Amorim's IDEAL Manchester United January Transfer Window Explained

[@UnitedPeoplesTV]

If you could choose 2 realistic IN's and OUT's for United in the January below, what would they be? Leave them in the comments.

[@FoxMoss0823]

Complete hypothetical but the idea would be interesting: getting arda guller on a loan, would be a creative player who can't be happy that he's barely playing at Madrid, could be a possible oodegard kind of situation and would be interesting getting the jump on that

[@solitudeguard5688]

[@jamiemclellan238]

@@WhyAlwaysMeItsNeverMe there was hardly any other top clubs after all three of those players and all three were underwhelming and no where near the level we expected them to be. So what does that tell you... they weren't the best signings.

[@WhyAlwaysMeItsNeverMe]

@ yhhh tbh I agree but I’m talking about the names involved and the clubs they came from not many thought Man Utd would of been an option. That’s the case for a lot of players tbh Yoro chose United when he could have waited for Real Madrid and I’m sure other top clubs were interested.

[@fullstackpedro]

I know most of you don't follow the portuguese league but Alvaro Fernandez has progressed greatly in to the squad to the point of nearly making us forget Grimaldo... he would fit Amorim's system like a glove... from a benfica fan and now rooting for united to get back on top!

Antony has the will to run, put a foot, and can keep possession. I know he doesn't meet the price we paid for him, but if we are going for players that fit the mold of Amorim Antony fits. Give him the run of the season and if it doesn't work out take the loss in the summer.

[@kevinclark5086]

I've said this for months. Give the guy a good run and get his confidence up then if he's not good enough you can sell him. If you let him rot on the bench he's worth nothing.

[@shellshocked8674]

[@HashimA-ti9gu]

I agree with you but the coach needs to pick those players in the squad already. I love Amorim but he keeps picking players who can’t pass and do one touch passing. He needs stop picking Bruno, Garnacho, Dalot, Mainoo at 8, and Hojlund. If he wants to pass well and keep more possession he needs to pick Erickson, Casemiro along Ugarte, Zirkzee at 9, Antony at wingback and Mainoo at left 10. I would put Erickson and Mainoo at 10s and Antony and Amad as wingbacks.

If so then getting rid of Eriksen is a big mistake.

[@Maskyyyx]

@Ijaz__9 pretty unrealistic to get rid of all of them in the january i can see Zirkzee to Serie A but the rest is going to be hard to offload. I like those signings though, if barca cant register Olmo we must go for him, such a baller. Nuno Mendes will cost very much so i dont think it will happen this january. Alvaro Fernandez is more likely to happen.

Napoli are ready to do a swap with Man Utd involving Rashford and Osihmen. Osihmen is younger and established as a top striker. Man Utd should jump at this deal in January because other top teams will want Oshimen in the summer. Rashford still has a high value in the transfer market but if you loan him out, you risk dropping his value if he doesn’t perform wherever he goes. I say keep him and only offload if you are selling.

[@Bourneman89]

Great ideas here. 100% agree.

[@ArmstrongEgbo]

I think I agree with you, smart choice. Rashford should go and those who are doing well.

[@LonghornArmy]

With the winter and summer transfer coming up, it would be a dream to see this: IN: Victor Osimhen (ST), Dani Olmo(CAM), Nico Williams (LW/RW/CAM), Alvaro Fernandez (LWB) or Milos Kerkez (LWB), Ousmane Diomande (CB) or Antonio Silva (CB). OUT: Rashford, Mount, Casemiro, Eriksen, Antony, Shaw, Evans, Lindelof, Bayindir. Zirkzee - I think a loan would be best to give him some playing time and monitor him. If he's a bust then sell him. Dalot - I know he's been performing better than most but I do believe he doesn't fit Amorim system. Amorim expects for his Wing backs to also take shots at goal if they have the space which I feel is something Dalot struggles with. Terrible shots, so many missed opportunities, moments that could differentiate our games. Garnacho - I've been seeing the rumors and I don't even want to think about it..but it is something that we can't keep ignoring. He's very inconsistent. Lacks on vision, looses ball often, passes aren't accurate, out of everyone he has the most missed opportunities. It's honestly hurting us. He's my favorite player but I cannot be biased when it comes to what is the best for the club. I say why not sell him when we are getting an offer for about £60M for him. We can definitely use those funds to start a rebuild.

