TA: Three of the remaining four Manchester United heroes are hard to sell; insist on Anthony only sells but not rents

Hupu August 26th News TheAthleticUK ace reporter David Ornstein led the lead and wrote the last weekly report in the summer window.

Mr. United's part, are there any flaws in the Manchester United lineup that may hinder Amorin's performance this season?

The away draw with Fulham on Sunday scored one more point than the loss in the first weekend, but overall, the positives were reduced.

Despite leading at Craven Farm Stadium, Manchester United failed to control the game, which gave Marco Silva's side a new advantage and also raised questions about Amorin's midfield lineup.

Bruno Fernandez, while helping Manchester United organize the offense at a deeper position, his influence in the frontcourt may be weakened, and opponents can take advantage of the gap left by this up and down tactic.

Fulham did exactly that on Sunday, as Silva and Alex Iwobi explained, they seized every opportunity to try to cross United's double midfield to break through the defensive line.

If Fernandez plays primarily in the midfield – which seems possible – he needs the right partner to reduce the risk. Despite constant contact with midfielders this summer, there is no guarantee that new players from the midfield will be in place by next Monday's deadline.

What are their positions/players?

Therefore, an athletic, dynamic midfielder has been on Manchester United's signing list all summer, and Brighton's Carlos Baleba is considered an ideal target.

Two weeks ago, Manchester United gave up their pursuit of Baleba because Brighton was reluctant to sell him this summer and asked for a transfer fee of £115 million when Moises Kesedo transferred to Chelsea in 2023.

Although alternatives such as Adam Walton and Morten Yulmander are also favored, no one has expressed interest yet.

Which players are likely to leave?

Outside Hoylen, Manchester United is expected to insist on considering only permanent sale of Anthony instead of loaning again, as Real Betis recently initiated negotiations again.

If Jaden Sancho and Maracia want to leave smoothly, they still have a lot of work to do.
