Manchester United has no future alone, zero passes, zero crosses and deadly free kicks! This position must be bought

Manchester United's 26-year-old Dutch left-back, Tyrell Malacia, was a laughing stock for a year and a half due to an injury, and fans mocked him for disappearing. Now he is finally back, but the situation has not improved much, and some fans have even bluntly said that he might as well continue to be injured. Against Bournemouth, Malacia started but was substituted at half-time. In the 45 minutes on the field, he did not contribute much to his own team, but instead committed a needless foul and created the opponent's opening free-kick.

Malacia was the first player signed by Ten Hag in charge, but he is probably the representative of Manchester United's "Mr. Nanguo" and lacks the quality to play for a world-class giant. Three of his four games since his return have been substituted, including against Arsenal, Bode Shine and Bournemouth.

The stats show that Malacia played 45 minutes, had 34 touches of the ball, made only 24 passes, found team-mates in no crosses, and did not break through with the ball. He won only one of his five duels and lost possession seven times. Therefore, in the 2025 transfer window, Amorim will definitely bring in a new left-back to end the current vicious cycle of the Red Devils.

With injuries to Luke Shaw and Malacia, United have been using right-back Diogu Darlow to play on the left this season, which has affected the 25-year-old Portugal international, who has also been in a slump this season. Last season, Darlow had three goals and five assists, and so far this season there are just two, and the last time was in October. Against Bournemouth, Darlow played at right-back and then returned to left-back, also missing possession 13 times with clean crosses and dribbles.

At the same time, because Amorim continued to be a "tinkerer" and made a big shift in position, even Moroccan international Mazraoui, who had been consistent at the beginning of the season, began to make mistakes, and his foul gave Bournemouth a penalty, leaving Manchester United two goals behind.

Manchester United have already signed favourite Paraguayan 17-year-old left-back Diego León, however, the Portno Hills youngster is only a reserve for the future and he is unlikely to be in the Premier League right away. Moreover, he will only be able to join until next summer, as he will only reach the 18-year-old threshold in April to sign for Manchester United.

United may need a new full-back in January, as the team's existing wing-backs are accustomed to playing in a back four, and none of them have proven to be as useful as they should be at wing-back. As for Manchester United's wingers, it is also difficult to be qualified as wing-backs, among which only Amad Diallo is balanced in attack and defense, Rashford, Garnacho and others do not like to defend, and Antony is not mentally strong.

If Amorim wants to play well in the 343 formation, he can only enter the transfer market and bring in new wide players. Bournemouth's starting left wing-back, Milos Kolkez, is one of the rumoured candidates. Of course, his performance in the game at Old Trafford was rather mediocre and unimpressive.

But there is a growing number of left-backs linked with United, including Inter Milan's Federico Dimarco who has been involved in eight goals in 18 appearances this season.

According to Italy's Torino Sport, the Red Devils asked about the 27-year-old vettant, but Inter flatly refused, stressing that Dimarco was not for sale. Dimarco is also excited to continue playing for the Nerazzurri with more than two years left on his contract and negotiations are currently underway to renew his contract.
