Manchester United's FA Cup triumph last year became the source of failure! With only 100 million in funds, Amorim is struggling to rebuild

Looking back, the Manchester Evening News said Manchester United may have hoped that Coventry's stunning goal in last year's FA Cup semi-final would not be blown away, so Ten Hag would not be able to lead the team to the final and win the title, and he would be sacked. The Red Devils will lose a title and miss out on European competition, but they can save half a year and £200 million in transfer fees.

Fans who watched the game at Wembley Stadium last year won't forget the silver cup in the sun, but they didn't expect it to be the last ray of sunshine before darkness. After the game, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who had already decided to sack Ten Hag, and his staff lost their courage and decided to renew Ten Hag's contract after more than half a month, and spend more than 200 million pounds to buy him for him.

The result was the worst Premier League season in the club's history, with the team sitting 16th in the league and earning almost £20 million less than last year. And without European qualification, it is estimated that there will be a potential loss of £100 million in revenue. Add to that the £20 million spent on sacking Ten Hag and hiring Amorim, and United have wasted £350 million. Fans sarcastically said: Guardiola's plan is really vicious, sacrificing the champion Baoten to harm Manchester United.

Manchester United began in 2019 as a "cultural reset", but five or six years later it is still a desert of dressing room culture. The club's finances have also been red-flagged, with the British media claiming that Amorim will only have £100 million to use this summer, which may only be enough for him to buy Wolves' Cunha and a new centre-forward, and the only way to further rebuild the squad is to raise money through player sales.

Manchester Evening reminds Manchester United that this time the purchase should be considered from the club's point of view, rather than signing the manager with the players he likes. Ten Hag is the opposite, and the likes of Hojlund, Antony, Tyrell Malacia and others he brought in could be purged this summer.

It is reported that Manchester United will be determined by Jason Wilcox, and Amorim will have to pick his own rebuilding candidate. Lajue said Wilcox had "the best eyes in English football", and of course there was a lot of boasting in that assessment. Wilcox admires Liam Delap, who he has worked with in the role of Manchester City's academy director, while Amorim prefers the likes of Djekereish and Osimhen. In the end, the 22-year-old Delap became United's first choice.

However, United's recruitment will be severely affected by a Champions League miss next season, and if Delap does not choose Old Trafford as his next stop, the Reds could turn to Crystal Palace's French striker Mateta, who has only one year left on his contract. But embarrassingly, the London Eagles will play in the Europa League next season, while Manchester United have no European competition. Mateta may still be willing to join, but the salary will have to be increased.

ESPN reports that Amorim has come up with more practical criteria for transfers, knowing that he doesn't have much money, hoping to add speed, strength and athleticism, especially in midfield. United's two top targets, Wolves' Cunha and Ipswich's Delap, both have a strong level of confrontation on their own.

It has been reported that Amorim was concerned about his team's lack of physical ability to take on Tottenham before the Europa League final, and those fears were confirmed in midfield and attack. Manchester United have not lost to non-Premier League opponents in the Europa League, but they have lost their most important game against Tottenham, also from England.

The 40-year-old Portuguese coach said: "The Premier League is physically demanding, no matter who the opponent is. Some teams don't need to pass possession, just a long pass and then fight for the second spot, and that's it. If you don't have a physical confrontation, you're in trouble. There's a reason why a player like Antony is playing better in La Liga, there are a lot of factors involved, but I assure you it's mostly about the physical condition."
