Part of the problem at Old Trafford is because we understand that Manchester United stars don’t understand how to play the way many Ruben Amorim wants them to play. – Or as the BBC’s football experts explained it: “At Sporting, Ruben Amorim had great success varying between 3-4-2-1, ahead of 3-4-3, with 3-5-2 being the only one else using. It’s difficult, almost impossible to do in the middle of a season”
The hope now is that this season will be a “parenthesis” in the history of Manchester United and that the club will be back at its best next season.
The plan now is to unload enough players so that Manchester United can make the necessary changes to the squad.
Sky Sports reports that Manchester United have opened talks with Lecce over a transfer for 20-year-old Danish left-back Patrick Dorgu. – Ruben Amorim considers Dorgu to be a strong signing and is said to be a keen driver of a transfer. One reason is that he is used to playing wing-back in a three-back line.
Italian journalist Matte Moretto writes that Lecce prefer to keep Dorgu until the summer, but a bid of €35 million should be enough to convince the Italians to let go of the Dane now.
Moreover, Lecce has trouble scoring goals, while they are well covered in their back line.
