I feel we need another central defender, younger in age, with the physique of Jaap Stam or MaGuire.
Yoro don't exude strength, more on agility.
I feel the current Man Utd squad, as long as injuries are kept at bay, play with teamwork and workrate, can make it into Top 4.
But will need Onana to be better in reflexes.
And win all home matches.

I see Lindelof starting, I somehow feel it is not going to be.
Maybe Amorim see the remaining teams like Arsenal, Liverpool already in SFinals, he chicken out.
But he might have regret a little as the team managed to grab 3 goals with Fraser Forster self imploded in the 2nd half.
Who could have expected that??
Sometimes things can happened as the ball is round. If Amorim start his super star Amad, things could be very different.
As for what you mentioned, De Ligt would be the successor to Maguire. But I seriously think he is miles behind Maguire.
What I seriously think is the team lack a very true SC. One who get you the goals. Goals are what killed off opponents even if they play better than you.
In the mould of Kane, Solanke....
One who is very alert in the box and also also can charge at defenders/GK one on one.
Amorim must die die get Viktor Gyökeres on board asap.
SCP not doing well since Amorim left. So nice chance to get him on board.
Sell Trashford, dump Zirkzee back to Serie A.
Get this goal machine. Hojlund is still young, so can stay and learn from him.
I still remember the Europa final between red hot Leverkusen v Atalanta last season. Everyone was expecting Leverkusen to win, but they were beaten 3-0 by Atalanta.
One main reason was Alonso opted for a striker-less formation and left his top hitman Boniface on the bench.
Leverkusen lack an offensive outlet and Atalanta took full control of the proceedings.
To put it vulgar, what is the use you can pump the gal but cannot shoot?

The gal needs to feel you shooting your hot juice inside her to feel shiok.
GK - time to source for a new GK. Dump Bayindir out if got chance. Still needs Onana now. But he is botak's old guard and very inconsistent, so needs to be replaced in the end.
