I don't know man.. It certainly is difficult to see Manchester united finishing amongst the top 4 spot this season. Don't get me wrong. I'm optimistic on their performance this season especially as they've bolstered their squad with new great signings. We just need to see actual improvements in the form of wins and number of goals scored.
I also think Mbeumo is an amazing talent and his impact would be really felt during matches. Kudos to Amorin for bringing him into the club. Their gameplay seem to have improved from last season, we just need to see more goals and wins. They really need to do much better if they actually want to make it to the top 4 spot.
You are right, Manchester United with the nonsense they are playing has no business with the top 4 position, even an Europa League spot will still be difficult for them to achieve judging from what they are currently playing now. Frankly, Manchester United made good signings but I feel that isn't enough as the backline was almost totally neglected during the window. The like of Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal has already gotten the top 3 positions, it's left for City, Tottenham and the rest to fight for the remaining spot which I don't see Manchester United in it.
I am a bit disappointed in Manchester United giving that they have dropped drastically and needed a boost in the summer but they only made few signings and relaxed even when smaller clubs like Sunderland, Nottingham Forest and Fulham were doing mad business in the window. However they made their decision and will dance to whatever music the season plays for them but I don’t see United qualifying for any European competition unless they do something in January.
I see Man United season as more realistic, focusing on improving and continuously improving their performance, not expecting to compete for a top four finish, let alone a trophy. This way they're less stressed and can focus on improvements. Admittedly Man United has struggled to recover, not only due to unresolved internal issues, but also from pressure from both external and internal sources. When players experience significant pressure, their game inevitably stagnate. Just look at every defeat where both players and coaches are subjected to intense criticism. So let the players and coaches focus on improving, and don't be overly ambitious which can put them under pressure.
Many players have suffered mental health issues, resulting in a lack of confidence due to the pressure they're under. Amorim still has time to improve after Man United management gave them the opportunity. Amorim faces a significant challenge in their next match but if they overcome these challenges and even secure a perfect result I'm sure the Man United squad's confidence will improve. Amorim faces challenges in their next three matches, facing City, Chelsea and Brentford. I hope Amorim uses this opportunity as a stepping stone to recovery.
