Manchester United have signed Sofyan Amrabat. A hard-nosed, rough and tumble type of midfielder, that'll do the grafting for the side. At least, that's what you'd think, right?

How does he stats back up that impression? Well, let's have a look! Image Primarily, the easiest place to start is to look at apperances, and how reliant Manchester United can be on Amrabat.

Transfermarkt reported that Amrabat missed a total of 5 matches last season through injury. He played a total of 29 league matches, 24 he started for Fiorentina.

Casemiro🇧🇷 has signed for Manchester United, meaning they have recruited one of he world's finest midfielders. However, how much could the Brazilian potentially improve the Manchester United midfield? Let's have a look! We'll use Casemiro numbers and stats from the 2021/2022-season at Real Madrid. In this, we'll look at LaLiga and European competition. We'll compare that to the players having mainly played those roles at Man Utd last season.

Oh, and I might add in a certain Dutchman as well.

Josep Pedrerol (known for his connection to Florentino Pérez): "What I'm being told is United want Casemiro before Saturday. United called the entourage of Casemiro after the Brentford game to let them know they want him. Lets make clear; Casemiro is not being offered by Madrid." Pedrerol (to @elchiringuitotv): "It's very possible Casemiro will ask Madrid to let him go in the next hours. Real Madrid believe United will offer Casemiro double of what he is earning at Madrid. He has three years left at Madrid, United will offer him five and double his pay"

All sorts of reports flying around regarding Frenkie de Jong and Manchester United. Not "sources tell me" or anything of the sort, but I'll try to give an explanation as to why the transfer might not only be tempting for Barcelona to complete, but quite necessary First and foremost, this comes down to pure economics. Barcelona are not even close to being the money-machine they once were.

Back in Oct 2021, they recorded a loss of €481million. They revenue dropped by 26% following covid-19. This is a key element to this. They need money.

The rumour of Jadon Sancho going to Manchester United is not going anywhere, and seems to be picking up steam in most media. But would the young Englishman really improve what is a promising attacking side. And how would he do that? Let's have a look! NOTE: As always, we will be judging this based on domestic leagues and cups, as well as European leagues (ie; Carabao Cup not counting). For the sake of Bruno Fernandes, we will count the Portuguese league and cup in some parts of the thread.

Bruno Fernandes is heavily linked with a move to Manchester United. The Portuguese attacking midfielder has been quite the juggernaut offensively for Sporting the past two years, but exactly how does he stack up to his counter-parts at Man United? Let's have a look! We are going to compare Fernandes to some of his counter-parts at United in league and Europa League. Considering he operates as a CAM who often drifts deep or wide right, D. James, A. Pereira and J. Lingard seem like the obvious choices, also giving how much they've played.

The debate regarding who the world's best no.9 is rages on almost every day, and especially every weekend. But if we take a look at the stats from the past five seasons (this season included), it reveals the complexity of naming one player. Why? Let's have a look! Before we start, we have to set a few criterias for this:

- Plays in a top five league (Premier League, Serie A, LaLiga, Bundesliga, Ligue 1)
- We'll count league, cups and important national team football (tournaments, qualifiers)
- Has played consistently the past five seasons

What Manchester United would gain by signing Mario Mandzukic is one of Europe's absolute elite defensive strikers. In relation to pressing, suffocating your opponent, he is one of the absolute best there is. Even as he's about to become 33 years old. Let's have a look. If we base this on the numbers, and the games where Mandzukic, Lukaku and Rashford all have played as the no.9 (18/19-season), the defensive numbers are pretty for the Croatian.

In terms of interceptions, he has 1.95 each game. Rashford is close with 1.72, with Lukaku at 1.09.

A lot of discussion as to whom should become Man United's new technical/sporting director. The way I see it, there is one man who seems like the absolute perfect fit. That is Jordi Cruyff. And here are some of the reasons why First and foremost, being a director at a club is something Cruyff knows about. He has done so at AEK Larnaca and Maccabi Tel-Aviv. Larnaca made it to the group stage of the EL with Cruyff, while Tel Aviv were Israeli champions three times with Cruyff as their director
