Richards points out Red Devils star Amorin must be replaced, but Ineus is worried about a big problem

Former Manchester City defender Mica Richards.

Mika Richards pointed to a Manchester United star who had to be replaced in the next transfer window, while Alan Hiller claimed they needed to sign four players.

The Red Devils lost 0-1 to Tottenham in the Europa League final on Wednesday night, the most important game of their 2024/25 season.

Manchester United have a chance to recover the losses of this chaotic season in the UEFA Cup final, they have the chance to win trophys, UEFA Champions League qualification and huge prizes, but their performance is far from enough because they naturally lost.

With only one game left, Ruben Amorin's side is in danger of No. 17 in the Premier League and obviously needs a large-scale roster reconstruction.

Most of the players in Manchester United are either not strong enough or are not suitable for Amorin's preferred 3-4-3 formation, and Hiller has picked "four important positions" to strengthen the roster this summer.

"They need to invest huge sums in four positions," Hiller said in the latest episode of "The Remaining Is Football."

"They need a new goalkeeper, a new central defender, they certainly need some new midfielder and obviously a top striker, so there are four important positions."

Richards claimed they "need two new fullbacks" and Diogo Dalot (approved at £29m in the transfer market) was considered unsuitable for Amorin's formation.

"I think they need two new full-backs, too," Richards said.

"Dallot performed well in the game, but they needed players who could get into the low defense, but when attacking, they knew how to play at the best level in that position and pass the ball into the penalty area.

"We've analyzed how many times they did this season, and they couldn't get the ball into the penalty area, either a mistake in the shooting or a return to the wrong area.

"I'm not saying that Manchester United players are bad, but they're not doing well under the system that the head coach insists on, and that's the problem."

Richards continued: "For me, the biggest question is whether the players are willing to go there and play under that system?

" This has affected the players' performance now. Hoylund received no support in the frontcourt alone. The full-back did not send the ball into the penalty area at the right time. ”

" Manchester United is waiting for Bruno Fernandez's magical performance in basically every game. I can't see that top players want to go to Manchester United this summer. ”

Manchester United star was criticized as "weak weak", Premier League forecasts for the 25/26 season shockingly support the "bounce"

Keane blamed Tottenham's defeat on a player, and Amorin's phone number proved that Manchester United "really in trouble"

"This game was too bad, it was one of the worst finals I've ever seen, but Tottenham wouldn't care at all," Richards added.

"We saw a coach (Postkoglu) adjust his style of the game and it worked, so congratulations to him and Tottenham Hotspurs. ”
