Will United ever have a decent midfield?

I don't get it!

When ETH started, we identified midfield as being a weakness. We were getting overrun. Pogba was lazy, Matic had left (but was past it anyway), McTomaney didn't cover the runners, Fred was too error prone. Beaky lacked the strength for the premier league.

A year later, we've added Ericksen, Casemiro and Mount. Yet, our midfield is still seen as our biggest weakness. I'm not trying to make a point. I'm just genuinely baffled why these signings haven't improved us at all and we're still missing Scholes and Carrick.

It's because we keep targeting the wrong profiles and ages.

United doesn't do midfield, it's all about fast players on the sides who can hopefully run really fast

And then cut inside and pass backwards or shoot waywardly

Antony moreso. Sancho usually takes up a watching brief from the bench

We could really do with an Amrabat to join the clowns at the Circus.
