Amorim spoke of pressure at Man UtdSays he must deliver results sooner rather than laterHas only been in the role for a matter of weeksFollow GOAL on WhatsApp! 🟢📱WHAT HAPPENED?

Amorim's men were handed another defeat this week, losing 2-0 to struggling Wolves. The Red Devils' form has not seen the expected upturn following the departure of Erik ten Hag and the arrival of the former Sporting coach. And while Amorim will likely be given time to sort out the mess at Old Trafford, he admitted that he must deliver results at a club the size of Manchester United.

AdvertisementAFPWHAT AMORIM SAID

Speaking ahead of United's game against Newcastle on Monday, Amorim said: "The manager of Manchester United can never, no matter what, be comfortable. They paid the buy-out clause to get me. I know that if you don't win, every manager is in danger and I like that because that is the job. You can argue that I have been here one month and I’ve had only a few training sessions but we are not winning. That is the reality and I'm quite comfortable with that.

"We have to fight against everything because our supporters are always there, but they are tired of this moment. It’s part of football to have these difficult moments. I already knew that it was going to be tough. You expect to win more games,to have players with more confidence to sell the idea and to work and improve things. At this moment it's really hard. We have to survive to have time and then to improve the team."

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Man Utd have delivered just two Premier League wins in Amorim's reign so far. They sit firmly in the bottom half of the table and are showing no signs of improving. However, it will take time for players to adapt to his new system and for the head coach to get a good idea of what his best starting XI is.

Reports suggest there is not much money for Amorim to play with in the January transfer market. Therefore, the Portuguese boss must grit his teeth and continue the process of building a new project brick by brick, even if the results are not coming just yet.

Devon Malcolm and Dean Headley have been added to the panel of ECB match referees as the organisation seeks to address a long-standing failure to appoint non-white officials.ESPNcricinfo revealed in November that John Holder, the former Test umpire, had called for an inquiry following the revelation that the ECB had not appointed a non-white match official to the first-class list since 1992. Holder also claimed they had never appointed a non-white Pitch Liaison Officer, Cricket Liaison Officer, Match Referee, Umpires’ Mentor or Umpires’ Coach.Malcolm and Headley, both highly-respected former England fast bowlers of African-Caribbean heritage who have remained involved in the game in coaching roles, are among the five names added to a ‘supplementary match referees’ panel, alongside Simon Hinks, Alec Swann and Will Smith, Durham’s former County Championship-winning captain. Headley is expected to officiate in the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy next week.Malcolm has previously told ESPNcricinfo that when he expressed an interest in qualifying as an umpire he “was basically told ‘I wouldn’t bother if I was you’.”As a result of such stories, the ECB acknowledged “areas where we need to be better and do more to be inclusive and diverse”.Related

They also announced several measures aimed at improving diversity, including a commitment to ensure that a minimum of 15 percent of umpires on the national panel (the panel operating at county second XI and National County level) are from a Black and minority ethnic (BAME) background by the end of 2021. At present the figure is 8 percent.In addition, the ECB committed to establishing a mentoring programme to encourage umpires from a BAME background and promised to ensure BAME representation on all umpire selection panels.The appointment of Malcolm and Headley would appear to be a first tangible sign of such policies in action. Both men have impeccable records in the game: Malcolm took over 1,000 first-class wickets – 128 of them in Test cricket – while Headley’s fine Test career – he took his 60 wickets at a cost of 27.85 apiece – was curtailed by injury.Meanwhile, Sue Laister, who has served as a Competitions Officer for Recreational Cricket at the ECB, is set to become English cricket’s first female match referee when she oversees Northern Diamonds versus Central Sparks in the first round of the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy, at Headingley on Saturday.ECB Managing Director of County Cricket, Neil Snowball, said: “I am delighted to announce these appointments as we look to develop, expand and diversify our group of officials.”Sue Laister will make history when she becomes the first female Referee this weekend and our five new appointments to the Supplementary Panel bring a further wealth of experience to benefit the men’s and women’s game.”

