Manchester United enter the January transfer window with a structurally vulnerable midfield that has been repeatedly exposed throughout the 2025/2026 campaign.

Rúben Amorim’s system places heavy tactical and physical demands on the double-pivot; the current profiles within the squad lack the balance, control, and defensive presence required to stabilise the team.

Casemiro’s declining mobility and Bruno Fernandes’ advanced attacking orientation create a partnership that struggles to manage transitions, sustain pressure-resistant build-up, or provide reliable defensive coverage.

The alternatives, including Manuel Ugarte and Kobbie Mainoo, have not fully addressed these shortcomings, leaving the Red Devils without a consistent midfield foundation capable of supporting Amorim’s aggressive wing-back structure.

This report uses detailed data analysis to evaluate the profiles most suited to solving Manchester United’s midfield imbalance.

By examining both Manchester United’s current midfield metrics and the performance data of Carlos Baleba and Adam Wharton, we aim to determine which profile offers the strongest fit for Amorim’s tactical framework and the club’s long-term requirements.

Lazio beat AC Milan in their Coppa Italia Round of 16 encounter at the Stadio Olimpico, following Milan’s win at San Siro in their league fixture.

Lazio made a very important step forward in the Coppa Italia with a performance and result that could also change the course and events of their season.

With a big win over a powerful Milan side, Lazio will gain a lot psychologically, as this win will give them a boost.

Following their win, Lazio will face Bologna in the quarter-finals.

On the other hand, Milan failed to achieve one of their seasonal objectives: reaching the final of this tournament while challenging for the top four spots in the league.

The Coppa Italia was a priority for Milan mainly because they do not play in Europe this season.

With their failure to qualify for the quarter-finals, Milan will now only play Serie A games until the end of the season.

This tactical analysis article will explore the reasons for this loss while focusing mainly on what Lazio did to push Milan into committing several mistakes in this match.