[@flash-far-1362]

Hey, a Manchester United fan here. I believe that Ruben Amorim could give Manchester United some success but I honestly do think it will take time. One of the first things Ruben Amorim had to do as soon as he joined Manchester United was to figure out who fits his system and who does not, and who he needs to buy and who he needs to keep and sell. I'll be sharing out my suggestions today. So, obviously, it hasn't been the BEST start for Ruben Amorim at Manchester United. Ruben Amorim has officially managed 10 games for Manchester United so far. Out of those 10 games, Ruben Amorim's Manchester United have won 4, drawn 1 and lost 5. I will be going through every single position in Ruben Amorim's system and decide who he should keep and who he should sell. GOALKEEPER There are currently 3 goalkeepers at Manchester United. Their first-choice keeper in Andre Onana, their second-choice keeper in Altay Bayindir and their third-choice keeper in Tom Heaton. I think Andre Onana should be a definite keep as he hasn't been really bad this season and it would be hard just to find another first-choice keeper off the bat. I believe Altay Bayindir should be a sell. He is our second-choice keeper and if Andre Onana is absent for a match, I simply just cannot trust Altay Bayindir; especially after seeing him in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals. I believe Tom Heaton should also be a keep as he is a useful homegrown player in the squad. I believe Tom Heaton should stay as the third-choice goalkeeper as Manchester United should sign a goalkeeper to replace Altay Bayindir. They are in links with 28-year-old goalkeeper: John Victor. I believe he could be a perfect replacement for Altay Bayindir. ONANA - keep BAYINDIR - sell HEATON - keep CENTRE-BACKS Ruben Amorim has 3 centre-backs with 2 wider centre-backs and 1 which is more central. A lot of people criticise this defender but I think Lisandro Martinez should be a keep. In Amorim's system, Lisandro plays as one of the more wider centre-backs who need to be more attacking and ball-playing. We know Lisandro Martinez can be capable of that after seeing his assist to Amad Diallo in the Manchester Derby. Maybe, Lisandro can be getting demoted to the bench but I don't think he should be a sell. Another defender who plays as a wider centre-back in Amorim's system is Leny Yoro, and I think he should be a keep too. Despite Manchester United currently struggling, Yoro is probably the only defender putting in at least a decent performance. Similarly to Lisandro Martinez, Leny Yoro has to be more attacking and ball-playing. Despite it only being pre-season, we saw Leny Yoro produce a great ball to one of our academy players against Rangers. I personally believe Leny Yoro could be a star under Ruben Amorim. Currently, the more central centre-back in Ruben Amorim's plan has been Matthijs de Ligt. His role is to be more defensive and to prevent attacks from the opposition and also try and drive the team forward. At the start of the season, it has been a rocky start for Matthijs de Ligt but now I can see him starting to improve, especially after Erik ten Hag's exit. I think Matthijs de Ligt should be a keep as well. I think every single other centre-back in Ruben Amorim’s system should be a sell, including: Luke Shaw, Harry Maguire, Victor Lindelof and Jonny Evans. Luke Shaw can become a class player on his day but that is the problem. His match fitness records are really negative and we need a player with match fitness. Harry Maguire has been alright so far this season but Manchester United need players with better abilities if they want to become a dominant side again. I think, for Victor Lindelof and Jonny Evans, their time is just up at Manchester United. I think Manchester United should sign a couple of centre-backs as well. There is this defender which Ruben Amorim has worked with before back at Sporting and he was the more central centre-back in his system and was great at preventing attacks from the opposition. His name is - Ousmane Diomande. I think it will be a tough decision between him and Matthijs de Ligt for the starting central centre-back as I think they will have around an even amount of game time. Another defender I believe Ruben Amorim should sign is a player Manchester United were targeting even when ETH was still manager of the club. His name is: Jarrad Branthwaite. He is crucial at scoring from set pieces and has good shooting for a centre-back, he could perhaps even start over Lisandro Martinez in the LCB role. Another defender I believe Manchester United should sign is a young player that can play in the RCB and is having a blast for Monaco so far. His name is: Wilfried Singo; and he could perhaps