A short time ago, it seemed completely impossible that Manchester United would manage four games in a row in the Premier League without a loss. – The situation is clearly better and confidence in Ruben Amorim’s project is increasing.
As Sky Sports says: “Manchester United are starting to reflect Rúben Amorim’s ideas on the pitch and he is gradually forming a more organised, competitive and confident team.”

We’ll see if it holds up on Monday as well, when they host Everton at Old Trafford.
Manchester United’s plans for further growth
Manchester United have evolved thanks to a significant investment in the previous transfer window, which strengthened their goalkeeping and attacking line, two areas that needed urgent solutions.
The arrival of Senne Lammens has brought calm to the goal, while the new attacking trio of Benjamin Šeško, Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha is already starting to produce positive results.
Mbeumo stands out the most with his speed and consistency, while Cunha shows flashes of great quality, while Šeško, on the other hand, has had more difficulty adapting, and a muscle injury will keep him out for almost a month.
This uneven start has led to criticism, but the club is confident that he will be able to perform at his best when he is fully back.
A strong commitment: 280 million for a strengthened midfield
Manchester United’s sports project aims to take a step forward by strengthening the midfield with an investment of approximately 280 million kroner, an amount that shows the club’s ambitions.
According to AS, the names on the list are Carlos Baleba, Adam Wharton and Elliot Anderson, three young players with different styles who could fit well into Rúben Amorim’s idea.

Clear targets in the transfer market
Carlos Baleba, who is currently at Brighton, is the most expensive player of the three. His price exceeds 100 million kroner, and he will be a key element in strengthening defensive efforts.
Adam Wharton, who excels at Crystal Palace, will bring composure with the ball and game understanding, qualities the team needs to control matches.
Elliot Anderson, on the other hand, who was brought to Nottingham Forest for around £40m, stands out for his energy, running from deep and ability to break down defensive lines.
If the club manages to secure all three signings, the total cost will exceed 300 million kroner, although the original idea is not to exceed the 280 million allocated to the midfield improvement plan.
Manchester United’s board believes that strengthening this area will help the team at a time when Rúben Amorim’s project is starting to show clear results in the Premier League.
After 11 league rounds, the team has 18 points, just one point away from the places in the UEFA Champions League, and is eight points behind the league leader, a situation that gives reason for optimism for the time after the international break.
This rebuilding process takes time, but significant steps are being taken, and the squad is showing signs of development despite the ups and downs of the past few seasons.
The club’s intention is to move forward by taking advantage of the upcoming transfer window to complete a squad that aims to compete for titles.
Manchester United’s future will largely depend on how they handle this £280 million, a sum that could completely change the level of their midfield, and therefore their chances of competing for all titles again.
