After all the RUclips videos I’ve watched over this last few weeks I know more about Ruben Amorim, his tactics and principles than I know about my mother, her experiences, hopes and dreams…. And this is how it should be, after all my mum isn’t taking united back to the top any time soon.
The same can be said by his opponents. However, the most surprising thing about Amorim is that despite knowing that, the mobility is prepared according to the concrete study of the opponent and this prevents a concrete preview. During the game, Amorim also makes adaptations based on the previous study and what it sees confirmed on the field and this makes solutions that resolve the game directly or indirectly, with and without the ball, emerge from the bench. As a Sporting fan, good luck United!
Yes. If Amorim is going to replicate what he did at Sporting, then we have players who can execute it on the ground. The most problematic area in this is wingbacks I think. If Amorim is able to solve it, I think United have a good chance of entering the top 4 because the league is wide open. United are now 13 th but the difference between 3 and 13 is 4 points....
Yeah, I'm a little reserved in my excitement. On paper it looks like a great fit. But regardless of the system or who plays where, the key will be Amorim to change their psychology and make them work hard consistently and pick the right team based on who is up for it that week.
Yea... ETH thought the same though, and he even sent the players on a 13km run after one of the first losses to make them work harder. And it worked for a while, but I think the players eventually wore him down, and he ran out of ideas and got stuck in a rut. But it looks like we have more options nowadays, and Amorim could probably afford to drop some players if they start getting lazy.
@JoeBob79569 I think Ten Hag just focused to much on the technical side of the game and when the results don't come the players lose faith. He didn't seem personable enough either to win them back, something Amorim looks to have in abundance. I also think Ten Hag was a touch 'unlucky' in that he never really got to show what he wanted the team to be consistently. He clearly had a plan of playing a Mount, Mainoo and Fernandes midfield in his 2nd season and injuries pretty much meant that never happened, and once results went bad he had to resort to playing safer like after his first 2 games. That was highlighted when he came out with the 'we won't play like my ajax team' quote.
The good thing is that's what he was largely praised with at Sporting. He managed to get really good player buy-in and disciplined players that play to the system.
@@magikarpsplashy Yes, I agree. I think he could be charismatic when he wanted, but it was maybe a bit forced, and he probably often came across as grumpy and strict. Be was very unlucky with injuries alright, although a lot of other managers have done a lot more with a lot less. It's kind of like, you can't do the right job without the right tools, but also a bad workman blames his tools.. A bit of a contradiction!
The only potential problem with Antony as a defender has and will be the consistency of workrate. One game, he will be the first man back down the wing to win the ball back, but the next game, that manchild loses possession or gets knocked on his arse, he is going to sit there throwing a tantrum for the next 10-15 seconds instead of getting up and hauling back to help stop a counter. Stats really do not highlight that.
rashford is average not genius its just hype a player who score 85 premier league in 9 seasons is no genius, hes average with unneccessary salary and ghosts in big matches all the time
@@NavaneethMapiniyethVilangeriif you actually watched him you would know he actually doesn’t ghost in big matches and actually has the best record against the “big six”
@@ramshackletheclown yeah most of that came when its compensatory or ultimately the team loses, whats the point in that i have seen 0 improvement in his part for past 4 years no defenders fear him now remember this guy and mbappe started their careers at same time look where both are now this is not a manutd left winger should be guy had 15+ goals in premier league in 1 season , his max tally is 17 premier league goals, 39 year old ronaldo had same number he doesnt press, he doesnt do takeons , he does max 2-3 correct passes in a game thats pretty average for me
I agree with the Antony piece. He puts good pressure and can make space and is quick. If he can find other players and pass the ball well and maybe score a goal here or there it could work.
@18:00 - it's true, man utd actually, without injuries, does have squad depth. Each opposition has a different set up, hence it helps that Man Utd will not always need to rely on that 'first eleven' approach. football has evolved over the years, therefore squad depth is necessary. anyway great vid Adam.
