With Dean Henderson on the verge of leaving, Manchester United are looking to replace Andre Onana with Odisseas Vlachodimos from Benfica.

Odisseas Vlachodimos, a goalkeeper for Benfica, has been tabbed as Andre Onana’s backup at Manchester United, with Dean Henderson expected to leave.

According to Fabrizio Romano, the Red Devils are contemplating a move for Vlachodimos of Benfica as insurance for starter Andre Onana in goal. According to the article, Vlachodimos will take Dean Henderson’s spot in the squad after Henderson leaves permanently for either Crystal Palace or Nottingham Forest.

Despite a summer of transfer activity Manchester United have managed to start the season looking like ‘the new Spurs’ and have the same old problems… they are soft, flimsy and vulnerable

Keep Manchester United’s Rasmus Hojlund in mind as he recovers from a back ιnjury; he’ll be expected to shoulder a heavy load in the offense soon.

Even after a disappointing loss at Tottenham, Erik ten Hag made it sound like things weren’t so bad. And they aren’t, because August is still running into its waning days.

The events of Saturday night, as well as United’s opening triumph over Wolves, serve as a sharp reminder that the team has brought many of its previous problems into the new season.

Roy Keane, who never used tweezers when an axe was nearby, called them “the new Spurs,” and the implication is clear. Gentle handling. The side that gives in first. It’s hard to аrgue otherwise, given how they dominated the first half before folding under the pressure of a young, vibrant Spurs team that realized it had little to feаr from the rest of the match.

Of course, there were opportunities for the game to go the other way, but it only serves to bolster the argument that Hojlund will be put under a great deal of pressure when the time comes for him to make his debut.United need him to make up for a big deficit in their scoring, but as a relatively unknown 20-year-old, it will be difficult for him to shoulder the expectations that come with a sum north of £60million.

Ten Hag protested late into the night that he has goal scorers across his squad, and he does. However, his team took 22 shots at Tottenham but only six were on target, and the game was marked by numerous missed opportunities. The most blatant miss was a sitter by Bruno Fernandes in the first half, but United still needs three or four solid chances to score this year.

Their lack of depth in other positions, as evidenced by Marcus Rashford’s preference to play on the wing in Hojlund’s absence, is cause for concern, despite the fact that United’s primary problems lie elsewhere.Their midfield weakness was on full display against the Wolves, and this defeat only serves to highlight that fact. Mason Mount is a talented player who can adjust, but he is not clicking with Fernandes right now. They aren’t picking up on the nuances of each other’s games, the things that turn good players into a cohesive unit, and despite Mount receiving a more thorough brief on Saturday, Casemiro was still easily overpowered.

In the first half, Pape Matar Sarr had two opportunities that resulted from runs of 50 yards or more into the middle of the field without being challenged. A similar unimpeded run into the box followed his opening goal, a testament to his skill. He had a fantastic day, as did the outstanding Yves Bissouma and James Maddison next to him, but United made it easy for them.

Even though Ten Hag chose to hide behind his thoughts of a good first half, he must be concerned about the team’s lack of intensity in the second half, which was epitomized by the sluggishness of Raphael Varane and Christian Eriksen in the buildup to Tottenham’s second goal, an own goal by Lisandro Martinez.

It’s way too soon to declare a crisis, but we can already see that nothing much changed over the summer.

Spurs, meanwhile, have had an image makeover under Ange Postecoglou, so the opposite is true. We don’t know how long it will last, and Richarlison isn’t a suitable substitute for Harry Kane as a lone striker, but for such a young club, they are playing some fantastic оffensive football. They were fearless, swift, and smart; the complete antithesis of the team they defeated.

 

It’s been talked about how well we play,” remarked captain Son Heung-min. “I like it. Even though this is only the second game of the season, we are having a great time. Keep your cool, please. Fun, attacking football that’s already rather good but has a lot of room to grow
