It was revealed that Amorim has asked Manchester United to sign three people in the winter window! De Ligt could fall out of favour and Marcus Rashford is also dangerous

If Ruben Amorim becomes United's new manager, many of Ten Hag's remaining players are likely to fall out of favour, and the 39-year-old Portuguese boss will certainly bring in the players he wants. British media claim that De Ligt could be one of the players under immediate pressure. It has been reported that Amorim has already mentioned to the Red Devils hierarchy in talks that he wants to bring in three of his Sporting disciples in the January transfer window.

Sporting beat Nacional Funchal 3-1 on Tuesday night, with fans giving a standing ovation to Amorim as he walked to the dugout, knowing full well that he was about to leave, whether it was his last game or not. Manchester United are willing to pay €10 million for him to break his contract, and TeamTalk sources even claim that Amorim has made some transfer requests.

It is reported that Manchester United's hierarchy has been informed that Amorim wants to bring in three players from Sporting de Portugal: centre-back Goncalo Inacio, and Marcus Edwards and Pedro Goncalves, who can play wide and midfield.

Among them, left-footed centre-back Inácio could pose a threat to De Ligt and Lisandro Martinez, both of whom are definitely descendants of Ten Hag. The 24-year-old joined Manchester United from Bayern Munich this summer, and has continued one of the curses of his career: he has welcomed a new manager every season since making his debut for Ajax in 2016.

Ironically, Ten Hag's dismissal was closely linked to De Ligt, who was the subject of a controversial penalty in stoppage time against West Ham United that led to the Reds' shut-out and the club announced a change of manager the day after the game.

Amorim likes to play in a three-man centre-back, and if he brings in a centre-back of his own, plus Sir Jim Ratcliffe's handpicked Lenny Yoro from Real Madrid, De Ligt will have to compete with Lisandro Martinez for a first-choice centre-back spot in the future.

As for Edwards and Gonsalves, both have played in the Premier League, and they are very comprehensive, the 25-year-old England player Edwards mainly plays the right winger and midfielder, and the 26-year-old Gonsalves is the left winger and midfielder, which reflects Amorim's requirements for wingers, because it is a 3421 formation, both wingers and wingbacks must defend actively, which is what Rashford, Garnacho and other Manchester United wingers are not good at now, or even like to do.

Therefore, if United's existing attacking players do not get rid of their habit of only attacking and not defending for many years, there will be no place in the new manager's system. Ten Hag's first goal conceded in the final game before the start of the class was a mistake by Garnacho at the back.

In the past, United have pampered their players too much, wanting to make sure they are having fun, but they have contributed to the bad trend. Former Academy talent Mason Greenwood, who was sold this summer, suffered a setback at Marseille as a result. Although he scored six goals, he was replaced by coach De Zerbi at half-time in last week's match against Paris Saint-Germain due to his lack of defence. De Zerbi had supported 22-year-old Aoki when he signed him in the summer window, saying that he would treat him as his own child, however, when the England striker made a mistake, the "father" did not condone it.

Mason Greenwood lost possession before his side conceded the first goal, but he walked slowly back and watched the Grand Paris open the scoring. In the third goal, he also made a passing error. De Zel rebuked after the game: "I don't like the way he plays. If we want to compete for the title, the players have to give it their all in every game. He's a good boy, but I expect more from him tonight."