Spinner emerges from long winter on England fringes with three fine wickets against Northants

Paul Edwards16-Apr-2021April advances and so does the cricket season. Though there is still morning frost in the hollows on the Moss between Southport and Burscough Bridge, the trees’ delicate greening heralds the year’s rapid transformation from dearth to plenty. Last Sunday Emirates Old Trafford was briefly covered in snow, yet on Wednesday morning Lancashire and Northants picked five spinners for this game, three of them specialists. Cricketers sometimes complain about the weather but what would our game be without three seasons’ climatic variations, the lore behind the laws, the entrancements of difference? “Over the apparatus of the Spring is drawn / A constructed festival of pulleys from sky,” wrote W S Graham.The season is barely a week old and already it has produced a quota of surprises, often involving teams who would have been in Division Two had the 2020 season been played without the interruption of the pandemic. But this game, for all Simon Kerrigan’s all-round excellence, (about which, more later) appears unlikely to produce further shocks. Northamptonshire, who were promoted on the final morning of the 2019 season, were ultimately outplayed on the second day of this game and Lancashire’s openers had extended their team’s 128-run first-innings lead to a flagrantly healthy 188 by the close.That Dane Vilas’s team should hold such an advantage is explained in part by the efforts of a tousle-haired, irrepressibly enthusiastic Boltonian, who this afternoon followed what may have been the most frustrating winter of his career by taking three fine wickets. The last of these, that of the Northants skipper, Adam Rossington, for 49, fell to a leg-spinner of such quality that it had folk harking back to the 1993 Ashes Test and another blond twirler. And just for those brief moments Matthew Parkinson was not flattered. The ball pitched outside leg and hit the top of off. It sent social media bonkers and one saw why.Certainly the Lancashire leg-spinner deserves life to treat him kindly for a while. Selected either as a reserve for England’s Test side or as a member of the one-day squads, Parkinson spent almost the entire winter overseas. He played just one game, taking nought for 16 off five overs when representing J E Root’s XI v J C Buttler’s XI in a 50-over practice match at Hambantota, a contest in which Ben Foakes played for both sides and Dom Sibley batted twice. It may not therefore come as much of a consolation to him that he has joined Jonny Bairstow (elected after the 2015 West Indies tour) as a member of the Gracie Fields Society for Neglected Cricketers. Parkinson’s election is based on the fact that his treatment recalls the great Rochdalian’s famous lament: he took his harp to the party but nobody asked him to play.Joe Root and Eoin Morgan’s reluctance was not shared by Vilas this afternoon. Lancashire’s skipper called Parkinson into the attack when the visitors were already in the toils at 45 for 3 in reply to Lancashire’s 305. No doubt delighted to be bowling in a four-day match for the first time since September 2019, Parkinson had Luke Procter caught by Josh Bohannon at mid-on for six and Saif Zaib pouched at backward short leg by Steven Croft for four. In the next over Tom Bailey took the first of his three wickets in ten balls and when Northants were 87 for 8 one wondered whether Lancashire would turn down the chance of batting practice in favour of enforcing the follow-on and maybe gaining another day’s rest.But such thoughts gravely insulted Northants’ capacity to resist, even in the bleakest circumstances. More specifically they failed to take account of Kerrigan’s ability to block an end up and play a few shots of his own while in the company of a more established batter. Nearly thirty overs later, after Kerrigan and Rossington had added 82 for the ninth wicket thereby removing any possibility of the follow-on, we had learned the tough lessons that often follow casual presumption. Parkinson’s ball of the season and the run out of Ben Sanderson for nought ensured that Lancashire’s frustration would not be prolonged.It also allowed Lancashire’s spinner to reflect happily on a day that had also seen him make a career-best 21 not out in the morning session. Those runs were accumulated rather stylishly during a last-wicket stand of 36 with Tom Hartley, whose own 25 also set a new personal mark. The stand was ended when Hartley swung Kerrigan to deep square leg and that wicket prompted some of us to ponder when, if ever, one club has helped in the development of two county cricketers, each of them skilled in the same precise discipline, who have then represented opposite sides in a first-class fixture.Kerrigan last bowled left-arm spin for Ormskirk in 2017 and Hartley did so as recently as 2019, so this match is already a proud occasion for the Brook Lane club and also for the Liverpool Competition, the league in which it plays. For the umpteenth time, one wondered where first-class cricket in England would be without clubs like Ormskirk or the many others who understand their broader responsibilities to the game. Deep down the gurgler, probably.

Despite a quiet transfer window so far, Liverpool are reportedly "well informed" about a potential deal to sign an in-demand midfielder ahead of the likes of Leicester City this summer.

Liverpool transfer news

The Reds are yet to welcome a single incoming to truly get the Arne Slot era off to a flying start, with Michael Edwards and Richard Hughes perhaps waiting for the Dutchman to assess his squad in pre-season. Liverpool, of course, remain without the likes of Trent Alexander-Arnold and Virgil van Dijk following their Euro 2024 exploits, further delaying Slot's chance to plan his best side.

That said, Alexander-Arnold's absence has not stopped the rumours from flowing. Reports in Spain have recently gone as far to say that the right-back has already agreed a deal to sign for Real Madrid upon the expiry of his current Liverpool contract next summer. Losing Alexander-Arnold would undoubtedly be a major blow and the Reds risk the saga dominating the headlines unless they welcome some incomings.