Adam, you missed one important principal for the fullbacks. Amorin wants a left footed player at left back and a rightfooted at right, because they give so many cutbacks
@@siegjong759 That's why i think Antony was tried in that RWB position as well in the first training sesh video. Recreate our own Quenda, if it works out this is good for us, cos it gives us power to sell him decently in the summer.
This is a perfect line up. Though I suspect Casemiro or Eriksen might start ahead of Mainoo due to the fact that he is coming from injury. Otherwise, this is good
Love de Ligt but he is definitely not who you want stepping into midfield. He's tidy enough on the ball but wouldn't be able to sort his feet out quickly enough to play in midfield. Even if it is stepping up from CB. Don't care what the stats say we've watched him for years and the eye test tells you he's not nimble or agile enough and not good enough on the ball to do that.
Difference is in that position he won't be pressed as much and even if he is he should have at least 3 options to pass to. The ball carriers will be Yoro and Martinez
United fan here. What I've learned from the past 25 years of being a fan of the club is that overhyping up someone new to the club leads to anger and disappointment most of the time down the line. Managers, players, hell even assistant managers like RVN and probably the new vendor in OT's concession stand. 😂 Personally, I am on the fence about Amorim initially, but he seems to be an energetic manager unlike anyone we have had since SAF. I feel like his biggest strength will be with man management, while his tactics needs a couple of games to be fully assessed. Whatever happens, I will enjoy the ride wherever he will take us when all is said and done.
Great vid with actual detail, not just spouting opinions. Also, I've enjoyed Adam's vids since his WhatCulture days and not just because I went to Newcastle Uni (so I get his geordie humour)
Antony at winback/fullback was something I wanted to see United try last season when Shaw and Malacia were out. He's not actually got a bad left foot, it's just wasted on the right because he doesn't have the pace or skill to cut inside and shoot, he's also quite good defensively.
I didn't know Christian Eriksen had a RUclips channel. Pretty good video - RUclips is so much better than professional punditry and their narratives. I think I mostly agree with the initial starting XI - I will say I think Mount will often be that deeper player alongside Ugarte as well. I think that's a really strong midfield duo. Mount there and Bruno as a 10 can probably even do some switching to confuse defenders.
Urgarte, bruno, mount midfield won't have the ability to keep possession. Especially bruno. We need players comfortable on the ball under pressure and can dribble through the middle. Bruno is not capable of any of that.
Last season I had the thought that Antony would be a decent LB. I didn’t know how that would work until Amorim was courted. I genuinely think he could potentially be the best player for that position with the squad as it is. The stats back this idea, as I would trust that Amorim has the ability to convert him into that, for this season at least. He just needs the confidence to switch to his right foot as well.
It doesn't mean much of anything, but in that 7-minute training video, Antony did cross the ball with his right foot. lol So we can hope he's really been working on it and he'll remember that he has two feet.
United really do have a good squad for Amorim to hit the ground running and do well. They don't have ideal depth at LWB, CM(6),CM(8) and FWD but they have sufficient depth (Apart from LWB) to get them to the summer. I agree fully about Antony, he will benefit hugely from this system.
Antony's defensive workrate has always helped United. He doesn't score many goals or assists, but his presence on the pitch has been a net positive for most of his appearances. He has a fantastic cross on him as well if he is played on the left, and a fantastic shot when played on the right.
Also think that Bruno and Amorim being Portuguese will help with translation/implementation of ideas. I think language barrier plays a huge role in ideas taking time to set in
Dalot will count a lot for the back three. Garnacho and Anthony will be used both as wing-backs and wingers/CAM, depending on the strategy. The same applies to Bruno Fernandes, regarding the CM/CAM positions, but I can only see him playing as a CM (with two) at home games against weaker teams. That is what he did with Pedro Gonçalves.
Absolutely agree with everything you said in the video, mate, but my biggest question is why everyone assumes Antony will play as a right wing-back when we all know he’s a one-footed player who struggles on his right. Isn’t it more logical to expect him to play as a left wing-back, where he could deliver crosses into the box with ease using his stronger foot ??.
