Ruben Amorim has now been Manchester United manager for just over one year, but there hasn’t exactly been much for Red Devils fans to shout about.

The Portuguese manager failed to bring them European football, and has a frankly poor record during his 12-month stint at Old Trafford.

The former Sporting CP manager has taken charge of 55 games for the Red Devils so far, winning 22, losing 22 and drawing 11.

His record in the Premier League is even worse, with United winning just 12 times under his tutelage in the top flight, suffering defeat 18 times.

One of the issues Amoirm has struggled with is profiling players in his infamous 3-4-2-1 system. There are still question marks over the suitability of Casemiro and Bruno Fernandes in a pivot.

The continued struggles of Fernandes and Casemiro

In modern football, having athletic midfielders is essential for success. A pivot of Casemiro, now aged 34 and still a brilliant ball-winner, next to Fernandes, who has been shoehorned into a deeper role by Amorim despite being one of the best number tens in the Premier League, has struggled.

That particular pairing has been Amorim’s go-to this term, but there is nothing to suggest it is optimising them. In fact, with Fernandes so deep, there is a case to be made that it is hurting the team.

United great Paul Scholes said earlier in the season that “there is no doubt” United’s captain should be playing as a ten.

He excels close to goal, with this goal in his recent hat-trick for Portugal a prime example of how effective he is in the final third.

As for Casemiro, the Brazilian is certainly lacking physically, despite being such a good ball-winner, averaging 3.62 tackles and interceptions per game this term.

As far back as 2023, Jamie Carragher said his “legs have gone.” He certainly needs someone more physically dominant playing next to him.

It is not just Fernandes and Casemiro who are being misprofiled by Amorim, though.

The two players struggling under Amorim

You certainly need to sign very specific players for Amoirm’s system to be a success. Indeed, the misprofiling of Fernandes as a deep-lying playmaker is just one example of making square pegs fit into round holes.

An area similar to that is at wing-back. They are, essentially, wingers, often the highest players for United, in one-vs-one situations with opposition full-backs. Amad is a player who fits the mould, but Patrick Dorgu and Noussair Mazraoui do not.

Premier League Panel, an account on X, said their efforts in Monday’s 1-0 home defeat to Everton were “plain garbage.” Indeed, it wasn’t their best night at the office, but the roles they are being asked to perform, acting as wingers, are not playing to their strengths.

The fact that they are full-backs by trade certainly shows. Dorgu has just one assist playing high and wide on the left under Amorim. Mazraoui has also managed just the one, although he has played at centre-back, too.

Looking at their creative stats, you get a clear picture of the fact that they are misprofiled.

For example, focusing on the Premier League from last season and the start of 2025/26, Dorgu averages 0.3 crosses per game compared to 0.2 for Mazraoui.

Stats from FBref

United lack an attacking threat out wide at the moment. Playing two full-backs at wing-back, who, it is worth noting, are good players when used correctly, is not helping.

It is certainly something Amorim should look to address in the coming weeks.

His time at United has been one to forget so far, but there is still time to salvage the season. It will be interesting to see if he keeps Dorgu and Mazraoui out wide, or switches them up for more attacking players.

يستعد برشلونة لدخول سوق الانتقالات الصيفية للتعاقد مع مهاجم جديد في 2026، ويرتبط جوليان ألفاريز مهاجم أتلتيكو مدريد بالانضمام لصفوف النادي بقوة.

ويحظى ألفاريز بطل كأس العالم 2022 مع منتخب الأرجنتين بإعجاب كبير من جانب إدارة برشلونة، ويرى فيه النادي هدفاً رئيسياً لخلافة روبرت ليفاندوفسكي والذي ينتهي عقده بنهاية الموسم.

ويعد ألفاريز هو المرشح المفضل لرئيس برشلونة خوان لابورتا ليصبح مهاجم المستقبل في البلوجرانا بدلاً من المهاجم البولندي.

وأغلق إنريكي سيريزو رئيس أتلتيكو مدريد الباب أمام أي احتمال لرحيل جوليان ألفاريز العام المقبل في تصريحات نشرتها صحيفة “موندو ديبورتيفو”: “كنا نتوقع ذلك قبل وصولك أبولو سبورتس (المستثمرين الجدد في النادي)”.

وأضاف: “فكرة تحصين ألفاريز من خيالكم، جوليان لديه عقد وعليه الوفاء به، مثل أي شخص آخر، جوليان لاعب نرغب به ويريد البقاء هنا، فما الذي يحتاجه أكثر من ذلك”.

واختتم عن تجديد عقد ألفاريز وعدم عرضه للبيع: “لقد قضى معنا عاماً ولديه خمسة أو ستة عقود أخرى، لسنا منفتحين على التفاوض بشأن جوليان أو أي لاعب آخر، إذا تقدم فريق لضم لاعب وأراد الرحيل، سيرحل، لكن في الوقت الحالي لا يوجد لاعب واحد يرغب في الرحيل”.

