The Tactics Show: Amorim's Ideal XI

Daily #816 | The winter transfer window has closed not so much with a bang but a whimper as far as Manchester United are concerned. There are three in and three out... and yet the details matter. United have bought one senior player and two youth players this January, and then loaned three senior players out - including Marcus Rashford. Ed and Dominic analyse the window, what it means for United's transfer strategy, and where the club might go from here.

#815 | Beaten by Crystal Palace at Old Trafford for the fourth time in five years. Not so much a fortress as as comfortable nest for the Eagles. United, without a striker on the pitch, were toothless (in the Premier League) once again. There were chances but only in halves and United are far from an efficient finishing team anyway. It's a seventh defeat at Old Trafford this season and, frankly, one United deserved. After a decent performance in midweek, where do United go from here? Ed and Dan discuss the game, look at the transfer market, and preview Leicester's trip to Old Trafford in the FA Cup.

Daily #814 | United face a tricky process evolving Ruben Amorim's squad to fit the new manager's needs. The club needs to restructure the wage budget and target players who are willing to come to a non Champions League club (without the Champions League wages)... while trying to get decent fees for players who are wanted.

#813 | Victory in Romania and it really should have been a rout. This was perhaps the closest iteration of a Ruben Amorim side yet. United were dominant in possession, creative in attack and but from some profligate finishing and desperate defending, the visitors would have run up a cricket score. Ed and Dan digest United's progress towards the last 16, debate the latest moves in the transfer market and look ahead to Crystal Palace at the weekend.

#812 | Patrick Dorgu, the Danish international left-back, wing-back, inside forward is set to join United for €30 million from Lecce. We finally have a left footed left back folks. Hallelujah! Praise the football gods. Ed and Dominic talk about the qualities Dorgu may bring to the team, think about some of the weaknesses and try and place the transfer in context.

#811 | It's 30 years since Eric Cantona kung-fu kicked a Crystal Palace supporter at Selhurst Park. It's still one of the most iconic moments in football history. To celebrate the launch of their new two-part podcast episode on Eric Cantona, we're joined by the Upshot's Zach Sweeny-Lynch to recount a few stories about the mad Frenchman!

#810 | Victory at Craven Cottage but with just one shot on target, there's plenty of questions about the path forward. This is still not a side that creates or scores freely despite the strong defensive performance in London. Then there's news about the future of Old Trafford, with government support apparently forthcoming, and that damn fine footballer Antony joins Betis on loan.

#809 | Look, we don't want to be rude, but there won't be many tears shed for Antony when he departs on loan for Real Betis this week. Costing the club £85m when he joined two and a half years ago, the Brazilian has rarely delivered on the pitch and been, well, a bit more of a hit off it. But where does Antony rank in the worst post-Fergie transfers? Ed and Adam discuss.
