I can't really comment on #1 but I imagine the not passing involves Garnacho/Hojlund is some capacity. Both of them are largely a dead end for our attacks because ironically both of them need a team mate who can create space/chances for them.
This still doesn't change the larger point I was making in my post that United simply have to sign attacking players who can play 1v1. Madrid have 3 of them (more if you include Endrick/Arda) and it's frankly absurd that United are 19th in the premier league for this.
Gyokeres literally has the two highest performing players in Portugal for this category as team mates. Ir's the equivalent of a striker lining up in La Liga with Vinicus on one wing and Yamal on the other. To think he's going to move from a team that ranks #1 in this category to #19 and replicate the same sort of form is sheer ignorance. Ratagui has Lookman and De Ketelaere.
There has NEVER been a single team that has won the champions league without at least one forward capable of completing 2+ dribbles per game. Madrid with Vini/Benzema or Ronaldo/Bale. Barca with Messi/Neymar/Suarez, Bayern with Robben/Ribery or Sane/Coman/Gnabry. Liverpool with Salah/Mane I could go on and on. There's just no such thing as an elite attack without players capable in this area and United have gone from having fairly average players in this department like Rashford/Sancho to historically bad with Garnacho.
Yes we need wingbacks, we also need at least two centre backs and two wingers along with a new goalkeeper and a striker but since it's incredibly unlikely we can sign all of these players in one window we're going to have to prioritise.
Now if you think the priority is to sign a box to box midfielder then I think you're bonkers. Priority #1 and #2 is wingers who are actually capable of creating on their own. As soon as we have these you will no longer have midfielders passing the ball into the abyss. We have midfielders who actually put up very good numbers for their position unfortunately they're on the same team as forwards putting up borderline league 1 numbers, the solution isn't to replace the midfielders it's to go buy some better forwards.
Sign Cunha from Wolves, bring in Kevin Lopes from Shaktar or Cherki at Lyon. Sign Eze from Palace and use him as a 10 but the one characteristic they must have is the ability to dribble and create chances.
As far as right wing backs are concerned if United spend close to reported number on Quenda then we deserve everything we get. Luis Henrique plays right wing back for Marseille under De Zerbi and is a much more established player. Sign Vanderson who plays right back at Monaco but has excellent numbers.

Amorim should be describing the profile of player he needs and the recruitment team should go and get it. Or sign a right winger and use Amad as the wing back as he was excellent there.
Over and over I hear fans saying "why can't we recruit like Liverpool/Brighton or Bournemouth" and when you point out how these teams all use a data driven approach that fan is all for it until said data disagrees with their eye test hot take. If you want a data driven signing for right wing back then you don't sign Quenda, certainly not for rumoured numbers. Nor do you spend big money on a box to box midfielder when the data clearly highlights the areas of the squad that need to be massively improved for that midfielder to perform the way you want.
The ideal summer would look something like Cunha+ another forward then Huijsen/Vanderson. I doubt we'd have much money after that if those players were even an option. If not then Aleksandro Riberiro at Lille who had an excellent partnership with Yoro or Zabarnyi at Bournmouth.
