How Manchester United Can Rebuild Their Midfield

Спорт

Despite an impressive debut campaign where the Brazilian guided United back into the Champions League, the FA Cup Final after lifting the Carabao Cup, Casemiro has dropped off massively in his second season and has missed more than 50% of the matches through injury or suspension. Combine the absence of Casemiro with no established number 8 and Manchester United are without a midfield. So today, Statman Dave takes a broad look at how Man Utd can rebuild their midfield, taking a look at tactics & strategy, potential player profiles and transfers that fit the bill.

    I think United’s biggest issue this season is fitness.. Played over 60 games last season on top of having the third most players go to a mid season World Cup.. And then they went and played EIGHT pre season games and Ten Hag no doubt worked them hard during pre season to try and build fitness which has clearly backfired.. United’s players are knackered and picking up injuries every game.. Going out of Europe all together may be a blessing in disguise, the players have looked shattered from day one..

    totally, our style forces wingers and other attackers to run around and try to defend when we are not in possession which is for most of the game and the same players are playing every other game. This is why players are dropping like flies. One game a week is certainly a blessing, even if we made it out of the group we would have been knocked out instantly. Also Bruno's crossing and overall game haven't been on point recently and the ban against liverpool would be good for him and the team

    André is a big yes from me. But rather than blow 80-100m on Joao Neves I think there are smarter options out there. I think Mainoo has fantastic potential and I'm also not sure another teenage midfielder is the way to go. I'd bring in Khephren Thuram from Nice. Dynamic box to box player who can carry the ball through midfield with powerful dribbling reminiscent of Yaya Toure. He would add some power to the midfield without sacrificing technical ability.

    Yeah he was the so often the difference between us playing well or playing badly last season. He had a few bad games at the start of this season, then this long injury and loads of fans have completely written him off. He’s surely got more gas in the tank, and perhaps a couple of really good seasons left in him; I’d like to see a fit Casemiro alongside Kobbie in midfield. With Martinez back I think that trio would really shore us up defensively, but also allow us a lot more control of the game and allow us to retain possession a lot more. We’ve lacked that building block and spine this year, and everything goes off that - hopefully would see the attackers freed up more, and give them more space and the base from which to make attacking runs and generally provide more movement in the attack. We’re certainly short a few players - the right wing needs sorting out as i don’t see what Antony brings at all atm, but getting our spine back our leader in defence in Martinez, would surely make a big difference to everything we’re doing at present)

    De Gea's golden glove last season revolved around That Casemiro, The Butcher, Varane triangle. We bring that back, the midfield will practically take care of itself. It'll also be a good protective base for Mount to join. That guy will prove to be a very shrewd signing for us. Our biggest problem really is our wingers, fullbacks and Bruno not feeding Hojlund

    man utd should look into their academy more often for those bright stars and groom them. i think this should be the first step. look at bringing in high potential players for the future and present use in the team especially in midfield and defence because those two areas have many in their peak ages and career points. so the recruitment should be for high ceiling players who will grow into the team on ocassion. comfortable roatation palyers but also good potential starters mainoo should be built to fill cm and cdm roles as both positions seem to require almost the same capabilities. but for now could play cm along side amrabat given the injuries. i would add alex scott who can play cm and cam comfortably. if amrabat deal were to not be made permanent then they would look for a cdm but still below 23 age profile and charlie patino comes to mind. talents like dan gore, shea are all meant to be into consideration of the team. utd could do with selling some players. the cheap options in the midfield and selling some creates resources to bloaster the centre back area as they need a person that can start but also young and these will be expensive

Thats a good group of young midfielders complimented by the experience of Fernandes and Amrabat to build your team around, I dont mind the idea, I dont think we’ll do it though. I feel bad for Mount, but I dont see a spot for him in the team, I know why ETH signed him, but having two tens just hasn’t worked and Mount doesn’t have the defence to play in a deeper role.

    Thanks for the video buddy. From my perspective, rebuilding Man United will have to do a defensive revamping first as this football club cannot rely on Maguire 30yrs and Evans 36yrs + have proper fullbacks. Changing the defensive setup will strengthen the team and give more confidence. Then recruiting proper midfielders like you said will be important. It will be crucial finding the next Modric and Ngolo Kante. Then finding proper wingers like Doku, Leao, Vinicius. So there need to be good scouting, talent development and vision to succeed in this gigantic mission

    Tbf I was surprised Casemiro had the season he had last season. He had been on steady decline in his final couple of seasons and real played with a mid-low block so I didn’t think he would be able to be an all-action midfielder in ETH’s supposed Ajax set up. Once again, splashing the kind of money they did on a player who was only gonna give you one or two seasons of top football is pretty insane but then at least he had one good season. The same can’t be said of most of United’s other signings

    People saying Bruno can't play well in a possession based system is just erroneous. The guy is so fit that he picks up positions to receive the ball so much. And the difficult passess that he makes look easy to just keep the ball possession is also overlooked. I think fans are forgetting how we struggled with key passess before Bruno arrived. This team does not afford Bruno to be passive during games. This team requires him to be creative and take risks until we have a team that can play well together.

