Gary Neville insisted that Manchester United needs at least five Signs This summer it is to build a squad that is better suited for Ruben Amorim’s play style.
The Red Devils legend was one of many links that were underwhelmed by United’s 0-0 with Manchester City on Sunday, which Amorim suffered from a lack of high missions.
Continue to speak Sky SportAfter Neville had raised the reporting on the game after the game, he softened his attitude and supported Amorim’s change to a negative style of play. The manager just doesn’t have the players who are needed to do their preferred 3-4-3 setup work.
“From the united’s point of view, I understand why he went back to a low block,” Neville began. “But we saw that from Jose Mourinho, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Erik Ten Hag. They all intend to play high -pressure and energy -efficient football, but everyone returns to a low block in large games.
“I understand why Ruben Amorim did this today with the players he has because he didn’t get the players to adapt. They need five new players before they even think about the rest.
“The three in advance are not good enough and the two wing back, they are not good enough. They need five players. They have to serve five players who are good enough in this system to play his system as he wants it.”
Striker Rasmus Hojlund only managed 15 touches before he was addicted to 70 minutes, while the wing player Alejandro Garnacho also struggled. Bruno Fernandes started in the attack next to the couple and seems to be individually impressive, but better to be a deeper role in the side.
At Wing-Back, the signing by Patrick Dorgu was recruited in January especially for Amorim’s system, but had a mixed start to life in Old Trafford, while there were already plans for an upgrade to Diogo Dalot on the right side of the defense.
Before the game, Amorim admitted his wish to sign one or two “big players” to bring his squad back in the right direction.
“When I say ‘big players’, I don’t say about Real Madrid, they are big players in the way I see the game,” said the United boss.
