During the linkup I was just thinking hah Harry McGuire would never be able to do this
Please do jeremy doku
Amrabat will massively improve our midfield
My question is this why would we spend so much for mount
Where do you search for player stats rankings
I don't know, It doesn't excite me. Glad it's a loan, let us see him first before we buy him
Amrabat is a ball playing central midfielder with tenacity. What he will bring is energy to Utds midfield which Casemiro doesnt provide much of. Amrabat-Bruno with wide players Anthony and Sancho/Garnacho is a strong midfield with Rashford and Hojlund leading the line. Varane and Martinez at the bacl flanked by Reguillon and Shaw. I know Reguillon was signed to provide cover at LB but he offers much more going forward as opposed to Wan Bissaka or Dalot.
Casemiro amrabat pivot. Mount and Fernandes in the half spaces. Shaw and Rashford at the wings wiping it in for hojlund.
SA was the missing piece to the puzzle.
PYB churning them out lately
Ten Hag won’t play amrabat and casmeiro in a double pivot, it’s always going to be either of them with 28s, that’s how we’ve been playing since last season so I doubt he’ll change it. Realistically Amrabat will be a casmeiro backup option/rotation option.
Notwithstanding his perceived deficiencies, Amrabat is still an upgrade on McFred. Casemiro is a good passer and gets into scoring positions so Ambrabat can cover for him.
What is your opinion on Florian Wirtz from Leverkusen?
That's a bit worrying he can't head the ball, that could be an issue
Ye like kovacic and rodri
Thanks so much for this. All I could see in other videos that I watched was how he can positively impact the side but you explained the downside he can have. Keep up the good work 🥳
Well i think we don't need him for attacking options.He just a holding & DM in possession & against pressure.
So we should b happy if he does his role(defense) brilliantly and plus holding,link up for bonus ❤
Doesn't tackle headers so I think we have got ourself another average player
He is good every side I like him his patient of the club
I think you should start making videos about players that are at the end of their carrier and explain why they were so good or bad and give a rating to their entire carrier like let's say you take cr7 and explain his key attributes like you always do in this video's and lastly give a rating ,please like this comment if you think it's a good idea,more like will help it to reach him
I hope Amrabat changes ManU's game Or else ManU is simply hopeless at the moment. Always playing very defensive after scoring a goal or looking for draws. No attacking mentality and being played around like monkeys.
cole palmer next!
I'm Moroccan and I want to say or advise United fans, when the ball is at Amrabat, encourage him with the word “ SIRE " and you have to repeat it , Translation of the word " Sire " it's " GO " , moving and attack forward .
You will not imagine what this boy can do just by hearing " Sire" . There's a shot from the World Cup of him and Mbappe when he confronted him and ran a long distance, and the Moroccan audience supporters was saying him " Sire " " go "
I would like you do the same a analysis after playing several matches for united.
I'm a man United fan and I can guarantee you that it will not be this admiring and impressive. I bet he will become average .
Man United have this tendency of reducing players ability to be consistent.
Look at most of the young brilliant players we brought in…look at them now.😢🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️
Amrabat can be a good player just like other Manchester United players are, but the problem will be the style of play Manchester United is playing I think players like Mason Mount, Hojlund, Sofyan Amrabat will not fit in that definetly these players will struggle
Great analysis, but i think Amrabat will settle and earn his spot as a main player in the starting 11, remember that
amrabat play as no.6 can help casemiro in df duty (eriksen cant do much) and let's case move up a little as no.8 to linkup or move in to the box often.
it would be better than play case as 6 and amrabat as 8 … imo
when we need more df in mf we can put eriksen in and move bruno play with 2 upfront aka 4-3-3 to 4-2-1-1-2
let's hope ETH wont stupid enough and waste our game plays for his stubborn plan again
Feels like a good depth option for Casemiro as he ages, but the balance may be a bit off if United tries to play them together. Would've made a lot more sense for Liverpool to go for him and plug their massive hole at the 6.
Amrabat is the perfect example of how a player can be successful at a high level without much raw talent.
