In the Manchester United club's official program "Into Carrington", Manchester United director Wilcox reviewed the situation of Manchester United's summer window and emphasized that signing Lamence was not an emergency move in response to Onana's poor performance.
"This year we are focusing on players who are ready to play in the Premier League, such as players like Mbemo and Cunha. We cannot take more risks in these positions. We need players who can plug and play without too much transition period. As for Lamence, we have been looking for goalkeepers with great potential. At that time, we happened to have the opportunity to sign him, so we decided to take action. This is not a one-time Impulse spending, Tony Cotton (the Manchester United scout who left this summer) recommended this young man to me a year ago. He was very persistent about it. He said that this would be our top signing. Now Lamence has a very good start, but he must keep it up. He has deep reflection ability and extremely high professionalism. "
Manchester United's performance in this summer's transfer window is undoubtedly better than last year, and the influence of new players has been significantly improved. Wilcox said that the club made a clear plan before the start of the summer window and improved its transfer strategy: "Last year's summer window was much more chaotic than this year's. This summer we were very calm. We knew our plan and knew which players we wanted to introduce. We made a list and clarified our needs. Strengthening positions. I had many meetings with Amorim and Vervell and his team and we had a very clear idea of the type of players we needed. The requirements were put forward by me and Amorim and then given to Vervell we had a lot of discussions and then the scouts went into the market to find the right fit. "
"We also work closely with the data team and maintain continuous communication. Currently, I have weekly meetings with the team to discuss the player's profile, age, cost and other issues, and conduct evaluations with Amorim. This is a very coordinated process. The whole process of signing a player involves many people and many links, and the data team will also be involved. We will focus on conducting in-depth inspections of certain players and focus on verifying whether they have good professional ethics and living habits. This is very important."
