Manchester United's squad is expected to undergo many changes next season. |
After a disappointing start marked by a series of inconsistent results, the Portuguese coach is under pressure to undertake a complete overhaul if he wants to realize his signature 3-4-3 tactical philosophy.
Currently, most players in the MU squad don't really fit into Amorim's system. The striking partnership of Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee lacks the necessary sharpness, while on the wings, where players capable of tirelessly attacking and defending are needed, there's a shortage of quality personnel.
Players like Diogo Dalot and Noussair Mazraoui only perform adequately, not enough to fill the physically demanding wing-back role requiring high levels of tactical awareness. Therefore, Manchester United will certainly need to strengthen their squad in the summer of 2025.
In attack, Ollie Watkins is seen as an ideal addition. With 43 goals in the last two seasons, the Aston Villa striker promises to help MU solve their finishing problems. Notably, Marcus Rashford's future is uncertain, and a swap deal is entirely possible.

MU could use Rashford as part of a swap deal for Watkins to save on costs. |
In addition, Southampton's young talent Tyler Dibling, despite being only 19 years old, is also being considered as a long-term investment, although his £100 million valuation is a significant challenge for the Old Trafford club.
In defense, Bayer Leverkusen's tenacious Jeremie Frimpong emerges as a strong candidate for the right wing-back position. On the opposite side, Luke Shaw remains a quality option if fit enough. In that case, Patrick Dorgu would be a backup option.
Goncalo Inacio, a former pupil of Amorim at Sporting, is seen as a strategic link in the center of the defense, partnering with Harry Maguire and young star Leny Yoro. In goal, although still controversial, Andre Onana may continue to be trusted as the transfer budget needs to prioritize other positions.
An ideal lineup in Amorim's 3-4-3 formation could be Onana - Inacio, Maguire, Yoro - Frimpong, Mainoo, Ugarte, Shaw - Fernandes, Watkins, Dibling.
Amorim's success at Old Trafford depends not only on tactics, but also on whether Manchester United can bring in the right player, in the right role, at the right time.
