Amorim's just said in an interview that he'll use full-backs in the wing-back positions at the start, because it's hard to get the wingers to play well defensively straight away
True, but I don't think he'll stick to that dogmatically, particularly when it comes to substitutions. If we're not creating anything in games, I expect he'd switch it up and throw on a winger instead. Additionally, if Shaw/Malacia aren't fit enough or they get injured again, you'll probably see wingers get game time then as well (unless he decides to promote Amass).
It will mostly be game to game, against opposition where we can dominate, I think the wing backs will be generally the wingers but against opposition where they could attack the flanks, we need defensively sound players there
I guarantee he keeps it that way until Davies/Alt Nouri arrive. Garnacho wants to be the next Ronaldo, Rashford thinks he is Ronaldo, Amad is too good on the left. None of them will play WB.
LOL EXACTLY. So many videos analyzing the unforeseeable future. I guarantee, long term, none of Utd's wingers will transition to wingback, and they won't stay with 3 CBs due to injuries.
sunglee3935... layers from injury cannot be risked to start get that into your head. The good thing is that he has options. Mazrawi can also start. I agree with his analysis.For the system to work players have got to be specialist in specific positions..Am happy for Martinez. He's a Beast.There wasn't any rotation.
I think he will go with Andre Onana, Lisandro Martinez, De ligt and Yoro then Dalot,Ugarte,Casemiro and Mazraoui, Bruno fernandes, Amad Diallo and Rasmus Hojlund. 3-4-2-1
I think amorim will play rashford at the forward😅 ( I didn't say rashford better than rasmus but rasmus performance at international quite unsatisfactory ) and when rasmus return to man utd for training, I think maybe amonim didn't have much time and training with rasmus compared to rashford has been training with him since the first day training started. So, I think rasmus will start from the bench😅 when we face ipswich ( I hope there will no negative comment )
@landothomas1118 because they already fed up with rashford😅, but for me, i think rashford can be a good player under Amonim and I don't care & evaluate rashford about how bad he play from few season ago because that season he play under erik ten hag but right now he play under amonim with new strategy and maybe position. Nowadays, I hear many fans say rashford can't play forward, but let's we try to remember, before rasmus & zirkzee came to man utd & when Martial was injured, who played the front position? "RASHFORD," so give him some support, time & opportunity under this new coach at least this season for him to prove to us.
United's squad has alot of the building blocks needed for Amorim's system to succeed, I can't wait to see what Amorim experiments with over the next few months I predict 3-1 vs Ipswich for the first game in the Amorim era And great video as usual, Statman Dave 🔥
I know Rashford trained at 9, but man there is just no way he starts over Hojlund if he's fit. Rashford has been tried and failed as a 9 more times than Utd has had managers post-Fergie.
Hojlund is bang average. Marcus is the better ball carrier. As a wide player approaches 30, they do not want to keep running down the flanks. It’s easier to train a 27 year old on how to play with his back to goal vs teaching a 22 year old how to improve his first touch and maintain his balance.
Malacia/rooney comparison is ridiculous...rooney needed games cos body type...malacia is nothing like rooney in terms of body type...because of his long term injury we just need to see how bad if at all he has been compromised athletically...he will need games to get up to speed after so long obviously but it's nothing at all like rooneys situation.
If anyone is conceding goals its Ipswich. I expect to win with 3+ goals margin. Love McKenna but we must start well. 4 1 I think fair result here. DL Evans Licha would work well I think, introduce Yoro if fit at some point. Dalot Ugarte Casemiro Garnacho, Eriksen Mainoo good options for central, Mazroaui Shaw Antony for wide Amad Bruno Rashford, Hojlund Mount rotation options Where we can improve is definitely Davies for LB, Gyokeres for ST, and probably add new defender like Branthwaite. Lindelof Maguire Zirkzee surplus definitely
We could see Mazraoui playing as a LWB, as Amorim prefers a right-footer on the left and vice versa. His ability to use both feet is advantageous, and the LWB tends to be more defensive than the RWB. I expect to see him at RWB and sometimes RCB; a quality player of his calibre can't be left out.
im going to be out of the box, and thinking about the space and they need to cover and and ball playing abilities to execute the splitting pass from the back, heres my lineup onana (rwb) antony (rcb) mazroui (cb) de ligt (lcb) martinez (lwb) dalot (cm) ugarthe (cm) erikson (am) bruno (am) amad (st) rashford there we go 😅
I love the videos but I feel this one was well off. Describing Casimiro as a "box to box" midfielder is stretch at best. His loss of mobility is quite easy to identify. Malacia has been out for nearly two years, I can't see him being anything but a bit part player for some time.
Would be some call to throw Malacia into the side on Sunday after 18 months out. I could more see him playing against Bodo. If the LWB is a right-footer I'm not convinced he'd suppliment that with another right footer in that left 10. Makes me think we might see Mazraoui on the LWB and maybe Amad plays at the left 10. Similar to how Trincao has done at Sporting, player with a similar profile to Amad and history of playing on the right at Braga, but Amorim used him left.
@@andrew13yt Not saying he doesn't, but if he's after a particular type of CB, as is suggested here, then Maguire is hands down a better passer of those longer diagonal balls. That said, I personally wouldn't play him and I doubt Amorim will.
@@peezebeuponyou3774 Amorim plays narrow so teams will put crosses in the box which will need a defender who is good at heading the ball, and there isn't many defenders better at winning headers than Maguire.
Isnt Casemiro slow to play Amorim’s high intensity system? Knowing that Prime Mount was in a 3-4-2-1 i think he’ll easily fit in the number 10 role. Can’t bruno play the number 8 role next to Ugarte? control the game in the middle and be the one who pings balls to the wingbacks.
If he starts Rashy as a 9, he’s wasting time. Marcus is not the man, he’s nowhere near physical enough, he doesn’t run as much, and he’s too old to be moulded into a player he’s never been. Go with Hojlund and see what happens. Rashy’s not the guy. He’s our best scorer in last three seasons because of that single season with Weghorst as the false 9. After that, he’s been terrible in every department… Also, he doesn’t really do tight space game. And finally, I never seen him making those runs or take positions around the penalty spot. Honestly, I can’t see this working out.
I don't know if all these RUclipsrs are on drugs or what, Antony will never start. Also, Mazraoui is the best wingback United have, there is no chance anyone will play before him.
I think the one that's on drugs is you as he's said literally in the beginning of this video these lineups are from THE LAST TRAINING SESSION. Maz is away on international duty which is why antony's starting on rwb
Hey StatmanDave, if those Wee Foot Technology socks are as good as you say, maybe you should send a box over to the Man Utd squad-they could use all the support they can get right now... starting from the ground up!
Casimero as the box to box midfielder? OK but not every game because I don't think he has the legs for that week in week out? But as the holding midfielder he could?
Expect to see Malacia at the start of his reign???? Really??? He has literally just been out for 18 months and has not had a minute of first team football since!
I'm not sure Martinez is fit as he missed the international break. If he isn't fit I think it will be Evans there, De Ligt in the middle and Yoro on the right.
You are, by far, the most knowledgeable and pragmatic person on RUclips when it comes assessing tactics and team selection - thank you and great work 🙏🏽👏🏾🙌🏾
I finished that video when I saw Rashford at the start of 11! The most overrated player at United in 2024! I Hope Amorim doesn't babysit him like other managers tried and they got sacked!
Makes me laugh. People have been overrating Dalot for sometime now. But as soon as he hit's a patch of bad form. Everyone seems to have written him off as a certain starter at Wing-back under Amorim. When his defensive work was always his main issue. So isn't a Wing-back in 3-4-2-1 the perfect position for him to thrive. Less reliance on his defensive contribution. More freedom to develop his attacking aspects of his game. Develop more qualities of a "Winger". Plus now with Winger's as option's at WB. Dalot wont need to be overplayed. He will now have more healthy competition. Rotation is now finally possible. I don't see how Dalot can fail to get selected. Especially with the Portuguese connection being a factor.
Just another deluded person who doesn’t understand that Man Utd’s golden age is over and that the circumstances that saw them dominate domestic football no longer exist.
What's the obsession with Rashford. All the British sports channels are always talking about him. He is a finished footballer with fucking zero intensity.
Tell you what,the match against ipswich will easily be the most viewed match of the weekend..it can't be easy to be the most talked about manager of the decade
There’s two things that still baffle me about Ten Haag’s time in charge of United. 1. How did we not work on defending and attacking cutbacks when we were conceding the most cutbacks in the league? 2. Why the hell did this guy have Amad languishing on the bench despite the quality we know he has? Never been so happy to see the back of a manager in my life.

