Manchester United confirms signing Cunha, opening a big move in the summer transfer window

We see that Manchester United, led by the new management and new coach, has very clear ideas for team building this summer and moves very quickly. Instead of getting caught up in the long negotiations they had before, they quickly took Cunya and got very close to Mbemo. This shows that they have a clear goal, which is to finalize the core candidates for the attack line as soon as possible and lay a solid foundation for the tactical system in the new season.

Captain Fernandez refused to offer a high salary to stay in the team, which is crucial to stabilizing the morale of the army. He is not only a world-class player on the court, but also a pillar of the team's spiritual level. But after retaining him, a more interesting topic was placed in front of head coach Amorin: How to build a new and competitive style of playing around him and these new players?

The analysis of external media, such as the Sun, also mainly revolves around a core change, that is, the team may change to the three-guard system. It would be interesting to analyze it according to this idea. Amorin is very good at using the three-back formation in Portugal Sports, so it is natural for him to bring this system to Manchester United.

Let's take a look at the frontcourt first. In this system, the newly signed Cunya and Mbemo are not traditional wingers, and their roles are more like two attacking midfielders, or "inside strikers", moving in both ribs. This can give full play to their characteristics of having strong ball skills and good at interspersed running. The center forward, whether it is the rumored Mitrovic or Giokelez, needs to be a powerful fulcrum that can stand on the position and make the ball. If you can't buy it, letting Cunia play a guest role as a "Pseudo-Nine" and using his run to create space for Mbemo and the players inserted in the back row is also a feasible tactical change.

Look at the midfield again. A bold idea is to let Bruno Fernandez retreat and assume the core role of the organization similar to the "quarterback", and be responsible for the first shot and rhythm of the defense to the offense. This can maximize his passing vision, but the requirements for his sense of defensive position are completely different. Therefore, he must be surrounded by a player like Baleba or Walton who has strong running coverage and steals ability to ensure the offensive and defensive balance in the midfield. One of these two people is quiet and moving, one is responsible for organizing and the other is responsible for sweeping, which is a typical idea for the configuration of double midfielders in modern football.

Finally watch the defense. The three-back system has high requirements for central defenders. It not only needs to be stable in defense, but also has certain ability to use the ball. So we see that there are names like Lisandro Martinez, De Ligt and Yoro in the rumors. The two wingbacks, such as Dorgu and Diallo, need to have strong back and forth ability. They must be able to attack and defend, which is the guarantee of the team's width and vitality. As for the goalkeeper position, Emiliano Martinez has rich experience in the competition and good psychological quality, which is indeed a reliable choice.

In general, although the many names and several lineups mentioned in this article are just media speculation, they point together in a clear direction: Manchester United is trying to carry out a thorough and systematic reconstruction around new coach Amorin's three-back tactical system. Their logic of buying people is no longer simply accumulating stars, but looking for "parts" that can adapt to this specific system. This summer, Manchester United's goal is not only to buy a few people, but also to buy a brand new style of play and the team's future.
