Manchester United push to restore home form

Manchester United aim to restore home form as Ruben Amorim pushes a bold plan to revive Old Trafford and back it with a high profile attacking overhaul.

Amorim targets Fortress Old Trafford with new attacking lineup

Ruben Amorim says Old Trafford must become a fortress again as Manchester United begin the 2025-26 Premier League season. Last season the club endured a difficult run at home, losing nine of 19 league games and conceding 28 goals while scoring 23. To change that, United have splashed about £210 million on attackers Benjamin Sesko, Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo as part of a drive to reignite the attack.

The approach signals a shift from cautious rebuilding to a more aggressive push for results. The heavy spending will be watched closely for sustainability and balance, especially if the squad needs time to gel under a new coach. Amorim has also moved to reshape the dressing room, with some established attackers no longer part of the first team and a focus on integrating the new trio. Success will depend on turning pressure into performances at Old Trafford and managing expectations from fans and the wider football world. The early test against Arsenal will reveal how quickly the changes can translate on the pitch and whether momentum can be created when teams are not at their best.

Time will tell if this plan can translate belief into results on the field.
