TA said Manchester United are satisfied with their transfer this summer and mentioned the inside story of goalkeeper Onana leaving the team on loan.
Manchester United only scored 44 goals in the Premier League last season, and the joining of Cunha and Mbermo is expected to improve this situation. Although Sheshko has not yet started in the league, head coach Amorin has seen him as a forward role for years to come. And 23-year-old goalkeeper Lamons is expected to solve a problem position. Meanwhile, Onana has agreed to join Trabzon Sports on loan for one season.
In terms of players leaving the team, Manchester United sent away four members of the "Five-Man Bomb Squad": Rashford, Garnacho, Sancho and Anthony. Despite the decisive cleaning of these players sending clear messages about the importance of team harmony, it undoubtedly handed over the bargaining chips to the buyers’ club, pushing down their selling price and delaying their departure.
Garnacho sold to Chelsea for £40 million, setting a record for transfer fees for Manchester United's youth training players, but this price could have been higher if it weren't for Manchester United's rush to sell. Anthony's 25 million euros price is also slightly lower.
However, TA mentioned that not all problems have been solved. Although the midfielder is the position that Manchester United plans to strengthen, they did not strengthen at that position in the end.
Amorin is satisfied? Amorin only expressed positive views on Manchester United's transfer business. He praised the impact of Cunya and Mbermo on the court and around the training ground, as well as Sheshko's professionalism and potential.
However, his goalkeeper's first choice this summer is Villa's Big Martin, a more expensive option than Lamens, but with leadership and top experience. When asked about midfield signings, Amorin said: "I'm very happy with our players. We have different types of players in this position and we're ready to use existing players to win any game."
Priorities for the January winter window? The midfielder is the obvious choice, although it is too early to tell whether United will restart the pursuit of Brighton player Baleba. United tried to get to Baleba through the middleman last month, but Brighton made it clear in a direct conversation between the club that they planned to keep the 21-year-old for at least another season.
Why was Onana rented out? Manchester United had no intention of signing goalkeeper when the summer window opened, but the situation changed when Onana returned to compete in the preseason. He reported a hamstring problem, which caused the staff to question his physical condition. For Amorin, the setback left a lasting impression, resulting in Baindel starting in the first three Premier League games.
Onana wants to get a new contract after returning to Manchester United. He has been holding this view after being cut by 25% for failing to qualify for the Champions League, and this position has not been recognized by Amorin. However, Manchester United did not try to sell him, only Monaco showed real interest, but chose to withdraw after being told the minimum asking price was £30m.
After the match against Fulham in August, Onana's representative asked again if United wanted them to seek a departure plan, but was told not to do so. However, at that time, Manchester United had already started the deal to sign Lamons.
After Ramens joined, the club's talks with Onana's representative made it clear to the players that he was welcome to find options to get more stable playing time, but was happy to keep him. Eventually, Onana agreed to the offer from Trabzon Sports.
