Manchester United need some help in the January transfer window. The Red Devils sacked Erik ten Hag and brought in Ruben Amorim to change their fortunes earlier in the season, but recent results have not gone their way.

It might have felt odd at the time, given Manchester United were fresh from a decisive 4-0 win against Everton, but Ruben Amorim predicting the arrival of a “storm” now appears prophetic.

For whatever reason, talented individual players cannot repeatedly execute the most basic drills when they need to.
