enzo Molebe, T.George
Other realitic to scout that fit LAM/RAM better: Cherki, J.Pedro, Kudus, Romain Esse, Mikautadze, Kubo
Some ideas
LWB: Robinson/ Fatawu, Semenyo (as wingers in amorim wing back)/
CB: Bastoni/ Acheampong/ Andrea Natali/ Gasiorowski
RWB: Esse
MF: Bouaddi/ Ouedraogo/ Jobe/ Nypan
LAM: Bardghji/ T.George/ Rodrigo Mora
RAM: Hutchinson/ Arijon Ibrahimovic/ Dibling/ Noah Darvich
Academy to promote/ for future that fit amorim:
GK: Vitek (Bayindir)/ Harrison
LCB: Kukonki
CCB: Armer
RCB: Munro
LWB: D.Leon/ Amass/ E.Williams or Missin (msybe)
MF: S.Kone/ Fitzgerald/ Twaites/
RWB: Mantato/ Kamason/ Missin (Maybe)
LAM: Ibragimov/ Scanlon/ Biancheri
ST: Obi
RAM: Lacey/ J.Fletcher
I dont rate mount.
English options if Mount keeps getting injured:
Hutchinson, J.McAtee, Gibbs-White, M.Rogers (though his end product isn’t there).
@ Branthwaite is just as good as Yoro on the ball. You’re only factoring in a few aspects of his possession play which is his incisive passing and receiving the ball under pressure. He is a better long passer and ball carrying than Yoro.
By you’re logic Yoro is also shit on the ball. You’re holding other players to higher standards than Man Utd players that’s the issue. Branthwaite is categorically not shit on the ball. Anyone who tells you that is just wrong
I also think Rashford and Zirk feet very well stylistically together. However, Rashfords substandard pressing ability and willingness is a big problem.
we're manchester united
we should be this ambitious
I think I would and United too would also look to sell Rashford and bring in a replacement into the system rather than a like for like Rashford replacement, eg a Wirtz or a Musiala players who are more pure 10's who can play wide or in the half space rather than a wide attacker like Rashford, players who are good against low blocks or in tight spaces.
Kvaratskhelia for Rashord
Guenda for Antony
Davis for Dalot
Reis for Maguire
Gyokeres for Zirkzee
Reinders for Casemiro
Ederson for Eriksen
Wow 👌 trouble will be the cost though unfortunately.
@@martinlogan8329We can split our payments over 2 to 3 years. Alot of clubs do this
Lookman or Eze or Kudus as one of the tens would be a masterstroke
I would look to see Ederson or Joao Gomes as a long term partner for Ugarte
as for LWB Aitnori, Antonee Robinson or Davies are options
Osimhen or Gyokeres both cost around 60-70m
But over all very unrealistic unless untied can sell Rashford , Casemiro, Antony and have Maguire, Evans , Eriksen and a few others go for free in the summer
I like Morgan Rogers for the 10 bro he is a baller
Nah Lookman and Eze aren’t good enough as upgrades. Give it a year and people will be calling them shit as well. I think Wharton is a far more complete player than Ederson or Joao Gomes, I don’t think they even displace Ugarte for most games alongside Mainoo
@@AtlantisFootball what do you think about Morgan rogers
@@AtlantisFootballI think he will sign Sporting Captain Hjulmand to play alongside Ugarte
Good player but isn’t the level we need right now and would be far too expensive for how good he is
Sadly your transfer fees are not realistic
@@soopunzoubayr6847 they are realistic
@@AtlantisFootball with all due respect I disagree
Who are the actual upgrades on Rashford, Ugarte, De Ligt, and Bruno(not necessarily attainable, only pure ability wise)? And maybe the ones who have the potential to possibly reach their levels in the future?
great video as always man!
I love the way you just speak your mind!
Thanks bro appreciate it 🙏🏼
ik it's not the same type of profile, but my ideal rashford replacement is Alex Baena. more similar to the Bruno archetype than he ever would to rashford. but he's a special player: ambipedal monster, creativity, ball-carrying, press-resistance, set piece delivery & technique. been underpeforming his npxG by a small margin up until this season which highlights sustainability in his game. if we get him, we solve our creativity problem in the squad and could potentially maximize rasmus' output. then sign a rashford-esque player (Inside forward) that gives you the opportunity to have an outlet in certain games or exploit opposition weaknesses tactically
Top class player that Baena
Atleast 1 well rounded physical presence in the centeral midfield, 2 centerbacks as starters or cover and an elite attacker are needed...
And also Amorim wants wrong footed wide players so 2 players at least one at their prime are needed.. All these are possible at a budget of 100m plus sales. But all singings should have balance between Experience and wage// Potential and Price...