And great video as usual, Statman Dave 🔥
He'll play it pretty safe to start with. The first few games it'll be about getting the basics right and staying in shape
Is this your 18th video on how Amorim will line up?
0 - Onana / Bayinder / Heaton
3 - Yoro / Lindelof || De Ligt / Evans || Martinez / Maguire
4 - Dalot / Mazraoui || Ugarte / Casemiro || Mainoo / Eriksen || Shaw / Malacia
3 - Amad / Antony / Mount || Holjund / Zirkzee || Garnacho / Rashford / Fernandes
Until Sunday
no one knows the actual line up that will start the Amorim era
Shaw and Martinez can tag team that left cb position until we but someone that doesn't get injured by a gust of wind
🗣Rashford as striker
No
@@MrLazzzyboi No
All pretty exciting and looking forward to Sunday.
Also would love to see set piece improvements as well
I know Rashford trained at 9, but man there is just no way he starts over Hojlund if he's fit.
Rashford has been tried and failed as a 9 more times than Utd has had managers post-Fergie.
He got 17 G/A in the 19 games he played as #9 in 22/23
Hojlund is bang average. Marcus is the better ball carrier. As a wide player approaches 30, they do not want to keep running down the flanks. It’s easier to train a 27 year old on how to play with his back to goal vs teaching a 22 year old how to improve his first touch and maintain his balance.

