Not sure if I'm doing something wrong as I just got the game a couple days ago but I downloaded the newest version of the updated roster and Hojlund is on Atalanta and Onana is on what I assume is Inter. Everything else seems to be right about the current Man U roster.

Can you please provide screenshots from the game setup screen, specifically the part where you select which database to use as well as where you enable Editor Data files?
The odd thing about the examples you've cited are that, as best I can tell, both of these players have been at Manchester United throughout…so it is not like these transfers to Manchester United are introduced by the Data Update.
Jakub Piechnik
This? The only other option I have under database is "Football Manager 2024." This “24.3.0 Update” has all the signings from this year on the team (such as Cunha, Mbuemo and Leon).
When I first started a game with the regular database, before downloading the update, both Hojlund and Onana were on the team. Part of why I'm confused.
And thank you for the response!

These are shots of the whole list

So you appear to have installed the Data Update correctly and you're running the right FM database version. This is very strange.
I am not able to replicate it and, dare I say it, nor is anyone else as I am certain we would've heard similar complaints from other community members, given these are two players at a big club.
There is nothing in any of the Data Update files that would be moving them from Manchester United, as best I can tell. The fact that they are at their previous clubs is bizarre.
Can you share a screenshot showing them at those clubs, respectively? Not because I don't believe you, just because perhaps there will be a clue in the screenshot as to how this is happening.
Jakub Piechnik
Odd. Maybe I should try to reinstall both the base game and the update.
M.C
Thanks for sharing those. Very, very strange. Personally, I can't see a reinstallation doing any good as something this specific is driven by the database contents.
Considering these players have never been at these clubs in the 24.3 database, this is even more puzzling. I can't even think of a speculative reason that this could be happening.
There are files in a vanilla installation that control aspects related to licensed/unlicensed clubs, but these are typically graphical and/or to enforce names…I have never seen, or considered, that they would control player details. In fact, I'm pretty sure they wouldn't be able to. As an aside to what you're experiencing, I'd recommend making use of the ‘FM24 Real Name Fix’ (https://sortitoutsi.net/content/63651/fm24-real-name-fix). This is more just a generic piece of advice for someone new to the game.
For a quick thing to try, the only thing I can recommend is trying to re-download the Data Update and re-apply it. I am very curious as to the cause of this error.
Jakub Piechnik
Gotcha. I will give your suggestions a try.
Worst case, I will be happy playing with what I have.
Thank you for all the work you put into this.

So the problem was I was selecting “Your World” instead of “Original” game mode. Under “Original,” Onana and Hojlund are both there.
Thank you and sorry for wasting your time.
M.C
No need to apologise. I am glad you figured it out. I'll be honest, I have never played - nor paid any attention to - any options other than ‘Original’, so that didn't even enter my thoughts.
Now you mention it, though, it's a good time to reiterate that the SortItOutSI Data Update is designed to be used with ‘Original’ mode. It cites not working correctly with ‘Real World’ mode and I suspect the same is true for ‘Your World’ mode.
The general concept of the update is to put players at the club they are at, in real-life, at any given moment in real-life. It doesn't operate on a ‘future transfers’ basis. Furthermore, the general idea is to change the in-game date of Summer 2023 to reflect the real-world date of Summer 2025. It does this by (1) having all of the transfers having already taken place, (2) offsetting player ages and contract end-dates by two years and (3) having promotions, relegations and league structures reflect the 2025/26 season in real-life in the 2023/24 season in-game (caveat: not every playable league is updated yet; this is still a work-in-progress). Effectively, it's how the Data Update handles the fact that two years have now passed.
