On Sunday, Christian Eriksen, Jonny Evans and Victor Lindelöf were thanked for service, the latter for long service. The Manchester United squad is thinned out, pretty much all players are available for sale if the right bid comes. At the same time, the club is strongly linked to Cunha and Delap, where signings are said to be just around the corner. A lot of activity, but what exactly is the plan of Amotim and the United management for the coming season?
The Manchester United players and Amorim got on the plane to Malaysia the day after the 2-0 win at Old Trafford, now they will earn the necessary extra income from friendly matches, sale of supporter items, etc. in Asia. Totally uninterested for United supporters here at home, but there is a statement from Amorim that tells about the plan for the coming season.

“We always draw up two plans. With and without the Champions League. Without the Champions League, we don’t need a big squad either,” Amorim begins, according to Sky Sports.
In a build-up phase for Amorim, there is also something positive (on top of all the sporting and financial misery) about not having the match schedule packed with matches out in Europe.
“We can control the squad in a better way. Then we have a plan to bring in some new players, but our big plan is to improve the team we have and improve the academy,” says the United manager.

Okay, then we have:
A smaller and more manageable squad
A few new players
Great focus on getting better with existing players
Better utilization of academy players
It didn’t take Amorim many days to shake off the season, now all focus is on trimming, reinforcing and aligning the United squad to be equipped for the season where the Premier League code will be cracked for Amorim.
