With Ruben Amorim in full control of Manchester United, Statman Dave takes a look at why his 3-4-2-1 is so well suited to his new squad; how the system will remove certain problem positions; and why teams that deploy a back 3 generally overperform…

I'm actually excited to see what Amorim will do at Man Utd. Cautious, but optimistic.

[raihanmahmud]

Tactical fluidity is like kryptonite for the Manchester United squad

[ngigemartin]

The reason why amorim will be successful at united is because of managing skills and unlocking players potential by knowing their type of talent they have. Someone like diallo as no.10 will be a beast

[micascumbana]

Excellent tactical analysis as well as how Amorim will be able to fit the current players from the squad to his 3-4-3. I also liked the interesting analysis that you made in the competitive advantage that Man United will have in transfer windows. I know very well Amorim from Portuguese League and I’m sure that Man United will improve a lot with him as their Coach!

[darker]

Good work Dave. We need our players to trust each other and understand each others roles. Believe Amorin can define and establish roles for each player and they perform well

[alqanasalr]

what about mazraoui as a wing back. hes better than all of the suggested players

[ElvisDonkor-vh]

You’ll be the same person to create “why United struggle under Amorim”…

[biggazza]

Amorim also liked players to be a utility player, play a couple of positions. Develops players from the youth also. I think its refreshing to see a new shape and tactics. Needs time, but i think we will see patterns very early compared to other coaches we have had. I am excited but cautious.

Great video on Amorim team structure instead of the many ive seen on who will Amorim play or who he has to sign or sell . Also explaining clearly how his system works in many combinations.

[ImOnYoutubee]

I'll still give him time to rebuild and support him irrespective of result.
As a fan I want instant impact but I won't be harsh for early failures.

[Michaelkaydee]

Brilliant video as always... thorough and informative. 👍🏽

[drunkpigeon]

Bruno, Amad, Zirkzee and Mount can do very well in that inside-forward role

[davidr]

I always feel that there's a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel with Statman's videos. It's almost the only channel I watch regularly as so many of the others are <yawn>

[SqueakyWeasel]

Think Mazroui will be more important than Dalot in the wing-back position but his versatility and work-rate means he will fit in anywhere on the right side (or left). Also, one advantage of the 343 you didn't discuss, admittedly you only talked about "in" possession, is having the front three to press more diligently when out of possession.

[sicboy]

I think Amad will play on the right side and Bruno on the left as the two number 10s; I don't see much room for Rashford, as Ruben wants players with intensity.

[bigfudge]

One of the most worrying things about this was seeing our wage bill compared to our position every season. We need to offload some of these players on big wages that aren't playing, I think the manager needs to get the best out of the players we have before we start buying new ones.

[hopelessaquarian]

Great video! I've had similar thoughts about the advantages this system could bring. Oc it also has its disadvantages, but overall I'm pretty excited to see how this will turn out. In the end it all comes down to the level of intensity that our players are able and willing to reach on a consistent basis. To succeed, they need to buy in 100% to the coaches ideas.

[phenomenals]

Ah statman dave I love your videos man i just love tactics and scenarios even if they are realistic or not

[dayoadeleke]

I think 3-4-3 has it’s pros and cons. You’ve highlighted the pros but not so much about the con. Garnacho as a left wing back may be problematic. He barely tracks back (remember Casemiro shouting at him a few games ago). Amorim has to figure who’s best suited for him. His system requires a prolific center forward and we don’t currently have any.

[lwandomadikizela]

Our squad is suited for the 343 formation. Most of our wide players aren't out and out wingers and we haven't got one since Di Maria left the club. Young and Valencia were more fullbacks than wingers.
