Agreed, get some wing backs in, another midfielder even on loan, just to rotate and provide options. That will help a lot more than panicking to get Osimhen in

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.

Including Shaw in a potential lineup is utterly bonkers at this point.
You are not in the real world.
Basically you’ve added a striker and think that alone will take us from bottom half to top 4.
Delusional.
You're forgetting the two other new players he added, Fernandez and Shaw
He's making the point that the manager is under performing
Seeing as you're playing left back as a number 10 the right manager is ten Hag?
I think most sensible people realise this squad is not a good one. People can only keep blaming the manager for so long. The squad is justifiably a midtable one.
This is brilliant.
My point is that Amorim is massively underachieving.
The formation does not suit the current squad, and Amorim has shown no evidence that he is the right man for the rebuilding job or that his system warrants support in the upcoming transfer windows.
With the addition of a quality center forward and an experienced manager, I believe we could easily return to the top six, possibly even the top four.
Surely managers like Van Gaal, Mourinho, Solskjær, or even Moyes would guide us to a top-six finish in their first season.
Amorim is simply not the right man for the job.
4-2-3-1
Onana
Dalot Maguire Martinez Shaw
Ugarte Mainoo
Diallo Fernandez Rashford
Osihmen/Gyokeres
Including a bench like this
Mazraoui (can cover both R back and L Back, when Shaw is injured)
Malacia
Yoro
de Ligt
Casemiro
Mount
Antony
Garnacho
Højlund
Zirkzee
That's not a bad team. And he shouldn’t be out of top 6 with a decent striker.
Where Ole’s team any better? We finished second 202-21. This is the lineup who played the most matches.
De Gea
Wan-Bissaka lindelof Maguire Shaw
Fred McT
Rashford Fernandez Greenwood
Cavani
Conclusion: Amorim is the most underachieving manager post Sir Alex.
He needs to get more out of the players he got. And with a decent striker he should finish in top 4. If he can’t do that, he’s not the right manager for Manchester United.

That is not a realistic line up, Shaw isn't getting fit for more than a few games and is more of a LCB nowadays. Rashford has downed tools without even trying, do we realistically think he would battle it out all season for top 4?
Mainoo seems too static in a midfield 2, most of that team played for ETH and mostly relied on MC Tominay specials. It is not the formation, it is the players, McTominay just papered over the cracks last season and they finished 8th, without him they were 13th.
We are still in that position and the new manager has tried everything with them:
*Covering for them in the media
*Friendly approach
*Stern approach
*Let's see if the hairdryer works.
Adding a Gyokeres type won't fix the core issues. Most of that lot need gone. Don't get me started on Onana!
This season is a write off and we see many longing for turning back on manager and system rollback to 4-3-3 instead of fixing core issues.
Let's start with:
1. Get rid of massively underachieving and overpaid "stars".
2. Bring in young players with potential but don't overpay on potential or wages.

Getting it back on topic hasn't he come out and said he has no intention of ending loan in January
Apart from what he did at Sporting
You put Greenwood on the left and Rashford on the right. I'm not taking this post seriously.
This is pound for pound one of the worst posts I’ve seen on this site in the last 5yrs. No offense.
Fred and McT wrong way around too!
Never followed him, how is he doing? Form and injuries? Is he still highly rated?
It’s much better for us to sell Garnacho then swap him as he’s an academy product, if we sold Garnacho at £60 million and bought Osimhen for £60 million it would do wonders for us PSR wise as Garnacho would go down on the books as a straight £60 million whilst Osimhen would be amortised over 5 years so £12 million a year thus meaning a profit of £48 million on the books.
Lots of good stats so far in the turkish league - but anyone actually watched him on how he is off the ball, in the build up?
Some of his goals so far.
3 Penalties and a lot of headers (which he wont get under us + there's no space for many of those goals in Premier League), then some good striking of the ball.
Is he what we need? Any actual watchers on how he's played (without the goals)?
Would do wonders for Zirkzee or Højlund's development to be behind a seasoned striker. Would be another high risk / high wage signing however.

Still wonder are we even interested?
