Three unlikely midfield fixes Amorim could use to save Man United's 2025/26 season

Manchester United’s squad has a glaring issue in midfield, which they failed to address in the summer transfer window.

Despite welcoming Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo, Diego Leon, Benjamin Sesko and Senne Lammens, the Red Devils came up short in recruiting the athletic midfielder Amorim desperately needed.

Head coach Ruben Amorim plans to lean heavily on captain Bruno Fernandes in midfield this season but that gamble will only pay off if he finds a partner who can bring steel, energy, and defensive solidity to the engine.