We need a new Roy keane for our midfield
Almost all incomming players would expect massive contracts no? Isn't it more likely Ineos want to build a more sustainable way of handing out contracts. So more possible stars than just players at the peak of their powers.
love your analysis as always but saying lookman ain't an upgrade to rashford is crazy even if its 20% i'd pick him over rashford
Maybe he will be but it’s not crazy. You are factoring out that Rashford is playing at Man Utd under ten Hag in PL for the past year and a half and Lookman is in serie a with Gasperini.
Put Lookman under ten Hag in the PL and Rashford under Gasperini in Serie A and there’s absolutely no doubt in my mind that people are calling Lookman Shit like they did with Sancho and saying Rashford is as good as Lookman.
You have to factor in that this Man Utd squad was playing in a horrific system. Just look at Sancho. Was shit at United apparently but now, instantly in a different system he looks better
@ what do you think about Morgan Rogers…. Would you say he’s better than rashford as that 10 Amorim would like
This has to be the best video you made till now
Not saying other videos are not good, but this one was TOP Quality 💯
Thanks bro 🙏🏼
Practice make Perfect
Jonathan Davids. Goal scorer. Can play 10 and 9 plus we can get him on a free. Should also sign Eze. Rashford and Zirkzee out
Mate Eze and David are not at the level we need. That isn’t really improving our attack. Neither are elite and Eze isn’t exactly young anymore and would cost a significant amount.
If we are signing a striker it needs to be someone at Gyokeres’ level otherwise we might as well stick with Hojlund and Zirkzee
Alphonso Davies should be our first choice LWB option in the summer and Alvaro in January is a perfect gamble.
Isak would be perfect but that'd be one hell of a negotiation. We literally fought over Ashworth last season.
Gyokeres can be added to the squad alongside Hojlund and Zirkzee, we need all the depth we can get.
My first choice CM is Joao Neves but that's quite unrealistic right now.
Reijnders and Ederson are perfect replacements for Eriksen and Casemiro respectively.
We shouldn't attach so much attention to Wharton, he lacks the intensity that we need now but definitely one for the future.
Jobe Bellingham is very much available as a wildcard signing.
Selling Rashford would be wise but Florian Wirtz should be the break-the-bank signing that replaces him, Bruno is 30 and might need his replacement ready.
Bruno can't and won't be sold. ❤
Why would teams pay so much for hojlund? when in form , more proven , aesthetically pleasing (style wise) strikers are on the market ? Not hating just asking 😅
Because he now is PL proven to a degree, still has huge potential and still in his early 20s. Also other players on the market around his age will cost around the same (such as Sesko who would cost more)
@AtlantisFootball fair , well i hope it all works out post january window
Do you think Amad can be as good as Bruno as the main creative option if given the chance?
Who is going to buy shaw?
@@soopunzoubayr6847 a PL club or Serie A club will take him if he isn’t out the whole season
@AtlantisFootball not sure a club will buy him given his injury worries and salary. We are stuck with him just like martial. He will leave once his contract expires.
I don’t agree with putting dalot at rcb he’s terrible defensively but with more time could be a better attacking rwb option. I also don’t agree with the hojlund take I think if anything sell zirkzee or rashford n bring in gyokerez so hojlund can learn off him n be a beast in the future. I also believe that even if we don’t sell Martinez we should still be bringing in at least one lcb and Wharton is gonna cost far too much man not a realistic signing for me even tho id love him to play for us.
He’s not terrible defensively tho. This just a myth. His weakness is one vs ones not positional defending.
There’s a difference between being terrible defensively and making the odd mistake. This fanbase is so hyperbolic lol
Maybe with Wharton but it’s not about the cost of individual signings, it’s about the total net spend. So as long as it’s in the £100m-£120m range and we aren’t paying over £65m up front for him I think he’s gonna be the best option
@@AtlantisFootball Tbf I shouldn’t of used the word terrible to describe him, heat of the moment thing lol, however I still don’t think defensively- wether it’s positional, 1v1, tracking back etc he’s not really all that when it comes to those things I just think that because dalot is good offensively he’d be wasted in the rcb role. I understand that this video is your opinion and player YOU would like n I respect that and £65 for Wharton would be great however do you really think thts what he’s gonna go for? Absolutely not, we’d get fleeced. And in my opinion isak wouldn’t even want to look utds direction nvm actually come to us we just have to start realising that’s the club we are (at this moment in time)
@@AtlantisFootball love that u reply to all the comments on ur videos btw👍🏽🫱🏻🫲🏾
Thanks bro 🙏🏼
Wish the channel grows more and more ❤️
These are genuinely great suggestions, think the Hernandez one could a great option.
Adam Wharton and Mainoo in midfield on current form is arguably significantly worse than Ugarte and Casemiro right now.
