Amorim now has transfers done which are pillars for future Man Utd success

Ruben Amorim is focused on a long-term vision for Manchester United and recent transfer activity suggests the foundations for future success may already be in place.

The club's recruitment strategy over the past few months has been notably shrewd, particularly in the defensive department, which could yield significant long-term benefits.

One key area of focus is the potential partnership between young defenders Leny Yoro and Ayden Heaven. Amorim has expressed high hopes for Yoro, describing him as a player who could become "a top, top, top player" in the future.

Yoro, considered one of the brightest defensive talents in European football, has already made 17 appearances for United this season, stepping up following Lisandro Martinez's season-ending ACL injury. This opportunity could allow Yoro to cement his place in Amorim's preferred starting lineup.

Ayden Heaven, another promising youngster, made his Premier League debut against Arsenal, where he did not look out of place despite being described by Amorim as "possibly too relaxed."

His performance in the 1-1 draw against the title challengers highlighted his potential to contribute at the highest level. With ten first-team players absent due to injury and Patrick Dorgu suspended for the match, Heaven's inclusion underscored the depth of United's youth prospects.

The emergence of these young defenders is particularly timely given Manchester United's current injury crisis, with key players like Martinez and Amad sidelined. Amad, who suffered an ankle injury, may return later in the season, but Martinez's absence for the remainder of the campaign has opened the door for Yoro and Heaven to gain valuable experience.

Amorim's long-term vision extends beyond immediate results, as evidenced by his comments on the team's style of play. Following the Arsenal draw, he noted, "We press quite well, but in the future, I want to play a different football, to spend more time attacking with the ball in the last third, than defending in the low block."

This ambition to evolve United's approach suggests a focus on building a squad capable of dominating possession and creating sustained attacking pressure, a style that could benefit from the ball-playing abilities of young defenders like Yoro and Heaven.

The draw against Arsenal, while extending United's poor run to just one win in six games across all competitions, offered signs of progress. Fans and commentators have expressed growing optimism, with some declaring themselves firmly in the "Ruben Amorim believer" camp.

One fan remarked, "Really nice effort, and I am just impressed with how things are being held together despite all the chaos. Even if we lose on Thursday, it will be fine, and eventually, this team under this manager will rise again." This sentiment reflects a willingness to embrace Amorim's long-term project, even amidst short-term struggles.

United's transfer strategy, combined with Amorim's faith in young talent, positions the club to build a robust defensive core for years to come. If Yoro and Heaven can develop into consistent first-team players, they could form the backbone of a Manchester United side capable of challenging for major honors, aligning with Amorim's vision for the club's future.
