When Ralf Rangnick said in 2022 that Manchester United needed open-heart surgery, not many people paid much attention.
Today, in 2025, those words couldn’t be more true, and Ruben Amorim is the latest person to try to prove it.
There are so many things that Amorim can do to improve the current team that it makes you wonder how long it will take for him to make real changes instead of just covering up problems like the people who came before him.
He will have to be cruel for things to change, and based on his first few weeks, he doesn’t seem afraid to make tough decisions.
The Portuguese coach will have to do more than just get rid of players at the club. He will also have to work hard to bring in players of his choice.
Two big names want to join Manchester United.
iNews today says that two players, Nuno Mendes of PSG and Viktor Gyokeres of Sporting CP, really want to join Manchester United and are ready to make the move.
Both Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia are constantly hurt, which makes the left wing-back position a big problem for Manchester United. The two have had a hard time staying fit for a long time for several years now.
Nuno Mendes, who is worth about £58m, is our “top pick” because he is the best person for the job.
It’s not a surprise that the former Lions boss wants to sign Viktor Gyokeres from his old club. The player could be available for around £60 million.
The Swedish player has scored the most goals in Portugal and would be a better choice than players like Hojlund and Zirkzee.
Man United would be doing great business if they could get both Nuno Mendes and Gyokeres, but they will have to make a lot of other big deals in order to pay around £118 million for them.
Erik ten Hag mostly signed players that he had coached before he got the job at Old Trafford.
