After Manchester United drew 0-0 with Leeds United on July 19, coach Ruben Amorin pointed out without any concealment that the team lacked speed in the midfield and offensive ends.

Amorin was obviously not satisfied with the rhythm Manchester United showed in the game.
In the just-concluded Premier League season, the "Red Devils" scored only 44 goals in total, setting the worst offensive record in recent seasons in team history. This friendly match once again exposed many problems for the team on the offensive end, although new player Mattus Cunia, signed from Wolves for £62.5 million this summer, made her debut in this game.
In this game, Cunha was placed in the front midfielder and moved to the left, while Bruno Fernandez was placed further back. Amorin admitted that such an offensive combination has not yet reached its ideal state. Brentford forward Brian Mbewumo, who is about to join, is also highly expected, hoping that he can bring more speed and breakthrough ability to the offensive line.
"We lacked speed in the midfield, which made it very difficult to advance overall." Amorin said in an interview with Manchester United official media MUTV after the game. "We created some opportunities, but obviously there is still a lot of work to do. This is just the first warm-up match we played with our Premier League opponents, and it was a test of good quality."
Speaking of the performance of new aid Cunha, Amorin said: "He showed the qualities we needed, so It is the ability to actively intersperse and connect offense and defense in the midfield and frontcourt. His cooperation with Bruno is not tacit enough, but I believe this will gradually improve. We have other options, such as Kobe Maynu or Mason Mount. The key is to improve the overall quality of the third area of the frontcourt."
Next, Manchester United will go to the United States to embark on a preseason warm-up tour, against West Ham United, Bournemouth and Everton, and the time will last from July 26 to August 3. The team will then return to Old Trafford to face Fiorentina on August 9.
"We need to further enhance the team's cohesion, not only among the players, but also among the coaching staff. Everything must gradually stabilize, and the team must improve the rhythm and improve every detail." Amorin emphasized.