No way, Mainoo and Wharton is a fantastic midfield. One of the best in the league. Ugarte and Casemiro is a terrible CM long term. Both have the same weaknesses
@ and yet both have been poor this season, btw I’m not saying Casemiro is the solution but starting two 20 year olds who are out of form and don’t have much compatibility in the most important position on the pitch won’t have us challenging for the league, this isn’t fifa it doesn’t happen.If you break down their player profiles currently it’s debatable if either would start in any top team in Europe with some of the limitations they have Wharton(athleticism) Mainoo(athleticism, Passing ability). For me it’s obvious as a pair that would not bode well and with the clear lack of athleticism already in the side it’s impossible to seriously argue pairing two players lacking athleticism would show differing results to what we’ve seen already when someone is partnering Eriksen for example who is proven technically to a higher quality then Wharton and Mainoo. If I was in charge, I’d be trying to sign Reijnders or something with a player profile equivalent and someone like Baleba. Reijnders is effective in build up, defensively, more athletic and beats Mainoo in pretty much every technical aspect of the game, also he’s prime age and still has another at minimum 5 years of quality in him. Baleba defensively is a juggernaut and would offer the type of competition necessary for Ugarte whilst adding significantly more athleticism to a midfield that’s in dire need of it. If Mainoo improves enough then he should start, we shouldn’t just guarantee a player a starting berth because he’s good at a young age it should be earned through consistency and merit Wharton looks a good player but we can do better for sure imo.
Who have been poor this season? Mainoo and Wharton haven’t been poor. Come on mate, Mainoo and Wharton is far better than Casemiro and Ugarte. Ugarte and Casemiro lacks ball progression, press resistance and creativity.
Mainoo has been poor this season I’ve only watched four palace games this season so perhaps I’m being a bit too anecdotal but Wharton was anonymous in all four games. Mainoo doesn’t really progress play Casemiro tries but can’t I don’t think either would start for any top team in Europe or the prem, I was just pointing out Casemiro and Ugarte have played better then Mainoo this season and you’d have to be extremely biased to say otherwise. My main point remains, Wharton and Mainoo as a pair don’t challenge for league titles especially right now, if we want to challenge for top 4 we need two midfielders I’d go for Reijnders and Baleba as they are athletic enough, defensively sound and Reijnders is better in every technical category then Mainoo as an 8, ugarte can challenge Baleba and whoever comes out on top betters the side. Mainoo is in the bottom 26% for passes per game for midfielders in Europes top 5 leagues and bottom 16% for progressive passes and is only in the top 58% for progressive carries it’s delusional to think he should be the focal point of the team at 19 with those stats as a midfielder, should not be a starter yet alone be partnered by Wharton who’s also not athletic and couldn’t cover his weaknesses. This isn’t to say there’s no talent in Mainoo and Wharton just they aren’t at the level people are hyping them up to be and as any United fan should know atp growth isn’t linear, young players don’t just keep improving we’ve had countless bigger talents then both Wharton and Mainoo stagnate and regress after we pinned all our hopes on them.(martial was literally a golden boy winner, Rashford, Tuanzebe, Januzaj, Greenwood, Lingard, Pogba the list goes on and on)
You’ve got some wild opinions but Itd be fun to see Hojlund at Leipzig even though I don’t want him to go. Why do you think Wharton will be the best option for 10 years? I like yournl ideas in the first half of the video, nice efficiency
i’ll sell anyone of these players if their replacement are upgrade. we need great characters, skillful, physical, technical, forward thinking players with great work ethic, ability, and attitude
Alphonso Davies has to be the priority this summer, 2 new central midfielders a new goalie 2 right wingers and a striker
So lookman isn’t an upgrade to rashford😂
@@GeorgeMurmur these so called united analyst man. He said he we should go for Wharton than reignders.
No
Yes he is. He’s playing in Serie A for a gasperini side. He’s the same age as well. Completely nonsensical signing. Put Lookman at Man Utd and you lot would be saying he is shit as well
lookman wouldnt even fit in i think. isnt he like a wide winger?
Tbf wingers can play in those wider positions. People seem to think they need to be number 10s but that’s not really true. You can use different types of players there depending on who is alongside them in the system
What you think of Angelo stiller as Midfield partner for Ugarte
Also Can Licha player there along side Ugarte
You know ball
There's no world in which United should be keeping Rashford beyond next summer. And as for blaming Ten Hag for his form, he had exactly the same performance last season as he did the season before ETH arrived, he's never going to be consistent and at 27 it's not worth waiting to see him develop.
My dear friends from Man united, the worst mistake right now is to sell and entire team to buy a new team, you need to keep your best players. Change a whole team its like restarting again and will only worst everything, the players must know each other for a certain time and used to play together for a given time to benefit the team, and the team to start to get results.
@@rodrigomachado900 yep completely agree they’ve given Amorim 5 matches in which we looked far better than we did under ten Hag in the last 18 months.
