“United have backed Amorim by spending £200m on attacking players this summer, while negotiations likely to end with Alejandro Garnacho, Antony and Rasmus Hojlund joining Chelsea, Real Betis and Napoli respectively, are continuing.”

New £73m signing Sesko looks every bit as terrible as unfairly scapegoated Hojlund he has replaced in Amorim’s totally inflexible “system”.

Garnacho isn’t perfect, but he’s a matchwinner. Antony looked reborn on loan at Betis last season.

So, it’s pretty obvious it’s not the players, but the manager’s tactical inflexibility.
