Two Manchester United transfer choices revealed by merciless Nottingham Forest after baffling £90m decisions

Image
Manchester United’s decision to sell Anthony Elanga for £15m while rating Alejandro Garnacho at £70m illustrates the kind of errors that define their transfer missteps.  Manchester United are terrible at signings. That is no surprise. Their terrible history of post-Ferguson acquisitions is painfully familiar. However, they are arguably inferior in every facet of player sales, and insufficient emphasis is placed on how that disastrous failure has been more persistently harmful than subpar recruitment to their prospects for a significant rebuild.  They have never earned over £100m in a single season from player sales (four Premier League teams achieved this in just one season). They are the sole Premier League club whose highest sale happened prior to 2011. They still consider David Beckham's transfer to Real Madrid in 2003 as their fourth-biggest sale ever, and two players ahead of him – Angel Di Maria and Romelu Lukaku – were sold at a loss compared to their initial signing fe...

Ruben Amorim discloses discipline for Man Utd player; reacts to Roy Keane's outburst regarding Bruno Fernandes


Ruben Amorim disclosed that Manchester United's winger Alejandro Garnacho faced consequences after he went directly down the tunnel following the match against Ipswich Town. 

On Wednesday night, Man Utd got back to winning form by defeating relegation-threatened Ipswich Town, overcoming a deficit to secure a 3-2 victory while playing with ten players. 

The Red Devils continue to struggle in the lower part of the Premier League standings, and their victory over Ipswich was not achieved easily. 

Garnacho was substituted for Noussair Mazraoui after Patrick Dorgu received a red card, and the winger promptly headed down the tunnel after leaving the field. 

It has now come to light that Amorim engaged in ‘private discussions’ with United’s ‘moody’ player, who was instructed to “foot the bill for dinner for the whole team” following an “inquiry.” 

“He arrived at my office,” Amorim stated. 

"I conducted some research." He [Garnacho] entered the dressing room, observed the match, and then returned home. It's not a problem, but I informed him that at Manchester United, everything is a problem. In this club, perception holds significance, perception holds significance. 

"He will cover the dinner for the whole team." That’s all. 

Earlier this week, club icon Keane created a buzz with a remarkable outburst regarding United's captain Fernandes. 

"I notice supporters at games, and they’re chanting for Bruno." I look at these guys, and I believe you’re f***ing frauds! Keane mentioned on the Stick To Football Podcast. 

After Ian Wright tried to defend Fernandes, Keane proceeded: “Oh Wrighty, I’m fed up with that nonsense! 

You follow United weekly, we concentrate more on United. Take a seat and enjoy a match with him! Individuals feign shutting others out. Skill alone is insufficient! You continually mention talent – Bruno is a skilled player, but that's insufficient!” 

"With whom were you in the dressing room, Tony Adams!" Tony Adams was this, Tony Adams was that, for he was a warrior! 

"You have young players who need to observe someone and say, ‘I appreciate their actions’." Not everyone can score from 25 yards into the top corner, I understand that, but you need someone who’s saying, 'Guys, are you with me? “Are you on the same page as me?” 

In reply, Amorim has clarified his reasons for differing from Keane, stating that Fernandes is “performing well in a challenging situation.” 

“I've heard about that.” "I hold a different viewpoint," Amorim replied. 

"Bruno holds significant value for both us and the club." He is performing well in a challenging situation. He always desires the responsibility. 

“I understand that at times he expresses himself with his arms as a captain, but overall, it’s largely due to the frustration from this year and the previous one.” He desires to succeed, and at times it can be challenging to manage that frustration. 

“Everyone has their own viewpoint.” Roy Keane holds high expectations from his period at the club, and it’s natural to have a viewpoint. I hold a differing view and believe my perspective holds more weight than Roy Keane’s since I am the coach.
