According to the Mirror, Amorim knows that he is currently just tinkering with the team's midfield tactics. After the end of this season, he plans to reshape Manchester United's midfield configuration through signings.
B Fee is still the core and most influential player in Manchester United's midfield. Brazilian veteran Casemiro has recently been reborn. The 34-year-old veteran can still contribute. Mount can also perform occasionally.
But Amorim knew that in the midfield area, which determines the outcome of major games, he was only temporarily covering up the problem. Ugarte and Dalot are not up to the top level, and Menu's career decline is even faster than F1 driver Verstappen's reverse.
Before agreeing to take charge of Manchester United, Amorim revealed that he had been paying attention to the fate of this English giant since he was young. He knows better than most that United's most successful ever team has always been defined by a legendary midfield duo.
For example, the quartet of Keane, Nicky Butt, Scholes and Beckham created by Sir Alex Ferguson, and they are also assisted by Ryan Giggs. This legendary quartet helped Manchester United win the Treble in 1999 and numerous trophies. Earlier, Ferguson also had midfield stars like Robson and Paul Ings who controlled the game.
Now Amorim has to pay huge sums of money to rebuild the midfielder. Manchester United's management started to solve the offensive deficiencies last summer window, and next summer will focus on transforming the core of the team. Director of football Wilcox is working closely with Amorim to draw up a list of signings.
The targets include Brighton's Baleba, and Manchester United made preliminary inquiries half a year ago. Other targets include England international Adam Walton, Wolves star Joao Gomez and Stuttgart star Stiller.
In short, Amorim wants to form a young, energetic and capable midfielder. These targets are all expensive, with Baleba valued at £115 million.
Sir Ratcliffe has been committed to financial balance in the 18 months since he took office. Through comprehensive layoffs and reductions in player wages, the Ineos boss knows that the midfield reinforcement plan also depends on the effectiveness of cost-saving in the future stage.
The contracts of high-paid players Sancho, Casemiro and Maguire are about to expire. Sancho will leave the team for free, and Casemiro and Maguire must accept a salary cut if they want to stay with the team. The club are also convinced that Marcus Rashford's £325,000-a-week salary will be removed with a move to Barcelona. If all four of these players leave the team, they will save 1 million pounds in salary expenses every week, and Rashford's transfer fee will also bring additional income.
