As a former The Athletic editor raised in Brooklyn with a data-driven mind and a passion for football’s raw truth, I’ve watched this transfer chaos unfold. Manchester United, under Amorin, is chasing Brazilian talent Kuniya while neglecting core tactical alignment. The £62.5m deal? A mirage. Clubs are betting on names that don’t exist. This isn’t recruitment—it’s theater. I’m not here to sell players; I’m here to expose the system.