They just love scapegoats when in reality a lot of them are to blame for wanting to keep ten Hag. But they’ll never admit that and so the players have to take more blame to deflect from how bad ten Hag was
@@AtlantisFootball, i think the main problem its not the players, look how sancho looks like a diferent player in Chelsea. It seems that the players in the man united dont evolve its strange... Amorim did a great job in Sporting without tons of money, i think that if im rigth you will se players figth more for each game like it was a final, and you will see players that you think that are bellow average players became good team players. Bruno its a excelent player i dont understand why so many people would sell Bruno, the best players are the ones that allready are in your team, not he ones that you would liked to have in the team
Selling Højlund!? U are so unserious mate
No I’m not. How is that unserious? Keeping Hojlund and hoping he gets to Gyokeres’ level rather than just getting Gyokeres for £10m more is unserious. We aren’t keeping players just because the fan base likes them
Still owe €40m on Antony at the end of the year. Selling for 25 means the difference needs to come straight out of PSR. Casemiro similar but €15m. Selling players before their incoming transfer fee has been fully amortised puts you in a hole.
No one’s paying that for Antony or Casemiro mate. There wages are too high
Its simple
BUY
Quenda, Ederson, Davies and Kvaratskhelia
Total cost £140-150m
I think we should go for Kudus in the January transfer, he is not been playing for west ham this season
Very inefficient with the ball
Martinez, Bruno, rashford gotta go
Hey atlantis choose 1 osimhen or gyokeres?
Gyokeres all day
What happens to garnacho
My guy Atlantis I'd genuinely want to understand why you say other players who suite the system aren't upgrades on Rashford
I would sell / let go of - Antony, Zirkzee, Shaw, Erikson, Casemiro, Rashford
Probably get around - 105 mil for these players
Rashford - 45 mil
Zirkzee - 30 mil
Antony - 20 mil
Shaw - 10 mil
I would buy - vitinha, Alphonso Davies, nkunku, osimhen, bremer
These players would probably cost around - 220 mil
Vitinha - 60 mil
Osimhen - 60 mil
Nkunku - 50 mil
Bremer - 50 mil
Alphonso Davies - free transfer
Net transfer fee of around 115 million
I know gyökeres is a better player than ohismen at everything… but I don’t think he’ll want to come to united he’s the best striker in the world this season and I’m sure many clubs doing better than us will offer him similar deals. Also that way we can keep hojlund and he will become our gyökeres in a couple seasons, and in the meantime we have a consistent goal scorer in osimhen
@atlantisfootball do you think macaroni can do a temporary job In the 8 or nah if needed also don’t mind guys saying to keep hojlund over zirkzee in this scenario a lot of fans at times have slight player bias and illogical takes even myself but some of us try to stay unbiased as much as possible
Great Analysis!
Theo and Frimpong would be great additions.But wouldn’t it be difficult to continue with both Licha and Mazroui as two CBs as every team is exposing us aerially.I think Yoro would be good option as RCB but I feel instead of going RWB as we have Dalot/Mazroui/Amad for next season(I know we are not sure if Mazroui can give us the energy).I feel we need to go for a left footed CB back up, as Yoro De Ligt can play in middle or at right side.
Wharton is great talent but given his young age and the United pressure, wouldn’t it be better to go for alternate option as he is still raw(I dont know better alternatives as I am still thinking of some😅). Gykores would be great option up front, Isak is great option too but seems he is a bit injury prone.What about Brahim Diaz/Mbeumo to replace Antony(Both are chance creators)!Let me know your thoughts.
Thanks mate 🙏🏼 Yh I’m going to make a few changes in another video
Great Analysis BTW😃
Thanks bro 🙏🏼
@ And for Rashford replacement I think we should have gone for Mathys Tel last window before he extended his contract.Could have smoothly integrated him to the team😕
Why don't we sell Garnacho - over the last 15 months he has been very bad. Doesn't pass, always looks to take the shot when his teammates are in better position, overplaying which resulted in lot of good situations going to waste. Looks tactically lost in Amorim's 3-4-3 system. Constant stupidity in social media. Our obsession with these over hyped academy products is spoiling the club.
as a newcastle fan 60M for hojlund is too low and didnt you buy him for more than that? man united fans are delusional
Man utd need to sell everyone at this point. Not one of the current players deserves to wear the jersey. Get rid of them all and start over from scratch.
