INEOS holds internal discussions regarding contract with “Monster” commercial

Manchester United’s system under Ruben Amorim raises big questions about the manager and his ability to take the team forward in the future.

The 40-year-old has consistently used a 3-4-2-1 system at Old Trafford since taking over in November last year, but the formation hasn’t worked as well as many expected.

Last season, the Red Devils only managed to finish 15th in the Premier League and lost in the Europa League final to Tottenham Hotspur.

The recent home defeat to Everton has led to further questions being directed at him, particularly after his refusal to move away from his tactics and push more attacking players forward.

However, the manager is hoping to add a number of players in the January transfer window, and it appears that reinforcements in the midfield are expected.

Manchester United looking for new midfielder in January

In recent weeks, United have stepped up their pursuit of Nottingham Forest star Elliott Anderson ahead of a potential move in January.

The Red Devils reportedly intend to sign the England international in the coming weeks after his impressive start to the season.

However, rivals Manchester City are also in the race to sign the 23-year-old, which could lead to a huge battle over the next few months.

He is not the only player they have in their sights for the Premier League at the moment, with Bournemouth star Tyler Adams also being considered by INEOS for January.

According to the Daily Mail, management has held internal negotiations regarding the contract for the American player, who has started every Premier League game this season.

It is also stated that he is seen as a cheaper option to strengthen the midfield department, but it remains to be seen whether the Cherries will allow him to leave during the winter.

Why United’s latest target will end Maynou’s stay

Just a few years ago, it looked as if Koby Mainu would be an important first-team member for United for years to come, but it appears his time at the club is coming to an end.

The midfielder has gone from being a regular starter and England international to now a player who is largely limited to coming off the bench.

He didn’t start in any of his nine league appearances, but it shows the lack of trust the 40-year-old now has in the 20-year-old sensation.

Understandably, the player has become increasingly frustrated with the Red Devils in recent weeks, which led to him wanting to leave ahead of January.

If the manager is simply refusing to hire young players, it is important that he takes the next step in his career to continue his development and return to his recent trajectory.

It remains to be seen whether the bosses will approve Maynou’s move from Old Trafford, but a move for Adams would almost mean the end of his career at the club.

If the American were to join, the Bournemouth star would fall further down the pecking order after his incredible run in recent months for Andoni Iraola’s side.

Described as a “monster” by journalist Tomi Oladipo, Adams completes 88% of the passes he attempts and averages 45-of-90, both ranking in the top 25% of all midfielders in his division.

Such numbers show his calm nature in possession, which is also reaffirmed by his 0.3 possessions per 90 games, which ranks in the top 15% in the league.

But he’s equally impressive when he’s not in possession, as evidenced by his impressive 2.6 tackles won and 1.6 interceptions per 90 attempts.

Despite his diminutive size, the American won 52% of the duels he took part in and completed 48% of his attempted dribbles, further highlighting his all-round talent in the heart of the team.

It remains to be seen whether his current employers will allow him to leave in the coming weeks, but it is clear that United will be signing a great Premier League talent.

As for Mainu, given his lack of recent activity, the end is in sight at his boyhood club and the player needs a move to reignite his professional career.