Onana Mazraoui, De ligt, Martinez Dalot, Ugarte, Bruno, Garnacho Amad, Hojlund, Rashford My thoughts are he'll try to overwhelm Ipswich offensively before adapting to how they adjust to his approach.
@Sound6838 Messi and Neymar could not defend until they met Pochetino, I don't see why Amorim can't drive up their workrate? Edit: Is Yoro fit? I'm asking because I dunno
At least with the current United squad Amorim can trial and error a few different players to see if they work for his system, like swapping in Mount or Zirkzee into one of the 10 roles in place of Bruno to see how they perform there, or seeing how Amad, Antony or another player fare in the inverted winger/10 role. There's a couple of players who will probably struggle to adapt to fit the system though and Rashford is likely going to be 1 of them.
Onana De Ligt, Evans, Martinez Mazraoui, Ugarte, Casemiro, Dalot Mount, Bruno Hojlund At some point in the season I wouldn’t be surprised if Casemiro moves into defence for a few games
The different 11s here are endless. I’d love to see both Bruno and Mount play in the 10. But at the same time it could be Zirkzee paired with Amad. It’s a beautiful game.
I just want Mount to start in the Ipwich game. That lad is phenomenal, he was the heart of that Ucl winning Chelsea side. Yes,he had injury problems and hardly available during the match but Mount will play a key role in Amorim's system.
@@xolasidziya8702 Tbf if Mount wasnt having his injury issues he would be a very important player in the squad especially in this system. For me jury's out but if these injury's persist he has to go this summer or the next if we cant get him offloaded this coming summer
Onana, Shaw, Evans, Deligt Mazraoui and Antony Casemiro and Ugarte Bruno and Amad Rasmus Note: If Martinez is fit he will start Mazraoui can play anywhere in the defence but you wouldn't want to play him for the first time as a CB, LCB or RCB in your first game he might make errors although he is such a good player Antony has the best defensive stats as a winger in the EPL he can play that role because the LWB receives with his back against the opposition cuts inside or plays into midfield or across to the other flank Dalot can't do that and the LWB is usually a left footer because the combination of play is different on the other end. Mainoo is not match fit, over time he will start Bruno and Amad are tailored for this Rasmus can hold the ball and serve as an outlet. Ipswich will press us knowing fully well we can be vulnerable playing in our own half. Long balls will be played and Rashford has 0 holdup play he can't play with his back to goal. If he plays we will lose lots of possession however there will be oppositions that will suit Rashford style of play.
Not even a mention of Casemiro, Eriksen, or Lindeloff, who are all clever decent players capable of operating in various roles. Plus exciting youth coming through in the shape of Collyer, Gore, Fletcher, and Kone… United could really be spoilt for options if Amorim can coach his ideas successfully.
The thing is, he will play as per the player’s he’s got. It will be a 3x4x3 yes, but if he plays with a pushing forward, if he plays with wingers/CAM, if the midfielders play a certain way, it will all depend on what he sees the squad can provide. So, not so sure about that.
This is why I felt it strange when the players are bought for a quick transition team but not a ball possession style that might suit Ten Hag. It's like Ten Hag is just a placeholder seat warmer
GK: Onana Rwb: Mazouri Cb: Delight Cb: maguire Cb: Martinez Lwb: Dalot Cm: Ugarte Cm Casemiro Am: Bruno Am: Mount Cf: Holjund Can I have a picture of Adam instead???
@@adenihunadewale9214 again, I agree, but as a Manchester United and Northern Irish man and supporter, this is what I think the starting line up will be for Sundays game.
If Antony keeps playing on the right wing, I CANNOT envision an Antony-ssance happening, because even of he's good defensively, he'll still be predictable and ineffective in attack. 😕 Now from the LEFT, where he could cross early or get to the byline and cross/pull back, THEN I could see him getting a redemption arc if he works hard at it.
