MU will fail if they don't buy more players

MU is gradually reviving.

Not just two dropped points, but three injuries, an angry coach, and a treacherous winter looming.

Behind the draw

Ruben Amorim has rarely let his frustration show so clearly. After the final whistle in London, he didn’t talk about the referee, didn’t talk about luck, just about “lack of courage”. Manchester United took the lead, controlled the ball, then lost it all. “We felt too comfortable. If we had been braver, we could have finished the game,” Amorim said, his voice calm but his eyes heavy.

The words rang like a warning. Manchester United played well in the first half. Bryan Mbeumo opened the scoring with a clever finish, then the team sat back to maintain the rhythm. But that kind of half-hearted football doesn’t work in the Premier League. When opponents rise, Manchester United instinctively retreat. Amorim saw it, and he knew it was the same old problem.

Thomas Frank's Tottenham were not tactically better, but they had belief. Mathys Tel, who was booed when he came on, equalised. Richarlison made it 2-1. The stadium erupted. Manchester United had only Matthijs De Ligt left to salvage a point in stoppage time.

De Ligt scored the equalizer 2-2 for MU against Spurs.

A meager point, in exchange for three injuries. Casemiro limped off the pitch. Harry Maguire clutched his thigh, grimacing. And the worst of all was Benjamin Sesko. The Slovenian striker had just regained his scoring touch when he collapsed, clutching his knee after a burst of speed. Manchester United had run out of substitutions, so Sesko limped off to try to finish the game. An image that made Amorim jump up on the sidelines.

After the match, Amorim said bluntly: “I am worried about the knee injury. We need Ben to be stronger.” In that voice, there was not only concern for a player, but also for the fragile system. Because Sesko is not just a striker, but a symbol of the generation that Amorim is trying to rebuild, young, strong, and unafraid.

But now the fear is back. Winter will be harsh. When the Africa Cup of Nations starts, Manchester United will be without Mbeumo, Amad Diallo and Noussair Mazraoui for almost a month. Those are three key positions. With the midfield short, the defense patchy, and the attack relying on unsettled names, Amorim knows he needs to act before the storm arrives.

“We have to check everything. We need to see when the transfer window opens whether we can improve the squad and fix what happened,” Amorim said. A light word, but with a lot of calculation. Manchester United will have to buy. Not just to fill the void, but to keep the momentum. A holding midfielder is still in the plans. Maybe in January. Maybe earlier.

Amorim made no secret of his intentions. He knew the club had made progress structurally and mentally, but lacked real character. “We are improving, but there is still work to do,” he said. The admission was not an excuse. It was more like a promise, to himself.

MU will need more new contracts.

MU must strengthen personnel

It was a small detail that said a lot. Against Spurs, Amorim continued Manchester United’s most impressive record: having at least one academy graduate in the starting line-up since 1937. This time it was Jack Fletcher. A youngster, sitting on the bench on a difficult night, but carrying the spirit of 88 years of tradition.

“At this club, there are things that must be maintained. It is the way we behave and the way we feel about the club,” Amorim said.

In an era of commercial football, such statements seem out of step. But it is precisely that “out of step” that is helping Amorim gain respect. He does not want Manchester United to be just a collection of big signings. He wants a club with a soul, one that fights for each other, fears failure, and gets back up.

The draw against Tottenham exposed flaws, but also showed that Manchester United can still unite even in adversity. Amorim doesn’t need another speech. He needs actions, players who dare to demand more from themselves. And perhaps Amorim also needs an effective winter transfer window, before English football enters its most intense period.

As he left the pitch, Amorim looked down the tunnel, where Sesko limped between two medical staff. He nodded. A silent promise: Manchester United would not fall. But to keep his word, he needed more than brave words. He needed a team strong enough to see him through the winter.