On that front, and with the transfer window slamming shut in just over a month, things could yet pick up at Anfield. According to Rudy Galetti, Liverpool are "well informed" about a potential deal to sign Matt O'Riley from Celtic this summer in a move worth over £25m.

It's quite the race for the Dane's signature, given Leicester City's alleged interest on top of those around Europe, and it now seems as though Liverpool could surprisingly emerge as a suitor for O'Riley's signature.

"Phenomenal" O'Riley would star next to Mac Allister

The sheer thought of O'Riley combining with Mac Allister at the heart of Liverpool's midfielder is a mouth-watering enough prospect to get behind. The Dane dominated in Scotland last season to earn such interest and looks increasingly likely to seal a move away from Celtic, despite their efforts to keep hold of their star man.

League stats 23/24 (via FBref)	Matt O'Riley	Alexis Mac Allister
Starts	37	31
Goals	18	5
Assists	13	5

Celtic boss and former Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers certainly won't be keen on the idea of losing O'Riley, having said via Stv News last season: “He has been absolutely phenomenal really in his consistency. I think if we lacked anything as a team, it was probably that.

“But from an individual perspective his goal return…I think someone said he had scored his first goal (of last season) in January of last year. So to look at his numbers now, it’s huge testament to himself because the work he puts in, the focus he puts in every single day at training to improve and be better, that’s clearly been rewarded by his team-mates and everyone else. It’s very well deserved.”

  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Now, former Netherlands defender Andre Ooijer, who worked with Van Nistelrooy at PSV Eindhoven, has revealed his close friend's sadness, having snubbed multiple offers to manage other clubs in order to work at the "club he loves most". During his time as manager, United went unbeaten in four games.

• WHAT ANDRE OOIJER SAID

  Ooijer said: “Ruud wanted to stay as assistant. He would have said something if he wasn’t interested in working with Amorim. Ruud has had the chance to be manager or head coach at other clubs, but he deliberately did not take those jobs because he wanted to work at the club he loves most.

  “Don’t forget Ruud did really well at United, a draw against Chelsea and victories in the other three matches. You could tell the fans liked him so much. You only had to watch how they reacted to him after his last match. He did so well under difficult circumstances. He has stayed unbeaten as a manager. If Amorim does not get the right results in the first few games, the crowd could start calling again for Ruud.”

  WHAT NEXT?

  Van Nistelrooy has been linked with a potential move to the Championship with Burnley. In the meantime, Amorim's United play Ipswich Town after the international break.

It's been a mixed preseason for Manchester United thus far, with a 1-0 loss to Rosenborg followed up by a 2-0 win over Rangers, but one thing the club have seemingly got right this summer is their transfer business.

The Sir Jim Ratcliffe revolution looks to be thoroughly underway as the exciting additions of Joshua Zirkzee and Leny Yoro have already indicated the progressive direction the Red Devils are heading in, and it looks like more exciting names are set to come through the doors of Old Trafford in the coming weeks.

One of the names heavily touted for a move to United would be the ideal player to replace Sofyan Amrabat and has even won comparisons to a player the Red Devils were heavily linked with last summer: Frenkie de Jong.

Manchester United transfer news

According to a recent update from Sky Sports Germany reporter Florian Plettenberg, United are keen to bring Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Manuel Ugarte to Manchester this summer and have already made "several verbal offers."

However, while Plettenberg claims the player himself wants to make the move, he also reveals that the Red Devils' offers have been "too low."

According to the German journalist, the Parisians are "demanding" at least €70m – £59m – for the Uruguayan's signature, and negotiations are ongoing.

It would be an expensive transfer to get over the line, but Ugarte would undoubtedly be an upgrade on Amrabat and, therefore, worth it – the comparison to De Jong is just a bonus.

How Ugarte compares to De Jong and Amrabat

So, before we examine how Ugarte stacks up against Amrabat, let's look at this comparison with De Jong and where it comes from.

It stems from FBref, which compared players in similar positions in last season's Champions League, created a list of the ten most comparable players for each one, and concluded that the Barcelona ace was the fourth most similar midfielder to the PSG ace in the competition.

They didn't reach this conclusion purely off the eye test, though. Instead, it was based on how closely the pair ranked in several key underlying numbers, such as progressive carries, passing accuracy, live passes, tackles won, blocks and clearances, all per 90.

So, with his similarities to the talented Dutchman cleared up, how well does the Uruguayan "monster," as Statman Dave dubbed him, compare to the player he could either replace or compete with next season – depending on what happens in the market – Amrabat?