Mainoo diallo and licha all great players that I think should stay. Garnacho is a great player but he won’t fit into Amorims formation
I love the transfer suggestions you've made and the youth promotion you've suggested except Dan Gore he needs a good loan and selling after don't think he is united level and Casemiro I think we can't afford termination 10M from saudi like Telles sale is reasonable...Where you've lost me and must be a joke is to challenge for the league with Rashford,Bruno,Garnacho and Hoijlund ...they are technically bad with bad decision making... Don't let me start on Rashfords long lists of negatives...Also I'd say Rashford we can get 30-50M depending on the buying club willingness to pay his wages...and Lookman is better than Rashford statistically and by eye test in last season and this season...We aren't getting 60M for Rasmus maybe 40M plus addons taking it to 50-M...and whats with the obsession of challenging next season with you Arsenal took 3.5 years roughly to challenge liverpool 2.5 seasons wee need atleast a similar time frame to challenge as we have a bigger mess to fix... (Rashford Bruno Garna Hoijlund need selling like Chelsea did 2 seasons ago selling those big players to fund a new project)anyway lovely video as always keep them coming..(all the figures am talking about are in pounds)
In the Summer i think Amorion will go shopping at Sporting Gyokers and diomande
I’ll sign Theo, gyokeres, kudus, frimpong, alvaro f, wharton and sell Rashy, Garna, zirkzee, Malacia ,case, Evans and Eriksen leave on free.
That’s my squad for 2025/26. Its more than enough for top 4
Garna is shit but it’s so sad the potential was amazing
I agree with a lot of things you say but saying Lookman with the past 18 months he's had carrying Atlanta and Nigeria is not better than Rashford is CRIMINAL🤬
No it’s not. Lookman has been playing under Gasperini in Serie A. Rashford under Ten Hag in the PL. switch the teams and managers and people are calling Lookman Shit just like they did with Sancho.
It’s not criminal, it’s just factoring in each players playing environments.
It not just about Gasperini he has also been carrying a dysfunctional Nigeria side, took them to the AFCON final with all the big name Nigerian internationals all underperformaning. His qualities both on and off the ball has been elite with the stelar performance against Madrid being the latest. Swap sides and Lookman will still give you that quality maybe not at the current level(due to EtH setup) but at a high level and also a better defensive workrate. He's everything you want in a modern day inside forward
But you’d say the same thing about Rashford in 22/23 which was the last season where he was actually in a semi competent tactical set up. Every season where we’ve had a competent tactical set up and not mid table dross he has performed. He’s just overhated because the fan base still can’t cope with how bad ten Hag was
@@AtlantisFootball But it's not just about quality and tactical setup though, it's the desire to take matters into your hands and win games for your team both in and out of possession which in the 2 years I fear Rashford has lost that fire at least at united anyways, he doesn't press effectively and shys away from physical duels and this is an issue he's had his whole career. I love Rashford and I still think of he goes to another country with a lesser intensity he can still thrive but his time at united I fear is over. He needs a reset and us as well and selling him will bring pure profit that will help with ffp
Bruno has been in that same bad setup and it clearly took a toll on his output and performance but you can't say Bruno wasn't trying his absolute best to make sure we win matches, even last season that was our worst season post Fergie he single handedly carried us in many matches, Rashy doesn't play like he cares if we win or lose and poor setup shouldn't be an excuse for not giving a 100%. This is Manchester united and our character was always our best attribute that is why we were able to win titles with arguably inferior squads to our competitors in SAF era we always wanted it more than our opponents
rashford +30M for isak are you on drugs? genuinly im thinking about reporting you how dare you value isak at ~80M we bought him for 70M and hes one of the best players, nevermind strikers in the world
What are you talking about I literally said £40m. Yeah you’re selling him for £90m. That’s a £20m profit. You ain’t getting much more than that considering you have to sell due to FFP and Isak probably wants to move to a big club
Forgetting about Diogo Costa one of the best ball playing keepers out there
Sell Antony, casemiro, mount, rashford, shaw, malacia, lindeloff, bruno, garnacho, dalot, maguire.
250mil war chest
15mil nypan
25mil baturina
Kerkez 35mil
Gomes free
Reis 25mil
Gyokeres 60mil
Hjulmand 50mil
Cherki 30mil
I apologize for my earlier comment, n took it off, but I have these words for u... Hojlund Hojlund Hojlund, the lad is really good, we just hv to operate better around him.
He needs to improve his hold up play with his back to goal. That’s the fundamental issue in this game.
What is this guy's obsession with Dalot? Mate just accept the fact his not good enough for the club and it's better if we offloaded him in the summer while we can get the highest return.
Obsession? Of course Dalot is good enough. You clearly watching our games. Just running with narratives. Dalot is good enough, he was one our best players last season 🤣 he’s just a scapegoat. Watch him during matches. There’s no way you can watch him and think he’s the issue. He’s just not.
Kvaraskelia, mainoo, mount and garnacho are ideal replacements for bruno and Rashford.
There is only two spots in that no. 10 role.
@@Doctor_Kroom i mean there not really number 10s. Number 10s are holding central positions whereas we want our players in those positions to drift wide as well.
Mainoo doesn’t have the pace or the attacking output to play that role. He’s far better in the double pivot.
Rashford/Bruno>Lookman/kerkez/Alphonso
Garnacho(pure profit) > Simons/Eze/Semenyo/Cunha
Thanks for this video 🎉

Onana is not enough if you want to win the league.
