"One of the most notable shifts under Amorim has been the abandonment of the traditional back four in favour of a 3-4-3 system. This change has had a direct impact on recruitment strategy, pushing United toward defenders who are comfortable on the ball, quick across the ground, and capable of operating in wider spaces. While the immediate is expected to be the signing of a left wing-back and a central midfielder,"
"Beyond his defensive quality and leadership, Guehi also helps United meet homegrown player requirements, an increasingly important factor in squad construction. United are also casting an eye toward the future. Honest Ahanor, the highly rated 17-year-old from Atalanta, is firmly on the club's radar. Seen as a high-upside project, Ahanor fits Amorim's preference for recruiting young talents who can be developed internally."
Ruben Amorim has initiated a comprehensive squad rebuild at Manchester United, prioritising defensive restructuring and a tactical switch to a 3-4-3 system that abandons the traditional back four. Recruitment now targets defenders comfortable on the ball, quick across the ground, and able to operate in wider spaces. Immediate plans include signing a left wing-back and a central midfielder, while scouting continues for central defensive options that fit both short-term needs and long-term planning. Targets under consideration include Jarrad Branthwaite, Marc Guehi, young Atalanta prospect Honest Ahanor, and left-sided defender Nathaniel Brown.