O técnico do Vasco, Ramón Diaz, fez comentário machista ao reclamar da arbitragem após a derrota do Vasco para o Bragantino, por 2 a 1, nesta quarta-feira, fora de casa, pela segunda rodada do Brasileirão. O técnico argentino disse que é “complicado que quem decida no VAR seja uma mulher”, em referência à partida do último domingo, contra o Grêmio.

Com respeito aos árbitros, não podemos falar muito. Na última partida, o VAR foi uma senhorita, uma mulher, e foi pênalti. Me parece complicado que no VAR quem tenha que decidir seja uma mulher. Porque o futebol é tão dinâmico, com ações tão rápidas. Hoje não sei se o árbitro também não viu o lance, que me pareceu pênalti. O Vasco está crescendo, competimos

---

disse Ramón Díaz.

No lance reclamado por Ramón, Galdames teria sofrido pênalti do zagueiro Rodrigo Ely, do Grêmio. A responsável pelo VAR na partida, Daiane Muniz, inicialmente recomendou a marcação da falta, mas voltou atrás.

TÉCNICO E VASCO SE DESCULPAM
Antes de deixar o estádio, o treinador reuniu os jornalistas para se retratar. O argentino afirmou que foi mal interpretado.

– Quero pedir desculpas, mas me pareceu que o que quis dizer é que uma só pessoa não pode decidir e ter uma decisão tão importante para o futebol como é o VAR. Se interpretaram mal, peço desculpas, mas não foi minha intenção – corrigiu.

Horas depois, foi a vez do Vasco se manifestar. O clube lamentou a declaração e garantiu que reforçará “medidas e diretrizes educativas”.

🎙️ MAIS RESPOSTAS DE RAMÓN DÍAZ:

ANÁLISE DO JOGO
– O primeiro gol foi um gol meio de sorte deles, não com muita criação, mas um gol meio raro, meio difícil. Mas depois o Vasco reagiu, tivemos uma atitude incrível. Nós fomos buscar, pressionamos, atacamos bem, criamos situações. Inclusive chegamos ao gol com jogada muito boa, boa criação. Eu acho que estamos analisando bem que o Vasco vai crescer. Está crescendo, está crescendo em sua forma, em seu estilo. Nós estamos felizes porque nós competimos muito bem.

– No segundo gol deles, recuamos e não pressionamos. Ele teve muita facilidade para finalizar. Se tivéssemos feito Temos coisas que temos que melhorar. E em relação à arbitragem, já falei, é difícil. Porque o VAR toma decisões. Na última rodada, foram muitos erros de arbitragem. Isso tem que melhorar.

TRANQUILIDADE DA EQUIPE
– Falta a equipe jogar mais tranquila, a nossa equipe deve jogar mais tranquila, mais relaxada, jogar competindo mais. Temos muito caminho pela frente, mas temos que conseguir pontos. Não gosto de perder, gosto de conseguir os resultados. Principalmente na largada do campeonato. Temos que conseguir os resultados do início.

JOVENS DA BASE
– Agora incorporamos alguns jovens e com certeza vai ajudar muito. Estamos trabalhando com muitos jovens e o time tem a possibilidade também de provar alguns jogadores. Rayan, Adson, todos os garotos jovens que estão fazendo sua experiência e vêm bem também para o futuro. Com certeza estou muito feliz porque, por mais que seja numa derrota, se analisarmos bem os dois gols, fomos bastante azarados. Principalmente no segundo gol, Maicon pega na cabeça, se desvia e vai para o gol. Não é que eles tenham criado situações para ganhar e acho que era o momento melhor do Vasco no jogo.

RAYAN
– Nós vimos que íamos ter vantagem e tínhamos que ser mais profundos tanto na direita quanto na esquerda. O Lucas Piton estava muito bem, o Paulo Henrique também, cruzamos muito hoje, tínhamos muitas situações. E pedi que ele (Rayan) ficasse de ponta porque precisávamos, na recuperação que tínhamos, ser profundo e chegar ao gol. Por isso os jogadores ficaram felizes, nós também. A lástima foi no final. No final, depois do gol, o Vasco tinha que seguir insistindo, buscar o gol, não retroceder tanto, ter um pouco mais de força no meio. Todas essas coisas nós vamos corrigir.

JOÃO VICTOR
– Tomou golpe forte no joelho e era momento em que não poderíamos arriscar. Temos que ter o jogador com 100%, com tudo, para que possamos seguir no jogo. Mas está bem.

HUGO MOURA
– É um jogador de meio de campo. Tivemos a lesão de Paulinho e de Jair. Necessitamos reforçar ali no meio. Estamos felizes porque ele veio e seguramente nos vai ajudar. Ele vai ter que se adaptar ao nosso estilo, à nossa forma de trabalho. Ele é um jogador de características que nós gostamos. Então, nos vamos ajudar para que ele renda e faça um bom campeonato.

Tottenham are already making some progress on their transfer plans heading into 2026, with ‘very advanced’ discussions being held on the player side.

Tottenham make plans to sign new attacker

Spurs are believed to be ramping up their pursuit of attacking reinforcements ahead of the January transfer window, with Thomas Frank desperate to address the creative issues plaguing his side right now.

