Manchester United s crux of the problem: goalkeeper makes frequent mistakes + midfielder lacks creativity + forwards cannot score goals

Although more than ten hours have passed, Xiao Ou still wants to talk about Manchester United's 1-1 Fulham game.

B Fei kicked the penalty kick away in the first half. Although Manchester United took the lead in the second half with Yoro's header, they were eventually equalized by Smith Ronaldo. Fortunately, Fulham didn't win the game further.

What we see is more like a recurrence of disaster last season than what Amorin called the "road to redemption." A goalkeeper who makes frequent mistakes, a captain who drags himself down because he does too much, a group of midfielders who cannot create opportunities, and a forward line who has been unable to score goals - this is the epitome of Manchester United last season.

Manchester United spent £200 million this summer to introduce three strikers, Cunha, Mbemo and Sesco, which is more threatening on paper than last season. But if the forward can't get the ball, no matter how powerful it is, it's useless.

Cunha had at least two good chances in the first half, one hitting the post and the other was saved by goalkeeper Leno. But there was no performance afterwards.

Mbemo frequently wasted physical fitness in the fruitless run, and Sesco provided some fulcrum after making his debut in the second half, but the three were bought to score goals and turn the draw into victory, rather than just injecting vitality into the offensive third zone. The reason is behind them - from goalkeeper to midfield, the overall level looks worse than that of the midfield team, let alone the level of the qualifying team to the Champions League.

Let's talk about the goalkeeper first. Against Arsenal, Baindel handled a mistake in defending a corner kick, which directly led to Calafiori's goal. Despite this, Amorin continued to start his game against Fulham instead of enabling the regained Onana. Of course, Onana has made many mistakes, but at least it is more reliable than Baindel.

When the opponent took a corner kick, Baindel seemed in a hurry, and Fulham's players kept rushing and interfering with him at critical moments. The top goalkeeper should be able to solve this problem, but Baindel fell to the ground repeatedly.

An unreliable goal will weaken the team, and the same is true for a midfielder who cannot run or create.

B has the ability to run and create opportunities, but he is obviously unable to do so on the defensive end. The bigger problem is: he has to do two jobs by himself. Because Casemiro and Ugat who came on the bench either couldn't run or pass the ball (Ugat was neither good enough).

Mount is a talented player, but he is neither a traditional midfielder nor a pure striker. In order to share the burden of B's ​​fee, Amorin could only arrange Mount in the frontcourt when starting, but this is obviously not what Manchester United really needs.

What Manchester United needs more is a midfielder who can cover a large range in the defense three zones, so that B will concentrate on delivering shells for the forward. Unfortunately, B's expenses are missing each other, and Amorin has not yet found the best way to use him.