Onana. Yoro. De ligt. Shaw Anthony. Ugarte. Mainoo. Dalot Amad. Rashford. Bruno This is not the exact lineup I want him to put out, but it’s a prediction of what I think he will put out
Onana Martinez De Ligt Evans Antony Ugarte Mainoo Mazraoui Fernandes Mount Rashford The Antonaissaince and revitalised Mount could happen! Especially because Amorim has had more time with them, and Mount has played well in the formation in the past, that should allow him to impress upon the coaches in training. Yoro may replace Martinez depending on who is fit to start... Adam Clery your videos are top class! I ignore the rest now. Are you in the mix for MOTD?! Do you play subbuteo?
I’d love to see him pull a conte and convert Anthony to a wingback similar to Moses for chelsea but I’d argue if you want Anthony to put cut backs and crosses in he’ll have to play on the left
I feel like this is the first video that didn't end with "he's going to have to change his system for the prem" and ended with a way he could use his new resources to elevate and upgrade his system.
Antony doing good as a wingback would still be half the product he could be. At Ajax he would pretty often cut in in the middle of the pitch and carry it like a center attacking midfielder. The rest would have to provide the width for him and get in the box so he's the one making the throughball. That could never ever happen at Man United with Bruno in it. Often he tried it, they were very much not on the same page at all, both waiting for the other to attack the box.
Realistic team on Sunday: Onana RWB: Dalot CBs: Yoro De Ligt Martinez LWB: Shaw (you forgot about him a little bit- understandably!) CMs: Ugarte Mainoo 10s: Bruno Amad Striker: Hojlund
He didn't forget Shaw, he said he'd be cover in the left center back role and tbh that'd suit him more than Lwb because his body just can't handle the load that role entails
Actually I think Garnacho and Hojlund will be on the bench. It will be Rashford upfront and Bruno/Mount behind. Mainoo and Ugarte in deep. If Shaw is fit, he'll play as a LCB, Marrinez in the middle and Yoro if fit on the right. Dalot on the left and Mazraui on the right.
@ you know what? It’s actually my bad. I read your lineup and didn’t read that it was a prediction for the next game. In that regard I fully see Mazza starting over Dalot, but aside from that I agree with your 11.
What's fascinating is going back to the video of Why United had to Sack Ten Hag, it is clear both Amorim and ETH are trying to do the same thing, play a very similar system. The only major difference is personnel with ETH using unsuited players due to injuries. Amorim has all the players back. Does this therefore all boil down to whether Amorim can communicate his ideas to these players in the same way ETH could not? And what will happen when we have another injury crisis?
If we play Rashford or Garnacho as an inside forward, Zirkzee should start in the no. 9 position. He is built for this role, considering Rashford and Garnacho will be the primary goal threat.
That’s absolutely not how we want to approach the games. The whole point of this tactic is that the 9 is the primary goalscorer. Rashford and Garnacho can score but neither should be the primary goalscorer as we’ve seen.
Till we understand that the future of this team is having Arda Gular and Amad in the 10s. Getting them to their prime level is like having Ozil and Nani playing at their prime
The Premier League is going to be much harder than the Portuguese league. Amorim is going to be in for a shock. The same attacking/scoring tactics that you see in the clips won't work easily in the PL. Fans should be optimistic but be cautious about expecting a lot.
After all the RUclips videos I’ve watched over this last few weeks I know more about Ruben Amorim, his tactics and principles than I know about my mother, her experiences, hopes and dreams…. And this is how it should be, after all my mum isn’t taking united back to the top any time soon.
lol same mate

😭😭😭😭
The same can be said by his opponents. However, the most surprising thing about Amorim is that despite knowing that, the mobility is prepared according to the concrete study of the opponent and this prevents a concrete preview. During the game, Amorim also makes adaptations based on the previous study and what it sees confirmed on the field and this makes solutions that resolve the game directly or indirectly, with and without the ball, emerge from the bench. As a Sporting fan, good luck United!

At least with the current United squad Amorim can trial and error a few different players to see if they work for his system, like swapping in Mount or Zirkzee into one of the 10 roles in place of Bruno to see how they perform there, or seeing how Amad, Antony or another player fare in the inverted winger/10 role. There's a couple of players who will probably struggle to adapt to fit the system though and Rashford is likely going to be 1 of them.
