Manchester United’s terrible 2025 continues
Amorim’s arrival at Outdated Trafford has performed little or no to enhance issues on the Theatre of Desires, and their newest 2-0 defeat to Crystal Palace left the Purple Devils marooned thirteenth within the Premier League.
A spot in Europe subsequent season seems out of the query for the Purple Devils, although they continue to be properly away from any relegation hazard with Leicester Metropolis a full 12 factors behind them within the closing drop zone spot.
It was a troublesome January switch window too. The Purple Devils landed younger Lecce defender Patrick Dorgu in a deal value as much as £30m, however in Antony and Marcus Rashford misplaced two forwards, whereas hypothesis continued to swirl round Alejandro Garancho earlier than he finally stayed put.
Although neither Rashford nor Antony featured closely in Amorim’s plans, it has left United with none depth on the prime of the pitch, and with neither Rasmus Hojlund nor Joshua Zirkzee insipring confidence with their performances, the United boss opted to play Kobbie Mainoo as a no.9 towards Palace, a transfer that in flip leaves their midfield trying mild.

Enterprise is not fairly over at Outdated Trafford….
Hailed as a “sturdy” by former Sporting Director Monchi, Luiz had been heavily linked with Manchester City, but it surely was the Purple Devils who tried a buzzer-beating swoop for the Brazilian. The report claims that “they made a last-minute method to Juventus” to take the midfielder again to the Premier League.
Nevertheless, they have been too late. Juventus had already let Nicolò Fagioli depart for Fiorentina and consequently “determined to retain the Brazilian” for canopy, with the bid coming too late for them to signal a substitute.
As a substitute, Juventus moved so as to add to their defence with a deal to sign Lloyd Kelly, protecting Luiz in limbo and leaving Manchester United wanting one in all their switch targets.