maybe even start over Leny Yoro. DE LIGT - keep YORO - keep MARTINEZ - keep SHAW - sell MAGUIRE - sell LINDELOF - sell EVANS - sell WING-BACK Before I even get to context, I think I speak on behalf of most Manchester United fans. Diogo Dalot will not thrive if he is continuously going to be used as a LWB. Sure, he can be a future wing-back under Ruben Amorim, but he would have to be on the right side of the pitch. However, since Noussair Mazraoui is far more consistent and is in better form than Diogo Dalot at the moment, I think Dalot will be the back-up RWB as Mazraoui will be starting over him. With Diogo Dalot being converted to a RWB, the only LWB we now have is Tyrell Malacia, who I believe should be sold as well. He hasn't played professional football for 18 months and his return back at Manchester United hasn't been the best. The first player Ruben Amorim needs to sign is a LWB. There are rumours saying that Alphonso Davies could go and join Manchester United. However, his wages are too much for them to handle. I believe Amorim should buy this left-back from PSG. His name is: Nuno Mendes. Manchester United are in links with this 17-year-old left-back currently and his name is: Diego Leon. He plays as a left-back but can be used as a left-wing-back under Amorim in the future. MAZRAOUI - keep DALOT - keep MALACIA - sell ANTONY - sell MIDFIELD Ruben Amorim has 2 midfielders in his starting 11 who have two slightly different roles. One of them plays more attacking and more like an 8 while the other plays more defensive and more like a 6. The 4 players currently at Manchester United who plays in these roles are: Kobbie Mainoo, Manuel Ugarte, Christian Eriksen and Casemiro. Out of these 4 players, I would like 2 of them to go - Christian Eriksen and Casemiro. I'm sorry, but they do not have the legs to have a future at Manchester United. With them 2 gone, Kobbie Mainoo and Manuel Ugarte are the only midfielders to remain so if we're going to get rid of both Eriksen and Casemiro, we need to sign a back-up or 2. A great shout would be Morten Hjulmand. He is another player who played under Ruben Amorim back at Sporting and can play like a 6 which could be a perfect replacement for Casemiro. The other midfielder I have suggested is a bit more young but could be a back-up still for Manchester United: Ederson. MAINOO - keep UGARTE - keep ERIKSEN - sell CASEMIRO - sell INSIDE FORWARD/ATTACKING MIDFIELDER In Amorim's system, he has 2 inside forwards that play just behind the striker and could even assist them to score. The players who currently play at that position for Ruben Amorim are: Amad Diallo, Bruno Fernandes, Alejandro Garnacho, Marcus Rashford and Mason Mount. I do not see Amad Diallo getting sold as he has arguably been Manchester United's best player this season so far, neither do I see Bruno Fernandes or Alejandro Garnacho getting sold. I think it is already obvious that there is a high chance of Marcus Rashford leaving and as soon as Mason Mount joined Manchester United, the amount of games he plays decreases because of injuries so I think he should be a sell as well. There are rumours that Ruben Amorim will sign Leroy Sane as a replacement for Marcus Rashford and I don't see a problem with that. AMAD - keep FERNANDES - keep GARNACHO - keep RASHFORD - sell MOUNT - sell STRIKER Currently, there are 2 strikers at Manchester United - Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee. In Amorim's system, the striker needs to be clinical finisher and need to finish off the chances that they get. Unfortunately, Joshua Zirkzee doesn't have that in him. I believe that Rasmus Hojlund could thrive under Ruben Amorim but sometimes he can become inconsistent. I think we should demote Rasmus Hojlund to a second choice striker and to sell Joshua Zirkzee immediately. Viktor Gyokeres and Victor Osimhen are great shouts for a first-choice striker. However, Gyokeres did say in an interview that he will not join Manchester United in January and Manchester United are looking to sign Victor Osimhen, so Osimhen would be more realistic. HOJLUND - keep ZIRKZEE - sell NEW A-TEAM GK: Andre Onana (#24) RCB: Wilfried Singo (#2) CB: Matthis de Ligt (#4) LCB: Jarrad Branthwaite (#5) RWB: Noussair Mazraoui (#3) CM: Kobbie Mainoo (#37) CM: Manuel Ugarte (#25) LWB: Nuno Mendes (#19) CAM: Amad Diallo (#16) CAM: Bruno Fernandes (#8) ST: Victor Osimhen (#9) NEW B-TEAM GK: John Victor (#12) RCB: Leny Yoro (#15) CB: Ousmane Diomande (#26) LCB: Lisandro Martinez (#6) RWB: Diogo Dalot (#20) CM: Morten Hjulmand (#14) CM: Ederson (#18) LWB: Diego Leon (#27) CAM: Leroy Sane (#10) CAM: Alejandro Garnacho (#17) ST: Rasmus Hojlund (#11) (Don't expect this all to be done in January. Maybe at the end of 25/26 szn)