GK-Onana 3 centre backs- Yoro, De Ligt and Martinez. The 4- Mazaroui, Ugarte, Mainoo and Dalot. Front 3- Bruno, Garnacho and Hojlund.
If anyone is conceding goals its Ipswich. I expect to win with 3+ goals margin. Love McKenna but we must start well. 4 1 I think fair result here.
DL Evans Licha would work well I think, introduce Yoro if fit at some point.
Dalot Ugarte Casemiro Garnacho, Eriksen Mainoo good options for central, Mazroaui Shaw Antony for wide
Amad Bruno Rashford, Hojlund Mount rotation options
Where we can improve is definitely Davies for LB, Gyokeres for ST, and probably add new defender like Branthwaite.
Lindelof Maguire Zirkzee surplus definitely
What a legend of a guy. Met you last week in a pub in miles platting
We could see Mazraoui playing as a LWB, as Amorim prefers a right-footer on the left and vice versa. His ability to use both feet is advantageous, and the LWB tends to be more defensive than the RWB. I expect to see him at RWB and sometimes RCB; a quality player of his calibre can't be left out.
Would absolutely love Mount to start hes looking sharp in training just hope he can stay fit
Never gonna give up on him
im going to be out of the box, and thinking about the space and they need to cover and and ball playing abilities to execute the splitting pass from the back, heres my lineup
onana

Love your work ,What app to use to learn match analysis?
First lineup will be:
Onana
Martinez, De Ligt, Evans
Mazraoui, Dalot
Casemiro, Ugarte
Bruno, Amad
Hojlund
He’ll bring on garnacho, rashford, maybe mainoo and maybe yoro
Bro, when are you going to start doing live before the gameweek again?
This match got more hype than world cup final!
❤
GGMUFC ❤
Kieran McKenna watching this on repeat
I really enjoy your analysis big up bro ❤
Im not convince with Rashford as no 9. Rasmus Hojlund are more suitable in that position in the system
Maguire has a more accurate passing range than Evans, so that's a dilemma for Amorim straight away.
Evans passing is fine. Maguire has the turning speed of a Container Ship

i think..
rashford
mount. bruno
dalot ugarte casemiro mazrouri
shaw evans. de ligt
bring mainoo and malacia diallo in later from bench
Isnt Casemiro slow to play Amorim’s high intensity system?

Why is Rashford always preferred when he is usually not very good? Am I missing something?
Prime Rashford was something out of this world. Most coaches still believe that Rashford can still reach that potential if they utilise him properly.
Interesting he mentioned Diallo specifically in a wingback role
I have seen these kind of videos more than 100 times
I think Tori will start because there’s no way Amorim pulled him out of the u21 game if he didn’t have a plan for him to play
Amorim we love you ❤❤
Good luck 🤞🍀
It won’t take more than two games at most for Amorim to realize that Casemiro can’t cut it in his system.
I don't know if all these RUclipsrs are on drugs or what, Antony will never start. Also, Mazraoui is the best wingback United have, there is no chance anyone will play before him.
I think the one that's on drugs is you as he's said literally in the beginning of this video these lineups are from THE LAST TRAINING SESSION. Maz is away on international duty which is why antony's starting on rwb
You clowns are so annoying
Wait how can you have both Shaw and Malacia over Nous? The two wingback positions are Dalot and Nous' to lose
i can see maguires contract extension
Frimpong is the obvious choice for the RWB position
Hey StatmanDave, if those Wee Foot Technology socks are as good as you say, maybe you should send a box over to the Man Utd squad-they could use all the support they can get right now... starting from the ground up!
Casimero as the box to box midfielder? OK but not every game because I don't think he has the legs for that week in week out? But as the holding midfielder he could?
I actually think it will take time for Antony to suit the right wing back slot. He slows down play too much.
If i have to hear Amorin one more time
think Mount and Nouss will start over Anthony and Amad
Expect to see Malacia at the start of his reign???? Really??? He has literally just been out for 18 months and has not had a minute of first team football since!
Mate see you later after the game if the team plays good game.
Perfect time to sell Rashford to Italy
A Sporting fan dies every time Dave calls them Sporting Lisbon
Rashford has no place in this team…shouldnt be starting over Houjlund
I hope Rashford works but i think he;s not physical enough to be a striker.
Just hope our players don't throw Amorim under the bus too.
I'm not sure Martinez is fit as he missed the international break. If he isn't fit I think it will be Evans there, De Ligt in the middle and Yoro on the right.
Might be
Three videos on amorim, you must be so excited 😊 about his appointment
