Amorim on Manchester United's recruitment strategy: I have the final say

On February 9, Manchester United will face Leicester City in the FA Cup round of 16. Before this crucial match, Manchester United coach Ruben Amorim talked about the team's recruitment strategy. He made it clear that he has the final say on all the players who join Manchester United.

Amorim stressed that this has been confirmed since he took over Manchester United. He hopes that the team can introduce players who not only have excellent physical qualities but also can adapt to the high-intensity confrontation in the Premier League. At the same time, he also pays special attention to the players' desire to win, hoping that every new player has enough ambition to contribute to Manchester United's revival.

In the winter transfer window of the 2024-2025 season, Manchester United completed two signings, namely Eden Haven and Dogu. The 18- year-old Eden Haven previously played for the Serie A team Lecce. He played 57 games for the team and scored 5 goals, showing a certain offensive ability. Dogu also performed well in the Italian arena. His confrontation ability in Serie A ranks second in the league, and he is also the fourth-ranked defender in the number of breakthrough attempts this season. Amorim believes that the joining of these two new players will enhance Manchester United's overall strength and help the team achieve better results in the future.

Although Manchester United's performance this season has not met the expectations of the outside world, Amorim has always maintained confidence. He admitted that the team is currently in a period of reconstruction and it is unrealistic to expect a huge breakthrough in a short period of time. However, he firmly believes that as long as the team stays in the right direction and strives to improve its own strength, it will eventually usher in better results. He also mentioned that despite the high expectations of the outside world, he and the team will not feel pressured by this, but will unswervingly move forward according to the established plan.

When talking about the future direction of signings, Amorim said that he prefers to introduce young players, who can not only provide immediate combat power for the team, but also lay the foundation for the long-term development of Manchester United. He believes that young players have more room for growth, and they can improve themselves through continuous training and competition, thus helping Manchester United gain a foothold in the fiercely competitive Premier League. In addition, he once again emphasized his importance in the decision-making of signings, and he has the final say, which will not change.

Amorim's speech shows that under his leadership, Manchester United will adhere to the established development strategy, continue to optimize the team lineup, and strive to show stronger competitiveness in future games. Although Manchester United's current performance has not reached its best state, the team is gradually improving, and the future of Manchester United is still worth looking forward to.
