Treatment of Amorim Is WILD | United's Transfer Deadline Looming | Rio Reacts
19:12|Welcome to Rio Reacts! I'm here in my new studio, and with the transfer window in its final week, there's nowhere else I'd rather be. Today, we're diving into the absolute madness at Manchester United!TRANSFER CHAOS:Rasmus Hojlund: We break down the loan deal that has him on his way to Napoli. Is this the fresh start he needs, or a tough call for the club?Jadon Sancho: He's reportedly turned down a move to Roma, and I explain why I think it's all about the numbers and a major sticking point in the deal.The Goalkeeper Problem: I give my unfiltered opinion on the uncertainty around Onana and Bayindir, and why Man Utd is pushing for a signing like Senne Lammens. This whole situation just takes me back to the days of Schmeichel and Van der Sar...Midfield Flaw: I analyze why our midfield is the team's biggest weakness—we're lacking the physicality and legs to truly control games. Is Bruno being used too deep?RIO'S TACTICAL INSIGHTS:I'm calling for patience after just two games, but I also give my blueprint for success: a compact team, strong in the first 10 minutes, that can build on those positive spells.FAN Q&A:I open up my Instagram broadcast channel to hear your opinions! We get into some passionate debates on signing a new goalkeeper and a holding six. I also go on a rant about who was responsible for letting David De Gea leave the club!Don't forget to stay tuned! We have some great interviews dropping soon with Wayne Rooney and Michael Owen.#ManUtd #ManchesterUnited #MUFC #Transfers #Hojlund #Sancho #DeGea #RasmusHojlund #JadonSancho #TransferWindow #RioReacts #FootballAnalysis #Podcast #PremierLeague #ManUnited #FootballSubscribe: http://bit.ly/15QO9WERio Ferdinand Presents: rioferdinandpresents.comRio Ferdinand Presents Instagram: https://instagram.com/rioferdinandpresentsRio Ferdinand Presents Twitter/X: https://x.com/FIVEUKRio Ferdinand Presents Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rioferdinandpresentsRio Ferdinand Presents TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@rioferdinandpresentsRio Ferdinand Presents Threads: https://www.threads.net/@rioferdinandpresentsRio Ferdinand Instagram: https://instagram.com/rioferdy5Rio Ferdinand Twitter/X: https://x.com/rioferdy5Rio Ferdinand Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/RioFerdinandOfficialRio Ferdinand TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@rioferdy5Rio Ferdinand Threads: https://www.threads.net/@rioferdy5Is Kobbie fighting a losing battle? | What I was doing at 15 - Max Dowman comparison