Was really hoping for this. Odd I just happened upon it ☺
Onana
De Ligt, Evans, Martinez
Mazraoui, Ugarte, Casemiro, Dalot
Mount, Bruno
Hojlund
At some point in the season I wouldn’t be surprised if Casemiro moves into defence for a few games
The different 11s here are endless. I’d love to see both Bruno and Mount play in the 10. But at the same time it could be Zirkzee paired with Amad. It’s a beautiful game.
Onana - Martinez, DeLigt, Mazraoui - Antony, Mainoo, Ugarte, Amad - Bruno, Garnacho - Højlund
I hope it’s not this.
I needed that gold start today, thankyou
Mount was the best player in that system he is tactically a dream for managers I believe
He knows where and when to be there
I just want Mount to start in the Ipwich game.
That lad is phenomenal, he was the heart of that Ucl winning Chelsea side.
Yes,he had injury problems and hardly available during the match but Mount will play a key role in Amorim's system.
Lol.
@@xolasidziya8702 Tbf if Mount wasnt having his injury issues he would be a very important player in the squad especially in this system. For me jury's out but if these injury's persist he has to go this summer or the next if we cant get him offloaded this coming summer
@@adampaul6675 Reece James is cooking bro...back after 2 years I guess.
Nevermind,Mason Mount will also write a story of success.
Mason Mount: once a ram, always a ram! DCFC rules!
Onana
De Ligt - Evans - Licha Martinez
Antony - Ugarte - Mainoo - Dalot
Fernandes - Garnacho
Hojlund
Onana, Shaw, Evans, Deligt
Mazraoui and Antony
Casemiro and Ugarte
Bruno and Amad
Rasmus
Note: If Martinez is fit he will start
Mazraoui can play anywhere in the defence but you wouldn't want to play him for the first time as a CB, LCB or RCB in your first game he might make errors although he is such a good player
Antony has the best defensive stats as a winger in the EPL he can play that role because the LWB receives with his back against the opposition cuts inside or plays into midfield or across to the other flank Dalot can't do that and the LWB is usually a left footer because the combination of play is different on the other end.
Mainoo is not match fit, over time he will start
Bruno and Amad are tailored for this
Rasmus can hold the ball and serve as an outlet. Ipswich will press us knowing fully well we can be vulnerable playing in our own half. Long balls will be played and Rashford has 0 holdup play he can't play with his back to goal. If he plays we will lose lots of possession however there will be oppositions that will suit Rashford style of play.
Not even a mention of Casemiro, Eriksen, or Lindeloff, who are all clever decent players capable of operating in various roles.
Plus exciting youth coming through in the shape of Collyer, Gore, Fletcher, and Kone…
United could really be spoilt for options if Amorim can coach his ideas successfully.
Think they'll all be leaving latest Summer, the latest
Casemiro ericsen lindelof are all to be sold.
You got it. Parabéns 🇵🇹💪
I think the two WB dont necessarily have to get too far up, maybe in a slower build up, but in a fast counter rather create underlaps with the two 10s
The thing is, he will play as per the player’s he’s got. It will be a 3x4x3 yes, but if he plays with a pushing forward, if he plays with wingers/CAM, if the midfielders play a certain way, it will all depend on what he sees the squad can provide. So, not so sure about that.
This is why I felt it strange when the players are bought for a quick transition team but not a ball possession style that might suit Ten Hag.
It's like Ten Hag is just a placeholder seat warmer
Amazing content Adam!
GK: Onana
Rwb: Mazouri
Cb: Delight

Can I have a picture of Adam instead???
Evans in place of Maguire
@@adenihunadewale9214 I agree and would want that too, but to win, I believe this is what Ruben will go with
@@WeeBento Evans is more experienced and a better organized and vocal
@@adenihunadewale9214 again, I agree, but as a Manchester United and Northern Irish man and supporter, this is what I think the starting line up will be for Sundays game.
maguire lol you want to lose dont you ?
