Analyzing Man United strategies

It looks like Onana might be absent, so Manchester United would need Altay Bayindir as backup goalkeeper. They actually signed him for the 2023-24 season, and it's accurate that he's Turkish, not AFCON. I think there are strategies to consider, like shifting to a 4-2-3-1 formation if wide options are limited. Promoting youth players could also be an avenue. We might suggest recalling Facundo Pellistri from loan for some much-needed depth and consider signing a right winger or backup goalkeeper during the January transfer window.Exploring player release strategies

I think we can view "frustration" as a tactic in public negotiations. Managers might express it to encourage their club to strengthen the squad or to influence football associations for staggered player release windows. It's also a way to affect valuations from selling clubs. We should dive into FIFA's release rules: clubs need to release players for official tournaments, typically starting 13 days before the first match. In AFCON 2023, this was negotiated to start on January 1 for a January 13 kickoff. Exploring negotiation strategies like late releases and minute management could be useful, and I could propose a contingency plan based on positions.Preparing tactical adjustments

I think we should address some tactical adjustments in Amorim's 3-4-3 formation, especially with Onana's sweeping distribution potentially missing. We can instruct the back three to play it safer, possibly using Bruno as a false right winger to aid in building up play, or even inverting Dalot. I’ll keep it concise, focusing on short bullets.

I need to include sections like "Key players likely affected," "What frustrates Amorim," "Strategic moves," and "Recommended actions." It’d be wise to ask the user if they want this tailored to a specific season or squad.Crafting tactical content

Let's put together some content about the AFCON timing and its impact on Manchester United. The tournament overlaps with the club season, and they could lose African international players for 3–5 weeks.

Key potential absentees include Andre Onana, Amad Diallo, and possibly Hannibal if included in the squad. Wan-Bissaka might also be affected if he switches, and Kambwala could be called up by DR Congo despite currently representing France's youth team.

In terms of impacts, losing Onana affects build-up play, necessitating adaptation in training with Bayindir. If Amad is absent, the right wing options become limited, with potential switches among Antony, Garnacho, and Bruno. Losing Hannibal would lessen midfield energy, prompting adjustments for Mount and Mainoo.

For Amorim's tactical responses, I see possible formation shifts between 3-4-3 and 4-2-3-1 based on wing depth, and wingbacks like Dalot and Shaw might play new roles. We could also consider bringing in academy players for reinforcement.Formulating a tactical plan

It seems like I should consider a few tactical adjustments while possibly avoiding specifics on loan details. For instance, I could see Victor Lindelof stepping into a right center-back role and expanding his coverage.

In terms of set pieces, increasing expected goals could be key during player absences. I might assign Martinez or Maguire for set plays. We can adapt to a mid-block 5-4-1 formation for crucial away games to conserve energy.

For squad management, during the January window, I think we should consider low-cost right winger loans and prepare for potential goalkeeper needs with a free agent as a backup. I also want to be thoughtful about negotiating player releases and planning for the increased injury risk for returning AFCON players.

Highlighting "frustration" publicly could help set expectations and pressure recruitment efforts. My action list will include strategizing the AFCON-contingency depth chart, training blocks for Bayindir's build-up, negotiating releases with football associations, and shortlisting loans for right wingers.
