Bryan Mbeumo to Man United is as close to a sure-thing signing as you’ll get. PL-proven, physical, smart — and fits exactly what Amorim wants from his #10s. Let’s break down: 🔺Some of his goals from last season 🔺Why he’s a natural fit in Amorim’s system 🔴THREAD🔴

My thoughts on Manchester United, Michael Carrick and Bruno Fernandes after the 4–1 defeat to Como. I can talk about tactics all day, but what I watched last night went far beyond a tactical problem. There is something seriously wrong at Manchester United. 🔴THREAD 🧵

INEOS haven’t helped matters. For all the positive messaging about the rebuild, United still have serious issues with squad balance and defensive depth. Talking about signing defenders next summer doesn’t solve the problems Carrick is dealing with now. The recruitment strategy deserves serious scrutiny.

FINAL THOUGHTS Bruno’s comments were the final straw for me. Carrick deserves criticism for aspects of his game model. INEOS deserve criticism for recruitment and squad planning. But these players haven’t earned the right to publicly question the manager while failing to deliver the basics on the pitch. You can talk tactics all day. But without intensity, urgency, work rate and collective responsibility, tactics mean absolutely nothing. Manchester United didn’t lose 4–1 because of a tactical system alone. They lost because of a lack of intensity, character and collective responsibility. And that is a far bigger problem.
