Cunha is definitely not a priority for Manchester United! Amorin convinces Glazer Jr. to sign new Vardy 30 million

Recently, many European sports media have concentrated on striking momentum, and it seems that Manchester United's signing of Wolves striker Matthews Cunnia is a foregone conclusion. But for Amorin, who was highly expected by Red Devils fans, there are obviously many unreasonable things in the rumors of buying Cunya. On the contrary, the young forward Liam Drapp in the Ipswich team, who has been confirmed to be relegated, may be the forward choice that is more in line with Manchester United's reconstruction logic.

Cunya's ending ability is by no means a level of 50 million or above,

The rumors that Cunya joins the Red Devils are first facing doubts at the data level. The Wolves forward has scored 15 sports goals in 32 Premier League appearances this season. Although the data is not shabby, Cunha's attack power can only be considered unsatisfactory for the forward requirements of Manchester United teams. What's more, before joining Wolves, Cunha's performance at Atletico Madrid was mediocre, which made people have to doubt his ability to gain a foothold in the attacking line of the giants.

What is more worthy of being vigilant is that its data per game of losing 16.3 balls is ranked third among all the strikers in the Premier League, which is undoubtedly a worse situation for Manchester United's already fragile ability to take balls in the frontcourt. Cunia's personality problem is another risk. "442" magazine disclosed that he had caused conflicts in the training field three times during his time at Wolves, and the agent was even revealed to use the disclosure of tactical secrets as a bargaining chip for renewal negotiations. This Pogba-style locker room philosophy is undoubtedly unacceptable to Amorin and B Fei.

Drapp is more suitable for Manchester United than Cunha, compared with Ipswich's young household registration striker Liam Delapp has shown a higher cost-effectiveness. Despite the team's disastrous Premier League debut season, the young scorer still scored 46% of the team's total goals with 12 league goals, with an expected goal value of 0.68 per 90 minutes (xG) almost twice the sum of Hoylund (0.31) and Zilkerze (0.29). Technical analysis shows that Drapp can complete 7.2 high-speed sprints in each game while maintaining an 85% pass success rate. This characteristic of combining impact and tactical discipline is perfectly in line with the high-level oppression system emphasized by Amorin.

Drapp is expected by England fans as the next Valdy

For the Red Devils, the feasibility of this deal is based on a dual basis: the £30 million liquidated damages triggered by Ipswich's relegation, and the special relationship between coach McKenna and Manchester United's management. This former Red Devils assistant coach who has assisted Mourinho and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has not only created a feat to lead Ipswich to skip two consecutive levels in the past few years, but also retains the possibility of returning to Manchester United coaching. Manchester United executives are also happy to ask McKenna to continue the Red Devils' genes at the right time.

It is worth noting that in recent interviews, Manchester United's current coach Amorin emphasized that "modern forwards need to have the ability to create opportunities in a small space", which is highly consistent with Drapp's technical characteristics. According to the Portuguese Records, Amorin's team has submitted a 20-page player analysis report to Ratcliff and Glazer Jr., and in addition to technical capabilities, it emphasized its "Valdi-style growth trajectory" - it only took three seasons to complete the triple jump from the League One to the Premier League.

McKenna's good relationship with Manchester United will help players achieve a deal. The current Manchester United forward signing needs to take into account the competitive value and financial health. The rumored transfer fee of £60 million involved in Cunha is obviously contrary to the club's current situation. In contrast, Drapp's plan, the fixed expenditure of 30 million pounds combined with its current weekly salary of 60,000 pounds can not only alleviate the pressure on FFP, but also conform to the strategy of building a younger team. Against the backdrop of Ipswich's determination to relegate, the deal is expected to advance quickly after the summer window opens, and Manchester United may include some youth training players recognized by McKenna in the transaction to further reduce cash expenditures.
