Luis Enrique recently said “my dream is to have 20 players who can play anywhere”.

With that in mind I’ve used this quote as inspiration when it comes to United’s transfer window in the summer.
Positions we need to strengthen: LB, CM (x3), LW. ?: LCB, RB & ST

A thread

@Pea26855103Easy Do you have hope for 2030, maybe this is a building block? I know the U20s had a good showing at that World Cup. Néiser Villarreal is a talent I really like

[Seth @SethMUFC]

Colombia are so hard to read going into the World Cup. I am confident they get through their group but beyond that, they can quite easily go deep into the tournament and surprise a few teams and by equal measure they could lose in the first round. They have all the potential

[Seth @SethMUFC]

@montealegre1952 This is the optimism I do like and I can’t disagree with you, because if things come together I can see it. I think I believe things work out when it matters but I’m not confident

[Seth @SethMUFC]

@Vararse_ Ordoñez & Mora, great investments. Ecuadors defence is unreal

[Seth @SethMUFC]

@sidlowe For anyone confused, Mirra is the women’s champ. As for the others, I’m with you, I do not recognize many

[Seth @SethMUFC]

Colombia’s play style is very high risk high reward, but if they don’t find their rhythm I think they need to find a way to play against bigger opposition. I do imagine they will. The game against France was an eye opener

[Seth @SethMUFC]

@louis84677027 Absolutely. A better team is ahead in this

[Seth @SethMUFC]

@louis84677027 I am, that was what prompted the thought. Some worrying signs. Their recent friendlies haven’t been at all assured

[Seth @SethMUFC]

It’s just whether they show up

[Seth @SethMUFC]

And not long after, he does break and finally wins a slam. It was his to lose after the Sinner & Djokovic eliminations and he has managed it.

[Seth @SethMUFC]

Alexander Zverev is one game away from becoming a grand slam champion, & putting an end to those who say he’s the best player to have never won a slam. Cobolli’s highs have been sky high but his lows are as deep as the ocean. You can’t play like that in a final & get away with it

That might be the point that Cobolli looks back on if he goes on to lose this

[Seth @SethMUFC]

@Ankaman616 That said, full back is still a concern. Ibanez and Danilo will need to be at their best. The midfield balance is just more important

[Seth @SethMUFC]

@Ankaman616 It’s Ancelotti amending an error basically. The early plan was a 4-2-4 but that has not looked perfect (the 3 with Paqueta has given them a far better structure) so Ederson will be a much needed body in midfield. Casemiro, Fabinho, Bruno G, Danilo Santos & Paqueta wasn’t enough

[Seth @SethMUFC]

Cobolli, that is incredible

[Seth @SethMUFC]

Andrey Santos will be overlooked, because he was so close to getting the call up. It is harsh. Vitinho or Vitor Reis, two other names you could’ve used. Matheus Pereira, if you want a midfielder. Kaiki is another, you could’ve brought him along, or even Juba.

[Seth @SethMUFC]

Ederson called up for Brazil. Fabinho can deputise as the right back I would assume, Bremer can likely fill in as well as Danilo & Ibañez. Ederson’s callup suggests the midfield 3 is on Ancelotti’s mind, and he wants to add more depth. I think it’s harsh on Andrey Santos though.

Cobolli!

[Seth @SethMUFC]

Nice to see Alex Eala win the Birmingham open. I’m looking forward to seeing how she does at Queens this upcoming week, alongside the likes of Anisimova, Rybakina, Zheng, Jovic & Mboko

@NathanJoyes1 The lack of research a lot of pundits and big broadcasters do is a bit frustrating. It’s not difficult to get in contact with someone who can catch you up with these national teams
