Manchester United is going to change the world? Their worst link is becoming the most violent blow

10:52pm, 7 June 2025【Football】

Manchester United's offensive line finally began to look decent.

Cunya arrived first, Mbeumo was talking, and Dzekelish followed closely, and Amorin was step by step fulfilling his frontcourt reform blueprint. Looking back at the past two years, Manchester United's biggest problem has never been that they conceded many goals, but that no one can score at all. Last season, he scored only 44 goals in the league, which is the same as the relegated team - the problem is not only inefficiency, but also a system failure.

Now they finally stopped betting on the future, but began to introduce "people who can solve problems now".

Mbeumo, Dzekelish and Cunya scored a total of 91 goals last season. What does this number mean? More goals than Manchester United have scored in two full seasons. Moreover, these three are not explosive players, but efficient forwards who have stable output for two consecutive seasons. Especially Mbeumo, although he plays as a right winger, his playing style is very similar to that of the few attackers in the Premier League who can fight against the defense line alone - breaking through, running, and shooting. 20 goals can be achieved without penalty kicks.

Looking at the formation, Amorin's 3-4-2-1 is not complicated, but very practical.

The core of this system is: two internal strikers hit the ribs, the forward pulls away the central defender, and the back midfielder stands forward to form oppression. Cunya plays as the left inner forward, Mbeumo moves on the right, and Zhekelais is at the forefront. Once formed, Manchester United can bid farewell to the past situation of "passing three kicks back to the backcourt, and B Fee has no choice but to shoot long-range shots". Moreover, when facing intensive defense in the middle and lower reaches, this impact is more lethal than the previous slow ball control.

Not to say that it is giving up Hoylen, it is more like giving him stress and time.

This kid plays very hard, the problem is that the pace is too fast and the responsibility is too heavy. In the past two years, Manchester United has been too anxious and often relied on the 19-year-old striker to fight the hardest defense in the five major leagues. This kind of "hard-bearing growth" is not a cultivation, but a loss. Now introducing experienced shooters can also be regarded as allowing Hoylen to grow in a more suitable position and rhythm.

After all, if the front line does not upgrade, Manchester United will not talk about turning around.

only scored 44 goals in the 2024/25 season, averaging 1.15, which is lower than the Premier League average. Moreover, among these goals, set pieces and penalty kicks account for too much, and the positional battle was a mess. If these three people can be defeated, Manchester United's attack line is expected to be completely changed. But paper strength is the starting point after all. If it really needs to be implemented, it depends on how Amorin runs into this new system.

What do you think? Can this frontcourt combination really allow Manchester United to "counterattack the old master"? The comment area opens!