Well, when we look at their underlying numbers from 2023/24, it becomes quickly apparent that the former Sporting CP ace is the far superior midfielder.

For example, while he comes out second best for clearances and progressive passes, he comes out way ahead in almost every other metric, including non-penalty expected goals plus assists, progressive carries, shots, passing accuracy and key passes, tackles won, and interceptions, ball recoveries, aerial duels won, and he even makes fewer errors that lead to a shot, all per 90.

Ultimately, while Amrabat isn't necessarily a poor player, he is significantly worse than Ugarte. If Erik ten Hag wants to have a more complete and competent midfield next season, then he should prioritise signing the PSG ace, even if that means matching the French side's valuation.

Their own Rodri: Man Utd want one of 'the best CMs in the world'

Manchester United looking for their very own Rodri

ByConnor Holden Jul 25, 2024

Tim Seifert has all the shots in the book, ranging from the scoop over the keeper’s head to the down-the-track leg-side slog to the perfect straight drive. But, until recently, he didn’t seem to have the clarity to pause and reflect on the game-scenario before pulling out his trick shots. For instance, in the Super Over against Chris Jordan at Eden Park last year, he searched for the scoop when he might have been better off trying to clear the shorter straight boundary. Jordan knew that Seifert would go searching for that shot and darted a wide yorker away from his reach. It resulted in another Super Over heartbreak for New Zealand.

****

A year on, Seifert understands his strengths better and knows when to play the right shot at the right time. This mindset change came to fore during his back-to-back half-centuries in the ongoing T20I series against Pakistan.In the series opener at Eden Park, Seifert shelved his scoops and ramps and instead focussed on timing orthodox shots like defensive push off Faheem Ashraf which whistled past extra-cover for four. The in-form Glenn Phillips holed out in the next over, but Seifert still played within himself, gliding a rapid short delivery from Haris Rauf to the third-man boundary. He fell for 57 and after the game said that he was disappointed at not finishing off the chase. Two days later, Seifert remedied that.

The conditions at Seddon Park were strange. The new ball didn’t swing, but then Tim Southee got a semi-new ball to move both ways. Then, in the second innings, Pakistan’s seamers got spongy bounce from a good length. Wary of that bounce, Seifert realised that scooping the ball in the ‘V’ behind the wicket would be a better option than looking to hit it in the ‘V’ in front of it.After plays-and misses against Shaheen Afridi and Ashraf, Brendon McCullum, who has coached Seifert at Trinbago Knight Riders and Kolkata Knight Riders, called it on the commentary that the batsman would “pick up the ball” behind the wicket. The scoop found the boundary, as McCullum predicted, and Seifert was off and running. He would be unstoppable on Sunday, finishing with an unbeaten 84 off 63 balls.”There was a tricky little period when Kane [Williamson] came in,” Seifert said at the post-match media conference. “But, you know in T20 cricket if you just ride that wave, the tough little period could just be one or two overs. Then you get one good ball out of the middle – that gets your innings underway.”Personally, [I] felt like I chewed up a couple of balls and then that’s when I did my scoop and got my second half of my innings underway. I just felt on that wicket, hitting through the line over the top of the bowler was a tough option with the ball popping up a little bit. I thought it was a good time to bring the ramp out and it worked.”Seifert felt that he went too hard at the top against West Indies at the start of the international home summer and tossed his wickets away. In the first T20I against West Indies, he backed away and spliced a catch to mid-on, and in the second he jumped across off and dragged the ball back onto his stumps. Against Pakistan, he learnt from those errors, he said, and maintained a stable base while meeting the ball.”Being able to play 360 [degrees] – sometimes a lot of shots are going through your head, which can be a downfall as well,” Seifert said. “So, I think it was a big learning from the West Indies series that I got off to a good start, but I didn’t really push through. The two times I got out, I got myself out with trying things.Tim Seifert hooks during the course of his half-century•Getty Images