The Lilywhites were once again unconvincing against Newcastle on Tuesday, despite nicking a 2-2 draw courtesy of captain Cristian Romero’s brace.

Romero’s diving header and overhead kick in added time were Spurs’ only shots on target the entire game, so it remains clear that the north Londoners could do with that extra injection of quality going forward.

FC Porto striker Samu Aghehowa has reportedly emerged as one of the club’s primary targets, with Spurs ‘intent’ on signing the 21-year-old, according to some reports.

The Spain international has impressed again this season with six goals and one assist in 11 league games for Porto, while his overall record stands at 37 goals in 62 appearances since joining the Portuguese giants from Atlético Madrid last year.

Dominic Solanke has been plagued by ankle problems since the start of 2025/2026, undergoing surgery in early October and remaining sidelined, with Mathys Tel, Richarlison and Randal Kolo Muani arguably failing to set the world alight.

Kolo Muani’s also suffered injury issues which have limited his availability, but the Frenchman did put in a stunning shift against parent club PSG in the Champions League last week.

He bagged a brace and an assist during the 5-3 defeat as Spurs’ shining light, though he needs more support with Richarlison proving inconsistent and Mathys Tel still pretty raw.

That being said, with Solanke nearing a return, Tottenham are reportedly more likely to sign a wide forward than a central striker in January.

Bournemouth’s Antoine Semenyo and Everton’s Iliman Ndiaye are both rumoured targets to bolster Tottenham’s attack, with the former’s contract containing a £65 million release clause which will be active in early January.

However, Man City are just as keen on Semenyo as Spurs, meaning Frank’s side could face an uphill battle against the Premier League title contenders.

A potential alternative to Semenyo, according to Sky Sports Switzerland’s Sacha Tavolieri, comes in the form of RB Leipzig sensation Yan Diomande.

Tottenham in 'very advanced' discussions with Diomande's camp

As per the reporter, Tottenham are in ‘very advanced’ discussions with Diomande’s representatives — positioning themselves alongside Liverpool as frontrunners in the race for his signature.

Spurs have monitored the Ivorian for months, and Tavolieri says that both the north Londoners and Arne Slot’s side are pressing in negotiations with the 19-year-old’s camp, though no club has yet made formal contact with Leipzig.

Diomande joined Leipzig for £17.5 million from Spanish side Leganes last summer and has quickly impressed, with the Bundesliga side now slapping a reported £88 million price tag on his head to ward off suitors.

The left-winger has scored four goals and racked up four assists in 14 appearances across all competitions this season, establishing himself as a star regular in Ole Werner’s attacking setup.

The promising talent only made his first senior club appearance in March and has enjoyed a meteoric rise since then, with Leipzig now poised to demand a fee which could eclipse their record sale of Josko Gvardiol to City for £79 million.

Barcelona have also expressed rumoured interest but haven’t opened negotiations with his agents, putting Liverpool and Tottenham in the driving seat.

Both Premier League clubs are even considering a January move, according to some reports (Foot Africa), though Leipzig are fully aware of the growing interest and haven’t yet held talks with any club.

For Frank, the signing of Diomande could be a risky one, as he’s only burst on the scene very recently and may cost serious money.

يستعد فريق ريال مدريد لمواجهة قوية أمام أتلتيك بلباو مساء اليوم الأربعاء، ضمن منافسات بطولة الدوري الإسباني “الليجا” لموسم 2025-2026.

ويحل ريال مدريد ضيفًا على أتليتك بلباو بملعب “سان ماميس” في مباراة مقدمة من الجولة التاسعة عشر لليجا، ويتواجد الفريق في وصافة الترتيب بـ33 نقطة، خلف برشلونة المتصدر بـ37 نقطة بعد فوزه أمام أتلتيكو مدريد بنتيجة 3-1 أمس الثلاثاء.

ويستمر حديث الصحافة الإسبانية حول العلاقة بين تشابي ألونسو مدرب ريال مدريد ولاعبي فريقه، وظهر تقرير اليوم يوضح أن هناك توترًا جديدًا بين الطرفين.

وأشارت صحيفة “موندو ديبورتيفو” الإسبانية نقلاً عن برنامج ‘El Chiringuito’ الإسباني، إلى أن تشابي ألونسو قرر تغيير بعض خططه، بما في ذلك السفر يوم المباراة، لخوض مباريات الدوري التي يلعبها الفريق خارج أرضه.

وقرر تشابي سفر الفريق في اليوم السابق لمواجهة أتلتيك بلباو، فبدلاً من السفر اليوم الأربعاء، سافر الفريق أمس الثلاثاء وبات ليلة في مدينة بلباو.

وذلك على الرغم من أن بلباو تبعد ساعة طيران فقط عن ريال مدريد، وهو ما أثار استياء لاعبي الفريق، ولم يُرض بعضهم.

ويرجع السبب إلى ازدحام جدول المباريات قبل عطلة عيد الميلاد، وكان بعض اللاعبين يفضلون قضاء يوم إضافي مع عائلاتهم، ويعتبرون قرار تشابي ألونسو غير ضروري.
