Author’s Insight
This October hiatus tests United’s strength. With so many key men gone, the team has to handle recovery, rotation, and depth. It’s a time to find out if the squad can maintain performance minus its stars. On the positive, however, these call-ups are a testimony of recognition—United men are good enough for national duty. If the club utilizes this window shrewdly, it can build both confidence and cohesion for games to come.
