Enough quality and depth there to get through a season. They need to sell Garnacho, Sancho, and Antony though to try to add depth in other areas.
You aren't getting through a PL season with Fernandes, Casamiro, and Ugarte are your only CM options. And defense is similarly rough relying too much on guys like Shaw and putting too much pressure on a youngster like Yoro.
They really needed enforcments through the middle of the pitch (CB and CM) and didn't really succeed in doing that.

I'd say defense is actually fine. Yoro, De Ligt, Heaven, Maguire have all been fine, and at some point, you'd hope Lisandro Martinez is fit again. No idea why Shaw is playing, but he can't stay fit anyway.
Midfield is the issue. I will not disrespect Bruno for turning down the Saudi offers, but him going would have really set up United to actually build a decent midfield. He's a terrible fit in a double pivot and ironically he'll be one of the biggest contributors to Amorim's eventual downfall.
Oh, and Sesko will starve up front without service just like Hojlund did. Meanwhile, people will be shocked when Hojlund turns into a great striker at Napoli.
