Goalkeeper André Onana has moved towards a successful signing amid the necessary purchases, a date when captain Fernandes is likely to begin taking charge.
Amorim is famous for its three-man defensive system, but there are many candidates to run at this position.
Matthijs de Ligt has not yet been convinced after his progress since the Bayern Munich appointment. Lisandro Martínez demonstrated his rarity of discipline with a wild late challenge on Cole Palmer, which saw him lucky to forgo a video review associated with just a yellow card. It used to be an unfortunate problem closely linked to malicious intentions.
Amorim may also wish to rebuild a chaotic midfield that has of late outgrown cover for a vulnerable defence, leaving United too often with the forgiveness of opponents in a position to run straight through them.
He may feel there is room to build on youngsters Hojlund and Garnacho and the recently injured Kobbie Mainoo, but, in a month’s time, he will want to embark on a root and departmental rebuild, which will again be of value to co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his Used Trafford hierarchy.
The disarray at the heart of United’s recruitment strategy manifested itself most clearly in the performance of Chelsea’s Moisés Caicedo, the great player of the game who deservedly scored the equalizer with a dehydrated volley from the threshold of pitch four minutes after Fernandes struck. the place.
United passed up the opportunity to sign the 23-year-old when he was at Independiente del Valle in Ecuador. Brighton did well to sign Caicedo for £4.5m in February 2021, where he excelled to such an extent that he was the most expensive player in the Premier League when he moved to Chelsea for £115m at the start of the final season.
United have wasted money this month, most notably the ridiculous £82m on Ajax’s Antony, largely a Ten Hag production, as Joshua Zirkzee still doesn’t seem to justify the £36m the Outcast coach paid Bologna to sign him. his Dutch compatriot in the middle of summer.
Amorim may even have to decide what to do with Van Nistelrooy. Obviously enjoying his month in the spotlight, his wild birthday celebration of the United game was one of the highlights of the moment. A jump and a run upset the touchline before pounding his fists at the ecstatic fans.
Will Amorim want to preserve a relic of the Ten Hag regime, albeit a United legend, or will he protect his ordinary, close-knit staff of backroom workers?
This is a thorny decision given Van Nistelrooy’s esteemed standing among United fans, but it is certainly an unused start, the pristine broom returning from Lisbon to a blank.
It all adds up to a mammoth job in front of Amorim when he finally walks through the doors of United’s training headquarters in Carrington in just over a month.
Amorim wants better players, better recruitment, as well as month and patience. He realized this more clearly when he turned off the television on Sunday night.
This is an accumulation to be reckoned with in Manchester United’s wave of decreased cases, as demonstrated by this efficiency.