[@infiniteparadox]

Sam, you have talked about us getting A.Fernandez in a few videos now. While I agree to your point, the ball is in Alvaro’s court. Would he want to return back? He’s playing regularly in a title charge side currently.

[@myleshasell453]

Garna as atleti made £60 million offer rashy out £40 million olmo in on a free Nuno Mendes if psg accept offer

[@GangeloffMD]

Olmo is a huge stretch. Lad was on top of Europe barely 5 months ago, earned himself a big transfer to a big club, UCL football, the whole package. We can offer him… a wage for six months, basically, and the chance to work with a hotshot coach. Playing in the UEL and fighting to get in the top half of the table is not a tantalising prospect for one of the best players in the side that won the Euros. I’m sure Barca won’t mind sending him to a team that’s absolutely no competition for them right now while easing a financial burden, but he might want to go to a more competitive side as things stand.

[@donpapi3086]

Alvaro Fernandez is a must in January, if we could pull Dani Olmo would be awesome. Also, i´ve been looking the situation of Kolo Muani and Skriniar who don´t a have a place under Luis Henrique system so PSG are trying to loan them, this would be great because they had been interested in Rashford before so if Utd can keep a good relationship between clubs MAYBE we could make a swap + money for Nuno Mendes with Rashford involved.

[@AppleSauceGamingChannel]

Mendes is worth over 100 million. United cannot spend a lot this window unless they sell.

[@donpapi3086]

@AppleSauceGamingChannel exactly for that reason i mentioned that keeping a good relationship with PSG is crucial because this kind of deal has to be done in the winter transfer window

[@chiakaconfidence8657]

We need a finished product, not someone who is underdeveloped we need Nuno Mendes, not Alvaro Fernandez

[@GigiBalooba]

Yep, lets get another injury prone player for our left side

[@lexxihd5843]

Why would Mendes come to United. Surely there are better options for him.

[@LEWISKYRON]

I agree with the exits 100%. Honestly having the academy players wouldn't be to badly of. We need to get rid of most/some players. I rather suffer at 11th the entire season if it means we get to have a proper identity. This idea of us being top 4 with no real progress is not good enough anymore.

[@richyclubsport5155]

Alvaro isn't interested in coming back, widely reported in Portugal. Buy back means nothing if he says no.

[@fullstackpedro]

yeh that is true... also why would he not play champions league and give him better exposure and exchange that for a club that is struggling and in europa league and probably will not get European football next season

[@lj.Yannick]

I hope that Amorim realises quickly that the attitude and mentality of Bruno as a captain on the field are driving the team down rather than upward.

