If there is one thing that has characterized Manchester United in the transfer market for far too many years, it has been overpriced players during the summer transfer window – who have rarely delivered in the long run. In January, in a panic mood over weak results, the club has brought in emergency solutions, temporary solutions, to correct weaknesses halfway through the season. This pattern has now ended.
Matheus Cunham and Bryan Mbeumo have shown after nine Premier League games into the season that they bring a lot to the United attack, definitely two long-term reinforcements. On the line, the calm has finally descended with the signing of Senne Lammens, who already after a few games has given the United defence the necessary security to do its job. The Belgian has also lowered the blood pressure of the supporters after games with Andre Onana and Bayindir’s fumbling on the line.

Benjamin Sesko has been put to work, but needs a little more time. Overall, a very successful transfer market for United. Now Ruben Amorim promises there will be more in January, but no emergency solutions as before. Superfluous players are going out, long-term reinforcements in.
“A lot can happen. Even at our club – and you know it’s a World Cup – we have players who don’t play and therefore want to progress, so we have to deal with everything. We all want to sign players who we see a great future for Manchester United. We’re not just buying one because in December we feel like we need this type of player now. We want to sign players that we know we don’t need to change much. That’s our plan,” Amorim said according to ESPN.