There is a reason Inter sold him after 1 year.
Inter classified 3rd in 22/23 with the 7th best defence of the league.
Believe majority of Utd fans are blind about him.
Mate this just nonsense. He is good enough. He’s been the best keeper in the league this season along with Raya.
That’s nonsense again. Inter sold him because Man Utd wanted him. He was incredible for them.
I’m sorry but you’re just wrong, you aren’t judging keepers correctly. You’re just going off the odd clips. His PSxG-GA from this season, last season and his last season at Inter prove that he’s a top keeper when it comes to shot stopping and that’s not even factoring in his cross claiming or ball playing ability.
@AtlantisFootball Of course there are valid points for both views, it's simply my opinion. I much prefer a Courtois or a Buffon style of keeper. Lunin is a good midpoint. It would give me less heart attacks during set pieces. 😅
I mean it is your opinion but the part about Onana at inter isn’t true tho is it. Also we need a ball playing keeper at the top level, so you’re not factoring that in.
@@AtlantisFootball I must say Onana is not helping your case at all 🤣
@ yeah only because of the last 2 games. The mistake he made was with his feet and he is clearly one of best ball playing keepers in the world
We have tried for many many years signing proven players very expensively and didn’t work. So, why not sign very cheap players and you never know they might turn to saviours
Proven players is not a problem at all but the cost and the wages they get are the problem. So as long as we get the balance of cost and Experience we'll be fine...
Never getting 50/60m for Hoijlund & never getting 50m for Rashford. We've been dreadful at selling players for years & We've been equally bad at giving said players ridiculous wages. I do like some of your suggestions for transfers but your valuations ect is fanciful
They aren’t. We ain’t getting that for Rashford now because we’ve already told everyone he’s leaving.
We’d defo get £50m for Hojlund absolutely no doubt. Any less than that is fanciful.
Right but we aren’t talking about Ineos we are talking about what I would do. Any competent negotiating team should be able to get £100m for Hojlund and Rashford
@AtlantisFootball I didn't say Ineos. And I'm sorry but you're not a magican, you are not tricking anybody in world in football into giving you those fees for those players. Like them or not... neither have done anything to warrant those figures, it's only us lot that love slapping silly money out for negligible performing players
You don’t need to be a magician. Literally every other club seems to be able to get value for money. £50m for Hojlund is perfectly attainable even for Man Utd
Both have absolutely performed to warrant those figures. Rashford under usual circumstances 100% is between £45m-£50m and Hojlund even now is at least £50m-£60m no question
What is your obsession for challenging next season?
@@gesha9413 mate we are Man Utd
@AtlantisFootball That is just arrogance we can't do that we need a chelsea 600million summer and an year for the time to jell so it would take at least 2 years to consider challenging...where have you seen in epl a team fall off such as us and challenge for the league after 6 months? Be realistic or are you saying that just to get more engagement I just don't see your logic and reality in challenging
@ no it’s no arrogance. That’s just a lack of ambition from you. No one said do what Chelsea have done, but Chelsea have shown that their transfer strategy works better than ours
@ be realistic? I am. And no I’m not doing it for engagement. Stop deflecting
@@AtlantisFootball So having a plan that takes longer is lacking ambition?Really? Even if you were given the club to run tomorrow making few signings won't make us challengers thats my point the team needs a culture of winning which most of the times takes a while to cultivate a season or two that is at least...
Man United needs to start planning the future from the next transfer window, I like some of the players you mentioned (Warthon and Frimpong) but I'm not sure those should be the next moves for now. It looks like INEOS will be ruthless and Amorim has now given them the axing list so I'd say there will be more players leaving than arriving.
For the signings I'd like to see United sign 3 players and return one: Kerkez - LWB, Ederson - CM, Victor Oshimen - PL and Jadon Sancho.
Kerkez I believe will be better than Theo and Davies in 2 years, he's only 21 so you would have a player for 10 years and with higher ceiling.
Ederson would be the midfield commander Amorim needs, 25 years old, reaching his prime and someone for 5/6 years.
Oshimen is the best market opportunity, 25 years old, lost at Galatasaray the asking price is low (I heard is around £60M) and would fit like gloves in Amorim's system.
The return of Sancho would be ideal, he's a top player better than all the current attacking options and fits Amorim style, his showing at Chelsea (showed at Dortmund last season) that he was not being well utilised in Manchester.
In summer I'd continue the rebuild with:
CB - Branthwaite and Taylor Harwood-Bellis(if Maguire leaves)
CM - Zubimendi or Tonali
LW - Nico Williams
RW: Bakayoko
Its impossible to throw 12 players out and bring 12 in, so I'd say this 3 or 4 key players per window would be the ideal approach.
We don’t. We need to sign players who are ready now. People want to sign young players and then complain when the squad isn’t at its potentially immediately.