[@DoninSpain49]

Rashford Antony out. Incomings i leave to ineos to bring in right players. This is their first real test.

[@jackdaw.rdr2]

Ericsson was scoring goals before he got put on bench

[@TheGeneralsao]

Great plan

[@adamsafar8307]

For exits, I would add Casemiro as well, I think that's the most likely.

[@thomasmann7729]

Sam! I heard about Nuno mendes from Psg might come what about him for January as he desperately want to leave psg

[@Dbo_Sports]

Nuno or Davies are perfect for United. But they cost too much

[@crysflake]

In order to compete we need to seriously get rid of fernandes and get someone better than him. I figured out the core player of a team is the number 10. The playmaker that connects the whole team from the defense to the offense. And ever since bruno joined us, we built the team around him. That's how we identified as a team from now on. But he has lost his touch and is far too wasteful. Check out how chelsea built the team around cole palmer, bernardo silva at city, how odegard changed arsenal. It takes that one player to build around. We get a central playmaker that we build around then we will get better.

[@Leafnomad]

I’ve loved watching Cunha this season and can’t help but think he’d be a far better option than Bruno who looses the ball, often makes the wrong decision and then has a go at his teammates

[@mTLpHfumfaomd]

If Mbeumo is rated at 45m, there's no way Rashford is even worth 40m....

[@AbdulRehman_192]

Fax but i think it is becoz of experience english tax and he is a man united player

[@mTLpHfumfaomd]

@@AbdulRehman_192 I get the English tax, but that should be counter balanced with being a MU player, all of them leave for cheap. Look at Elanga,15m. And he was almost a transfer with Newcastle for 50m

[@nayimsyed4993]

I would keep Eriksen and sell Luke Shaw

[@joaolatado1153]

-If Garnacho doesn't leave somehow this January, the club is still joking around. Absolute toy story of a player. -A goalkeeper on loan is also a must to stop set piece disaster, Lunin doesn't play much for Real Madrid this year. -Kukonki to left centre back to gain aerial power, Mainoo left midfielder could work much better compared to Dalot, Bruno Fernandes centre midfield next to Ugarte as he can run and put in some decent long balls to channels for Hojlund, and try Moorhouse behind Hojlund.

[@zippsy1048]

I dont love olmo but if he is coming in a free its worth it I really dont think garnacho has a place in this team unless he shows it 😢 i really like him we need a lwb nuno mendes is a great young player

[@theoneandonlyronaldo8674]

Until the debt is removed this club will never be in a positive financial position. I would rather clear the debt and tidy up OT get the team winning titles buy out the glazers then look at the regeneration of OT say 5 to 8 years time.

[@jhpfdijtuiweruot]

Total nonsense. The finances are fine. It’s the management and spending of the finances that’s the problem. The debt is irrelevant when they have increased the value of the club by around £6billion in the last decade or so

[@SkyNet-T-1000]

100% Collyer should be selected, he played a few for Haggis! Uggy & Collyer Bruno & Mainoo as 10s This will bring more youth & energy to the MF

Alot more players need 2 go. Rashford Erikson Antony Shaw Lindelof Dalot And alot more. Bt for now thats who i feel should go.

[@nocaptcha8110]

That would be a great january to be honest, i know we all want Gyokeres (i want him the most) but the team needs to be up to his quality or at least be able to not lose their heads under pressure. Id love to gyokeres in the summer, we should move zirkzee on, he's looking like another lukaku and he's also super slow

[@Levitator07]

Like the Dani Olmo idea 👌

[@Will1aman]

If I were ineos, I'd ask Ruben to ensure we dont get relegated, then sell some surplus on Jan. I wouldn't have the main clear out and replace until the summer.

