Manchester United Thread 25/26 - Teamtalk/Transfers/Gossip Mod Note in OP 26.09.24

While I agree we look more solid, some serious work is needed on set pieces.

The lack of interest in Rashford probably affected this window quite badly. Only a loan deal 25 hours from deadline.

RIght now for Amorim his biggest thiing is going to be keeping Shaw and Dorgu fit - but it would be a miracle if he kept Shaw fit. With Martinez out for a long time and the running he will need from Dorgu, its gonna be a large part if why the rest of the season improves or gets worse.

Its also why Big Ange should be geting a lot of side eye for the injuries at Spurs.

Tel saga...... Sounds like an Israeli football club...... No? Ok

I wouldn't say he is top of any lists after his time at united so far which would totally discount the argument.

Also are you really subscribed to the times in England? Did you even read the article linked

What about the injury record at united under him has you critical of him?

Shaw I wouldn't blame on him. Martinez?

I feel we've the most healthy squad we've had in years so interested to understand why you think his ability to keep players fit has gone from evaluated as the best (under considered coaches) to far lower?

I'm not critical of him I'm thinking you missed my point, would he still be top of that list after his time at united that's my question.

I couldn't read the article linked because I not registered to the times in England so why I had to ask the question, what are the parameters who is making them.

It was just a link dump, essentially with no info given.

So would his time at united still have him high on the list that's my question. Does injuries happening regardless effect the ranking. I do think things have been better but also in the past did ten hagg lots of injuries at past clubs did they clear up after he left? Was it just at united he has?

No info? Did you read the post or the contents of the tweet it linked? Bizarre.

The tweet in the post directly said what the post was talking about.

Amorim was evaluated number 1 for player availability.

The post then commented on it with respect to EtH and the injuries we suffered under his management.

So your comment about him no longer being top of such lists seemed to directly say his usage of players and subsequent injuries was an issue.

This is a weird response, genuinely no offence intended to you but honestly did you actually read what I wrote?

Yes, I am subscribed to The Times, it’s €5 per year and has Irish news on Sunday’s along with good sports journalism & other content that surprisingly you don’t need to be English to enjoy. What has that got to do with anything?

What would you say about how Amorim’s time at United so far that discounts the “argument” about him being highly rated for player availability? I hope you will have the courtesy to answer that at least.

Did I read the article? No, I opened it and looked for the relevant section about Amorim. It’s a very small tidbit in an article all about Richard Hughes & Liverpool, I don’t have interest in the rest of it and it has no relevance to the point. So that is not some kind of “gotcha moment”. Here is the piece:

Ok I'll try once more would his time at united still see him top of the list?

I'm not blaming him but he now has major injuries to mount, Martinez, I think McGuire, linderoff, Evans have been out injured under him.

What are the parameters for the list? Does his injury record at united prove ten hagg was causing injuries.

If you can't answer my questions I'm not sure why you are replying that's bizarre to me anywyas

Amass staying at the club, no suitable loan can be found.

I said it “somewhat confirms” re EtH. That’s just my opinion, that EtH played a role in it and it wasn’t just poor luck all of the time.

You don’t need the read the article, it was a single paragraph and it’s been provided to you.

To keep it simple; 2 things

1. I feel EtH was more responsible than not for the injury issues - and it wasn’t bad luck. I can’t prove it. It’s in the past anyway and probably not worth going over.
2. I believe it is a good sign for the future under Amorim, in terms of player availability, that he was scored the highest in Europe in that regard by the person responsible for recruiting Liverpool’s new manager (at the time). Would he still be high on the list? Probably yeah. IF he ends up having lots of injuries over time at United then yeah of course you would look at absolving both managers of blame and it somehow being a club thing but let’s wait to see if that happens or not.

He played for the U18’s the other day when City won 4-0. I genuinely had forgotten about him for a bit. Turns 18 in March. Curious to see how it plays out for him but with Dorgu & Leon being signed, I wonder how the club see his future at the club. Wilcox & Brailsford were there to watch as well. Before I’m asked by anyone, no I didn’t see the full game and I’m not subscribed to MUTV 😅

Seemed to be on course for a few games under ETH, I reckon he'll be sold for PSR purposes, rumours of Villa sniffing around him. I don't think he fits the big and strong build the club seems to be aiming for.