Onana
Yoro, De Ligt, Luke Shaw
Antony, Ugarte, Mainoo, Mazraoui
Bruno, Garnacho
Hojlund
Starting XI:
GK - Onana
CB - Martinez, De Ligt, Evans
WB - Garnacho, Maz
MF Ugarte, Casemiro
CAM - Amad, Fernandes
ST - Højlund
Looking forward to this game!
If Antony keeps playing on the right wing, I CANNOT envision an Antony-ssance happening, because even of he's good defensively, he'll still be predictable and ineffective in attack. 😕
Now from the LEFT, where he could cross early or get to the byline and cross/pull back, THEN I could see him getting a redemption arc if he works hard at it.
Was waiting for this video, perfect timing
I like how opponent teams can go on RUclips and get a thousand video tutorials on United's strategies and weaknesses
Onana.
Yoro. De ligt. Shaw
Anthony. Ugarte. Mainoo. Dalot
Amad. Rashford. Bruno
This is not the exact lineup I want him to put out, but it’s a prediction of what I think he will put out
Onana
Martinez De Ligt Evans
Antony Ugarte Mainoo Mazraoui
Fernandes Mount
Rashford
The Antonaissaince and revitalised Mount could happen! Especially because Amorim has had more time with them, and Mount has played well in the formation in the past, that should allow him to impress upon the coaches in training. Yoro may replace Martinez depending on who is fit to start...
Adam Clery your videos are top class! I ignore the rest now. Are you in the mix for MOTD?! Do you play subbuteo?
I watched this with my 9 year old son, the only question he asked me at the end is "whats vinegar strokes?"
I died, thanks! lol
Malacia be like "wake me up when Ten Haag's gone" 😂
Great video, as always!
I'm a Liverpool fan but I think everyone agrees we need a Forrest vid😀
So good to see Adam monk again
I’d love to see him pull a conte and convert Anthony to a wingback similar to Moses for chelsea but I’d argue if you want Anthony to put cut backs and crosses in he’ll have to play on the left
Nope, Amorin likes to play left footed player on the right wing back and Antony fits that profile perfectly.
@ has nothing to do with my comment
If he can put throughballs for rasmus, amad and any under lapping players he will be an asset.
@@Doctor_Kroom yup but that takes one of them out of the danger zone and you have one less receiver in the middle
I feel like this is the first video that didn't end with "he's going to have to change his system for the prem" and ended with a way he could use his new resources to elevate and upgrade his system.
Prem generally rewards progressive have-a-go football, so Ineos may have done well with this appointment.
Teams that face United don-t even need to do anything since ya'll just make tons of videos exposing how he'll play. Lovely 👍
Antony doing good as a wingback would still be half the product he could be. At Ajax he would pretty often cut in in the middle of the pitch and carry it like a center attacking midfielder. The rest would have to provide the width for him and get in the box so he's the one making the throughball. That could never ever happen at Man United with Bruno in it. Often he tried it, they were very much not on the same page at all, both waiting for the other to attack the box.
Onana
Yoro
De Ligt
Martinez
Mazraoui
Garnacho
Mainoo
Ugarte
Bruno
Amad
Hojlund
Dont forget there are 10million people that play fantasy and die hard PL fans and 442 fans out there Adam so tonnes of people find this interesting
Realistic team on Sunday:
Onana
RWB: Dalot
CBs: Yoro De Ligt Martinez
LWB: Shaw (you forgot about him a little bit- understandably!)
CMs: Ugarte Mainoo
10s: Bruno Amad
Striker: Hojlund
He didn't forget Shaw, he said he'd be cover in the left center back role and tbh that'd suit him more than Lwb because his body just can't handle the load that role entails
This might have been said before, but just occurred to me that Adam looks like Christian Eriksen?!