But without his way of playing who is going to create chances in this team? I'm sure Mbappe will struggle in this team. You need a group of players that plays well together to see the best of each individual player. This group does not play well together. How in thr world do you expect them to keep and move the ball quickly. In fact, i'll rather have little possession then passing the ball around without threatening to score. Watch the matches that Bruno does not play in over and you'll notice the difference.

    Are you serious ? Bruno gives the ball away far too much trying silly passes. Then he's not quick enough to get back to help the midfield out. He can't tackle, he's physically weak, he can't dribble past players and his attitude stinks. Teams are actually setting their counter attack when Bruno plays a forward pass if you watch. Yes, he's predictable and a liability. He's a luxury player for a dominant team!!! United aren't dominant unfortunately so drop him.

    If Man Utd get Andre and Joao Neves, it will be another legendary partnership like Scholes/Carrick or Xavi/Iniesta. Different style but i can envision it as a great midfield duo. With Mainoo, it will be a crazy high energy tenacious yet creative midfield trio.

    And a lot of people keep defending him. Like I get it, the work rate is impressive and he never gets hurt but he is not press resistant. I’ve never seen Bruno take on an opponent and actually beat him with the dribble and he’s a 10??? Wtf kinda ten is that??? Someone get James Madison in here or de Bruyne.

    @@femi_danjuma ​ Fair enough, maybe I should add to my initial comment. Whilst Joao Neves may have more aerial duels won per 90 than Onana, I'm look more towards the sheer size of a midfielder next to what would be a 5"9 Kobbie Mainoo and infront of a 5"9 Lisandro Martinez. In addition to the ability to make up ground, to bring toughness into the midfielder etc. This is nothing against Joao Neves btw, but we are lacking tall imposing figures and the Prem is still in that state of needing players of tall stature. So for me Id look more towards an Amadou Onana or someone of a similar profile.

    So Bruno is not considered as a midfielder now? It's all about "controlling the game " and "midfield needs to get revamped" until the mention of Bruno Fernandes for these tacticos. He's played every game for us since 2020 and we've barely controlled a midfield since then, even while trying around 15 different permutations of midfielders behind him. But it's never his fault is it? 🤷‍♂ He should be the first one to get shipped.

    As a MF these all make sense. Wouldn't change a thing. What really needs attention is the defence. Varane is as injury prone as Michael Owen, Evans about to retire (probably), Malacia not quite there ability wise but a good squad player, would love a new RWB in the mould of Carvajal / Alves, and generally need a young prospect at CB that can learn from an ageing Maguire/Varane while they remain at the club who can then hopefully develop into a long term option.

    "Play attractive football and win trophies." That's just bollocks. You play what is effective. If someone came up with an ulta-defensive way of playing that was guaranteed to increase a win rate, EVERY manager in the PL would be trying to implement it yesterday. FFS, the most effective manager since Ferguson was Mourinho and he parked the bus. And his problem was the fans and media sided with the players, not him. And we have seen how that turned out.

    I think it wpuld be pretty simple to fix the midfield. We actually already have the ingredients. Amrabat, Mainoo, and Bruno. Done. If we dont want Amrabat we will need a similarly experienced player to be next to Mainoo, maybe, Casemiro? Yea he just needs to get back in form. Everyone in our midfield plays poorly next to Mctominay because hes a bad midfielder. But hes an oddly good scorer, so maybe we should start using him as a super sub striker or false nine as the end of games against tired defences. Thats just my opinion. I thinn the bigger issue is fixing our defence and attack honestly. Maguire is in good form but he's 30 so that's hardly sustainable. And no other good potential CB coming through. We need Todibo in the summer at a bare minimum. In attack id really consider selling rashford, and Martial too, they are both jogging back in defence when they should be tracking back faster to support, mctominay does the same btw, which leaves a hole in the midfield in his case. I'd be looking at that Stuttgart striker, and a winger, i wanted nico williams because his contract was running low, but he just renewed it, so i dont know who right now.