The CM’s lack athleticism and I don’t think Nico Williams is good enough in the front 3, his offensive output isn’t great compared with other options
We ain’t getting sancho back mate, it’s obligation to buy if Chelsea finish in top half I believe, move on
@@AtlantisFootball I don't disagree with getting players who are ready now but you can have the best of both worlds, get players who are ready and are relatively young. Also getting younger players means better sustainability (lower wages), players above the age of 27 with super high wages should not be the way to go in my opinion (you don't see any top team doing this these days anymore)
On Nico Williams, I don't have any stats to back this suggestion only performances I often see from him but I'll ask you two questions: 1. Who would you buy if not him ? 2. If Nico had the perfect offensive output (I assume you're focusing on goals and assists) wouldn't he be a unrealistic target for the actual level of Man. United( in theory a top club but not a top team?) ?
@Marcus-h5y8y Thanks for letting me know. I knew there was an obligation to buy but wasn't sure about the condition( Chelsea will kely finish at top3 )
While I would love to sign Theo Hernandez, Jeremie Frimpong, Alvaro Fernandez, Adam Wharton, Victor Gyökeres and Alexander Isak, I can see maybe one or two of them signings happening.
Theo Hernandez - Ideally yes but without Champions League football, I just can't see it.
Jeremie Frimpong - I don't think the need is as essential seeing as both Amad and Antony have actually been surprisingly good from the position
Alvaro Fernandez- I think I'd take him over Hernandez for his cheapness. I think United know they aren't getting value for money for selling Shaw so they use him as a back up.
Adam Wharton- Ideally yes, but I think a cheaper alternative is out there. Gomes on a free to back up Mainoo and Amadou Haidara to back up Ugarte for 25m
Victor Gyökeres - Ideally yes but not at the expense of Hojlund. I think a more realistic signing is a different Victor. Victor Osimhen can be got. Throw in Zirkzee and £35m and you can get him.
Alexander Isak - There is no way Newcastle do business with us after Ashworth. I would sell Rashford and I'd sign a young up and coming LCAM and let Garnacho work through his issues and use the Rashford money elsewhere going forward.
Gyokeres is a far more complete CF and a better fit for the system than Osimhen and would cost the same.
Newcastle will defo do business with us if the money is right. They are going to have to sell Isak at some point, especially if he wants a move as his contract only runs to 2028 so come summer 2026 will be his peak value anyway which is only 1 summer away
@@AtlantisFootball In all honesty I'd rather stick with what we have. Yes I want United to win the league ASAP but I also want to self promote from within the academy. I'd feel comfortable with Rasmus, Zirkzee and Obi- Martin.
Adam Wharton? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 united analyst man.
Yes 😭😭 what are you talking about. Adam Wharton would be a fantastic signing. Come on man this is a horrific take. Just watch him play instead of judging him because he’s English.
Every analyst would agree Wharton is a top player 😭😭 come on mate, you’re ball knowledge is horrific if you aren’t taking Adam Wharton seriously.
@@AtlantisFootball you're the only one waffling about him. There are more impressive players for united than wharton.
I’m not waffling am I. Who are the more impressive players than. Name them? Why are you saying I’m waffling when I’m clearly better at analysing than you and you aren’t even suggesting anyone. See how you’re the one waffling?
Go on suggest someone. And preferably someone you’ve actually watched not just a random name you’ve heard us linked with.
U defend a back 3 system but it has been shown it is easily found out but also u cannot be defensive at man utd all the time.
I instead hope amorim changes from the back 5 to a back 4. I hope he has the ability to the innovative tactically but also very flexible tactically
No it hasn’t at all. This is just not true. The back 5 system is a more stable system than a back 4. The system hasn’t been found out. We were found out more with ten hag’s back 4 than Amorim’s back 5. The back 4 would make us worse because you have less cover behind the midfield line.
@AtlantisFootball not has been found out. But is easily found out when opponents do find it out.
@AtlantisFootball the back 4 can be made solid in defence but very potent in attack. But also pep has and naiglesman have shown us it is easily tweakable to get advantages.
That’s nothing to do with the system. You’re just putting 2 and 2 together and getting 5. The back 5 system looks better defensively than the back 4 system under ten Hag.
It’s nothing to do with a back 4 or back 5 but how the system is set up as a whole. Either system can work
A back 5 naturally is more solid tho, hence why it’s a better system for teams that aren’t as well organised like international teams or managers who take over mid season.
As for signings Kerkez , Joshua Kimmich , Victor Osihmen & Lookman will be better than Rashford by far!
Personally I’m going for baleba or gedson fernandes (benfica) over adam wharton let Mainoo be the dictator and have a high energy destroyer next to him
That Luke Shaw line is crazy maboi 😂😂😂😂😂😭
Love the song in the background that shit fire
What one?
