Some players have the ability to bring out another 15-20% out of those around them. Keane had it, Cantona had it, Schmeichel had it, Rio had it, Rooney had it, these players where the rest of the squad look at them and say "pfft, we're not losing today with him in our team!".. we're screaming for those leaders that elevate those around them
Before i even watch it, no we dont neccesarily need stars. Because it is not financially sustainable at the time being. We need players who can become stars!
Amorims first statement was to give Utd an identity - he knew his formation would be the first time any manager since Fergie would achieve this. What this has done has immediately identify the weaknesses and therefore give a clear path for recruitment, instead of randomly buying expensive players and throwing them into a formation that suits them, only to ruin other players’ strengths and confuse the whole team. I don’t think it’ll take many transfer windows for Amorim to get us back into the top 6 and consistently be challenging for the title. I also think it’ll help if we don’t qualify for Europe so we can have a solid season to grow our confidence back and avoid ruining the up and coming youth players - I’m really looking forward to next season ❤🍻
Agree with Jay that we've got to stop going for big money signings and think long term players that we can mould into the right player. Look how much Mazraoui cost and look how good he is money doesn't always buy quality
ive said it before, im 52 and i do start to question if i will EVER see us win the league again, im fortunate that i was 18 when we started to dominate football ,and was ST at OT for large % of the time, so i can die happy, but im also a bit sad that i might NEVER see another again
Signing "stars" is the exact opposite of what we need to be doing. If we're sticking with Amorim then he needs a full team full of athletic players who can stay fit, and with the attitude that they will run for him until they die. No more big egos here for a big payday
We need a couple marquee signings. But i would look at free agents. There is a few teams that stack their bemch with free players. We literally have a bench that is half full of kids. Villas bench for example is stacked.

If you put Alisson, Van Dijk and Salah into the current United team, where does it finish in the table? 📊