[@danielsawojka9627]

How about Gutierrez from girona? He’d be a great attacking wingback

[@dj_mibro]

We’re going to have to sell players for profit if we are to spend in january. Rashford, Amass, Gore & Wheatley should raise some funds as they are homegrown academy graduates. No matter what we sell Antony for we won’t be able to spend a penny of it unless it’s more than what we paid for him

[@sparkylights6069]

I would Sell Tyrell Malacia, christian eriksen, and rashford in January and bring in, nypan an up and coming Norwegian AM, up and coming danish LWB dorgu , and then bring in someone like ederson from atalanta in CM or even revisit richard rios. These players are young talented and play regular football, they are wanted by many clubs and i think they would fit in to the squad and players we can build around.

[@danielsawojka9627]

I’d go Gutierrez from girona as the wingback and I’d agree with olmo

[@seanallen1139]

I want to see Zirkzee and Hojlund playing together just to see if it works. Feel sorry for Hojlund, there is no supply to him but I think with Zirkzee behind might work well. Amarim always replaces them with each other. While Bruno is suspended could be perfec time to try. Nothing else seems to work

[@Lucificator]

I completely agree with you. Rashford and Antony add nothing, they need to go. I like Eriksen, but I agree that it's better to develop Collyer and Mainoo. Regarding the left-back position: the smartest move is to bring in Alvaro Fernandez and keep Malacia as a backup. Shaw needs to leave in the summer. If Alvaro plays better than Malacia (which isn't difficult), but doesn't impress as much (which is possible), then it's better to loan or sell Malacia and bring in Milos Kerkez to be the undisputed starter, with Alvaro as a backup. Olmo is a market opportunity that appeared suddenly! For the summer, I would like Alex Baena or Pedro Gonçalves, maybe Nkunku, who isn't doing well at Chelsea. However, Olmo could come in and make an immediate impact for the rest of the season. If it works, great; if not, we stick to the plan. The departure of these players would greatly help the club's finances for next season. Moreover, simply having a good left-back and a creative midfielder close to the striker would massively improve the squad. Last but not least: Kolo Muani is another market opportunity. A loan could solve our goalscoring problems, what do you think?

[@PabloViniciusOliveiraSil-yw7tt]

O United deveria vender o Collyer, pois ele é da base e uma possível venda dele, seria lucro puro para o FPF. Não adianta vender Antony, Casemiro, Mount e ninguém contratado por muito dinheiro, pois não gerará margem no FPF.

[@AndresHernandezFilms]

Why not focus more on finishers? I feel we have had great chances recently but so many struggle to score.

[@StephenMwangi-c3u]

[@callumjawall587]

I think I’m nearly down done with United and football. Just the fun is being sucked out of it. Not even the fact that we’re an awful team, that I can live with. But we’ve gone from being Commercial Club under Glazers/Woodward to being Penny Pinch Limited under Ineos. Don’t care that the glazers put us in this position, I want to support a football club and not a corporation, feels like United and a lot of teams don’t have a soul anymore. A wider football problem. I’ll still watch but just going to detach myself from caring going forward.

[@CaolanZ]

I think Dani Olmo would go to City if he moves to PL. Alvaro Fernandes is doing well but looks a bit lightweight physically. But seems like a no brainer due to buy back clause

[@Indieboyan]

Here we go again.. 😂😅 I've seen this movie before

[@Madbaboons1]

Unless we sell Rashford I can't see us signing anyone other than loans. Olmo is a good shout. Could see us going for Chillwell along the same lines but with an option to buy. Knows the EPL and can play Left Center back. Can also see us selling off some of the kids, Wheatley maybe, can't see him getting in to the first team again.

[@Tphane]

We need Osimhen in January. Also a LWB and a CAM.

[@Patrick-li7yl]

I’d try to get Osimhen in on a loan with obligation to buy and a lwb please

[@dustinmccrindle343]

If I'm correct we'd need to buy Osimehn to get him out of his current loan. At LWB: I'd prefer Patrick Dorgu to Alvaro. He can play left and right side. Similar price tag, too. That would give us an improvement between now and end of season. Then start wooing Alfonso Davies for the summer, as he's a free then. Lastly, I'm not sure why we don't try Harry Amass at all. If he needs development, loan him out for 6 months to see how he does.