09:20 Who else saw that Ten Hag dig coming? 😂😂😂
Actually I think Garnacho and Hojlund will be on the bench. It will be Rashford upfront and Bruno/Mount behind. Mainoo and Ugarte in deep. If Shaw is fit, he'll play as a LCB, Marrinez in the middle and Yoro if fit on the right. Dalot on the left and Mazraui on the right.
Predicted lineup for Ipswich:
GK - Onana
CB - Martinez, De Ligt, Yoro
WB - Antony, Dalot
MF Ugarte, Fernandes
CAM - Rashford, Amad
ST - Hojlund
Not bad but I’d switch the WB’s to Mazza and Dalot. I think he’ll start with what they know then work in more of his ideas slowly.
It’s super interesting how Mainoo doesn’t have a place in the first 11
@@FountainOfYoot I only left him out for this one because he's still coming back to fitness after his injury
@ you know what? It’s actually my bad. I read your lineup and didn’t read that it was a prediction for the next game.
In that regard I fully see Mazza starting over Dalot, but aside from that I agree with your 11.
Predicted Line Up:
GK: Obama
Def: Martinez, D Ligt, Lindeloff
WB: Dalot, Mazuari
Mid: Ugarte, Casemiro
At Mid: Bruno F, Rashford
ST: Hujlund
Imo i think Amorim's starting XI for his 1st match will be:
. Onana
De Ligt Evans Martinez
Mount? Ugarte Mainoo Mezraoui
Amad Bruno
Rashford
is Mount good defensively ?
@RandomVideosFirst he's alright, he's smart and De Ligt will cover on him
We don't actually have a good wingbacks tbh
@@AaronnManmount cannot play as a WB, the only positions he can play in that system is one of the two AM’s or in the midfield
Rashford is not starting this game
@stwartic4296 i think he is
Im not a Antony fan but You are correct..... weirdly he is suited for that WB roll
Damn, Erickson is really good at explaining utd tactics.
Mazraoui has literally been United’s best player this season.No way he’s not starting
Manchester United is single-handedly paying this man's rent.
What's fascinating is going back to the video of Why United had to Sack Ten Hag, it is clear both Amorim and ETH are trying to do the same thing, play a very similar system. The only major difference is personnel with ETH using unsuited players due to injuries. Amorim has all the players back. Does this therefore all boil down to whether Amorim can communicate his ideas to these players in the same way ETH could not? And what will happen when we have another injury crisis?
It's the energy levels, I can't see them doing well this season.
If we play Rashford or Garnacho as an inside forward, Zirkzee should start in the no. 9 position. He is built for this role, considering Rashford and Garnacho will be the primary goal threat.
That’s absolutely not how we want to approach the games. The whole point of this tactic is that the 9 is the primary goalscorer. Rashford and Garnacho can score but neither should be the primary goalscorer as we’ve seen.
Good to know Adam C has found a squeeze
Never in my life did i think that Antony would get this much hype lol
Predicted line up:
Onana
Dalot
De ligt
Yoro
Martinez
Mazraoui
Ugarte
Mount
Fernandez
Garnacho
Hojland
Onana - Yoro / De Ligt/ Martinez
Dalot / Casemiro / Bruno / Mazraoui
Amad / Mount / Hojlund
Till we understand that the future of this team is having Arda Gular and Amad in the 10s. Getting them to their prime level is like having Ozil and Nani playing at their prime
I believe Antony will have a renaissanace in that wing back role too.
Love you Adam Clery, ever since What culture 👍💪🫡
I honestly don't think I will start Dalot-he's been very poor this season-but I don't mind seeing Antony play the RWB role.
I now get why INEOS were so keen in getting Tuchel, and how they got Amorim out of the blue.
i honestly like the antony idea. would love to see the rags to riches story
Maz and Dalot don't need to start. Amorim uses wingers as the wingbacks. Quenda and Araujo are wingers not fullbacks.
Someone else who understands the actual roles
The Premier League is going to be much harder than the Portuguese league. Amorim is going to be in for a shock. The same attacking/scoring tactics that you see in the clips won't work easily in the PL. Fans should be optimistic but be cautious about expecting a lot.
