Defense in Crisis After 50 Goals Conceded! Simpson Blasts United's Transfer Strategy, Criticizes Yoro's Two-Year Stagnation

Former Manchester United wing-back Simpson told GOAL that United's defensive situation has become critical. The club conceded 50 goals last season yet failed to reinforce the back line, instead pouring all their resources into midfielders. This season, United have accumulated only 4 points with not a single clean sheet, conceding two goals in each of their three matches. In the Manchester Derby, they were even pierced by a controversial Haaland goal. Simpson criticized the lack of a proper backup for Luke Shaw, noted the wildly inconsistent form of Mazraoui and Dalot, and argued that the defensive line must consistently deliver a 7-out-of-10 performance. He also directly pointed out that Yoro has remained physically slender with no gain in strength after two years since joining the club, questioning his training attitude.