I’ll start linking them
@@AtlantisFootball The little beat of the video while you’re talking makes everything you say sound epic and have a flow you are very good at editing man.
@ thanks mate 🙏🏼 my editors will have to take credit for the editing lol
What about back up centre back? If we sell who do you think is good back uo centre backs
Great video Atlantis! The videos are getting only getting better. You are a great voice of reason in our community in what is otherwise emotional rage filled youtubers.
Wanted to pick your mind on aquisition of Alphonso Davies on free over Theo Harnandez and Son on free for 2 years by selling Rashford over Isak to get Garnacho developed for the role in the meantime.
Thanks bro 🙏🏼 but Davies’ salary is going to be about 3 times that of Theo, so it’s not really cheaper, only from the initial transfer fee
@@AtlantisFootball Which would make the transfer fees plus wages equal over 4 years right? On sheer quality who do you think will do better at United in LWB position? Also do you think Son can play as a number 10 if we bring him by selling Rashford?
His salary package over the course of those years would take the total cost higher than Theo’s transfer fee most likely because we have to pay him substantially more because he’s a free agent.
@@AtlantisFootball Thanks for the reply Atlantis! Keep making such bangers.
Thanks bro 🙏🏼
I think instead of Theo Hernandez we should go for dimarco he’s much better
Going to cost significantly more and is around the same age tho
When you play too much FIFA and football manager from a young age, this is the type of football knowlege and opinion that develops!
You make some good points and have me nodding in agreement and then you mention Wharton, call Dalot " swiss army knife through the midfied"etc and I come to my senses!
One thing I have noticed about you is you should be an agent bcos once you have a player in your Player F.C team,you really go all out!
Have you watched Wharton this season at Palace?Do you know he is now on the bench because he has been so bad?Hughes looks like Xavi compared to him!Wharton is a purple patch player,just like Gyokeres Rashford and Isak!
Isak is injury prone and is playing for his next big contract and these are his best numbers ever in his career riddled with injuries!Gyokeres is in form now but at Sporting under the new manager he looked like a shadow!Wharton is another British hype job that will be lucky to have half the career of Wilshire! If he is struggling at Palace in a team thatt only lost Olise,he will be swallowed up in a top 8 club!
There are Intangibles you can't relate to or understand about recruitment!
Personally I would add Osimhen to Zirkzee and Rasmus as he is a striker those kids can respect and learn from as a leader!Isak has no personality and is not a leader who would be swLlowed up at United!
Cunha has grit and has been educated in football in Germany and Spain and has matured like fine wine now and is now doing what he has been doing all his career in purple patches but now in longer periods showing consistency!
RASHFORD + ZIRKZEE = 100M
We'd be lucky to get £60-65m at the moment when you consider how bad they've been this season and the leaks that the club wants to sell Rashford.
Can you please make a video on Matteo Prati (Cagliari) and Nicola Zalewski (Roma).❤
Ndiaye from Everton /yeremay Hernandez ll do 😌
Dalot & Bruno should be sold together with Rashford , Mount & Luke Shaw.
Manchester United should buy frenkie de jong and Alessandro Bastoni if not get frenkie should think Maxence Caqueret Lyon on loan deal this January try it out
We have enough players on injuries don't want another one.
De jong made sense 4 years ago not now, enough of him already
We defo need an upgrade on licha, I don’t understand how this guy gets away with subpar performances.the lack of athleticism in the cbs is worrying. Left sided 10 is definitely needed, far more important than rwb
What other options do we have at LCB? Shaw? Lindelof? Evans?
Licha was bought to play in a back 4 which suits him better imo alongside a tall CB ideally with pace and ideally a fullback with height that's good in the air.
Licha unfortunately has become injury prone and it's clearly showing as he seems to have lost a yard of pace and he had no pace to begin with 😂 It's a shame because mentality wise he's United level and genuinely seems honoured to wear the jersey, he gets it.
Technically on the ball he's top level and on form his passing out from the back is good, he can thread the ball through the lines.
A player his size has to be committed in the tackle to compensate for his deficiencies which is a lack of pace and height.
This committed approach has possibly contributed to him becoming injury prone which is a shame and not really his fault.
He looks like he's bulked up a lot recently but he looks even slower as a result, personally I think he's finished long term and Amorim is only using him as he's still probably the best option right now even though he appears out of form and slightly lacking confidence.
If Licha had the body and size of say a Branthwaite and stayed fit he'd be an absolute monster and probably one of the best defenders in world football.
A new LCB, I'm sure is a top priority for Amorim, but for now we have to live with Licha.
@@genghiskhanjunior9581 yeah if Shaw could stay fit would be a brilliant option, I agree with everything you said about licha minus the top-level passing, for me this season its been a bit hit-and-miss for me, it used to be top-class
Martinez has been sleeping this season
Maybe Nuno is more of a target than Theo
What of Viktor in sporting pc I thought he said he will buy that guy
