How Man United Will Play Under Rúben Amorim

Manchester United's first game under Ruben Amorim is mere days away, with the new manager having given a glimpse into his system during training. But with the club's best players returning from international duty in time to face Ipswich, how will he fit such a wealth of talent into the famed 3-4-2-1.
Adam Clery takes a look at the likely options, and thinks there might be big things in store for a number of the team's fringe players. Mason Mount, Antony, and Tyrell Malacia could be just as important to this team as Bruno Fernandes, Rasmus Hojlund, and Kobee Mainoo.

Directly compared to Sporting...

[@arjunsunil05]

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....

[@CollinSmithable]

As someone who watches a team with a 3-4-3 every week, this is the best summary of what Amorim will do. All other United fan big channel videos have no idea what they’re talking about

[@jasoninnes572]

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.

[@JoeBob79569]

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.

[@magikarpsplashy]

​@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.

[@CrabSully]

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.

[@JoeBob79569]

@@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!

[@christopherlugo211]

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.

[@YourFavouriteDraugr]

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.

[@n0body550]

[@FountainOfYoot]

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.

[@CoconutJewce]

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.

[@akosmolnar8038]

[@-gui-]

I like how opponent teams can go on KZbin and get a thousand video tutorials on United's strategies and weaknesses

[@Abc123ert56]

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.

[@dublin7]

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.

[@CrabSully]

I didn't know Christian Eriksen had a KZbin channel. Pretty good video - KZbin 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.

[@Doctor_Kroom]

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.

[@_Liyaqat.]

​@@Doctor_KroomI think in that case Amad will frequently step into the midfield and allow Mount and Bruno go upfront

@18:00 - it's true, man utd actually, without injuries, does have squad depth.

[@Liam301987]

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.

[@magikarpsplashy]

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

[@_Liyaqat.]

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.

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.

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.

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'm Portuguese and I've never seen a central defender moving up into midfield in a team coached by Ruben Amorim. One of the wingers is more defensive and the team forms a line of 4 at the back..... Teams automatically switch from 3-4-3 to 4-4-2 or 3-5-2 during the game.

The accuracy of the assessment of the squad. I can't agree.

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.