“So, it’s just a matter of standing still and reacting. You know when you need to bring those shots out like tonight there were a few dots balls that built up, so I knew it was the right time and right option. I’ve just learnt over experience and obviously not doing as well as I wanted last series as to when to actually play those shots and when to go hard and what bowlers to attack.”The experiences that have contributed to Seifert’s evolution include stints under McCullum at both the Knight Riders franchises in the CPL and IPL. Even during Managed Isolation Quarantine (MIQ) in Christchurch following his return to New Zealand, Seifert was doing shadow-keeping with McCullum. Indeed, McCullum was particularly pleased with Seifert’s ability to adapt over a short period of time.”There are people who want to learn and then there are people who go and get what they desperately want in the game,” McCullum told the host broadcaster. “He picked up the phone and tried to get some help around him but then I was lucky enough to spend some time with Seif over the past six or seven months. I’ve seen his work ethic up close and his ability to develop quickly is something very few players have. Not just his batting but his wicketkeeping has been one of the most improved aspects that I’ve seen. His best years are in front of him. The rest of the world needs to see over the next couple of years to see how good this guy can be.”Seifert’s progress has also caught the attention of Chennai Super Kings coach and commentator Stephen Fleming who said: “There’s a team in yellow that might have a look at you as well. Not just Brendon’s team, there are other teams out there!”From having been ignored for the 50-over World Cup in 2019, Seifert is now becoming too hard to ignore.

Manchester United will be hoping for a season better than their previous one in 2024/25. They finally know who their manager will be; Erik ten Hag will keep his job at the helm of the club, following the club’s post-season review. It was confirmed recently by reputable journalist David Ornstein that the Dutchman will lead his side into the next campaign.

Indeed, the Red Devils will need to improve on their lacklustre Premier League efforts. They finished eighth in the league, with 60 points and a -1 goal difference, eight points behind Aston Villa in fourth. However, they massively overachieved. As per Understat’s expected points metric, they should have finished 14th, with just 44xPTS to their name.

An FA Cup final victory secured United both a trophy and a spot in Europe next season. Goals from academy graduate duo Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo sealed the win over Manchester City, giving Ten Hag his second trophy in as many years and a place in the Europa League next season.

United will need to dip into the transfer market over the summer in order to strengthen their squad for next season. Already, they have been linked with one player who can add both depth and quality to their squad.

Man Utd target La Liga attacker

The player in question here is Barcelona and Brazil striker Vitor Roque. The 19-year-old joined Barca in a big-money move from Brazilian side Athletico Paranaense in January but has struggled to find his feet and could depart the club this summer.

At least, that is according to reports in Spain, via Football365. It's explained that the Red Devils have already placed a bid for Roque, but have “had their first offer” rejected by the Spanish giants.

This transfer rumour comes after his agent, André Cury, called former manager Xavi out in May for Roque’s lack of game time. Cury said that the young Brazilian will only leave permanently and that nobody “understands why Xavi doesn’t play him” stating that they will speak to the club in due time.

This has opened the door to a potential move to Old Trafford for Roque. However, a potential transfer fee has not been named should United look to sign the Brazilian. However, as per Football Observatory, Roque is valued at £51m. Barca paid £25.6m up front for Roque, with a suggested £26.4m in add-ons potentially being paid.

How Roque would fit in at Man Utd

To say Roque was underused last season by Xavi would be something of an understatement. He made 14 La Liga appearances, scoring twice. However, the 331 minutes he played equates to just three full 90-minute games.

However, he is still a quality striker despite being just 19 years of age. In Roque’s final season in the Brazilian Serie A, he scored 12 goals and registered three assists in 25 games, with football talent scout Jacek Kulig explaining that his “quality is indisputable”, whilst also praising his mentality.

The teenager is an excellent ball carrier, something that is reflected in his Fbref stats. The youngster averages an attempted 3.50 take-ons per 90 minutes, and completes 1.17 of those take-ons. This places him in the top 7% and 16% respectively of strikers. Not only that, he averages 1.37 carries into the final third, ranking him in the top 12%, and 1.17 carries into the penalty box, placing him in the top 11%.

This carrying from deeper areas could suit United down to a tee. Roque would offer a completely different profile than Rasmus Hojlund, who impressed in his debut season at Old Trafford. The Dane scored 16 goals in 43 appearances during the 2023/24 campaign.

Last season, Hojlund was used as a back-to-goal type of striker,for United, whereas he is perhaps better utilised in another way. As Sky Sports analyst Adam Bate pointed out, Hojlund “would prefer to be running channels, finding space with his movement” than holding the ball up and carrying from deep.

However, Roque, a slick dribbler, may be better at dropping deeper to link up play. He is just 5 foot 7 and uses his slight frame to help slalom around defenders. Dropping deeper would allow him to dribble from deeper areas and carry the ball forward, or link up play with opponents offering a completely different profile to the Dane, who prefers to get down the sides of the pitch.

Described as “truly magnificent” by the aforementioned Kulig, although we haven’t seen the best of him at Barca, he is no doubt a talented player. Just look at his form during his final season in Brazil. If this is a deal the Red Devils get over the line, they would add a new profile to their squad and bring in another exciting and talented centre-forward.
