How Manchester United Line Up Under Ruben Amorim

In this video, Sam looks at how Sporting Lisbon set up under Ruben Amorim and then looks at how Manchester United's squad would fit inside that system, who would benefit the most, where the weaknesses would be and what United's best XI might look like straight away.

So Ruben Amorim is confirmed. He's going to be Manchester United's new manager. What would you choose as the strongest starting XI for the new 3-4-3 system we're about to see implemented?

Lots of videos about how Amorim will setup.

The most important tactic is in the dressing room. Amorim is similar to ETH in terms of automated systems, high intensity, and hard work. INEOS have sent the players a statement intent that they intend to continue that process, that the players tried to stop or could not get to grips with under ETH.

Hopefully they allow Amorim to break that player power, either by turning them into allies and go with the vision or through fear that they will actually be dropped when they fail. Apparently he faced similar issues at Sporting with a toxic culture and player power and managed to turn it around.

If this does not happen then all the pictures you draw on the tactics board are just abstract art.

Considering we've seen EtH talking about not bringing his Ajax football to Utd. I'm not taking any of these potential Utd XIs seriously. I'll wait until we see his team in a match.

The quality gap is quite big between The Primeira Liga and The Prem, same case as it was for EtH from the Eredivisie to the Prem so I am definitely worried about how he'll try to bridge that gap and translate his system to fit in the Prem.

people seem to forget Zirkzee has 2 assists in his last 2 games. He's not doing THAT bad. He can be effective in the 10 position

[williamredpath]

I know this will be an unpopular view, but we've never played Antony on the left despite the fact he's really left-footed. He's tenacious enough to be good left cover in front of Martinez on the left. He's quick, persistent off the ball, and I think it would be worth exploring how he'd play on the left. Certainly something to experiment with against lower teams in the cup competitions.

The name "Gyökeres" is Hungarian, and it’s pronounced roughly as "DYU-keh-resh". Here’s a breakdown:

Gy sounds like the "dy" in "adieu."

ö is a vowel sound similar to the German "ö" or the French "eu" in "bleu."

keres is pronounced with a soft "r" and ends in "-esh."

In Hungarian, the stress is always on the first syllable, so it would be DYU-keh-resh.

we all loved and wanted ETH's Ajax style and all excited to have him, remember when he punished the players after 0 4 defeat against Brenford? all positivity but then all the pressure sank him, Amorim is still very young coach, i just hope he could turn things around a little bit this season, not any high hope at all

[MrLePov]

With how attacking (particularly dribbling) Amorim likes his wide players to be, I think you're more likely to see Garnacho, Antony, and even Amad on the wings rather than someone like Mazraoui.

I could see Mazraoui get more game time as the right centre back.

[securedtortilla]

Mount would be superb next to Bruno. Zirkzee can also function excellently there.

[richyclubsport]

No one knows anything until we see how Amorin set's up and who he thinks players wise, fit's his system whatever it might be until he's been at MUFC for a month or two.

I have to say im impressed of this fanbase. Houndreds .. even thousands of fans wanted and semanded amorim so they must watch lot of portugese football.

Also its funny how so many says hes style is so different than eths.

Yo.. its almost identical.. and thats good

[enthusiastsajan]

Man, my feed is all ruben amorim😂.
Crazy

[michael]

I think Antony can do a job as a LWB. He's go defensive tenacity & is comfortable on the ball

[stainypoo]

pretty sure garnacho will be playing wingback mostly tbh. he's the only winger we got that prefers keeping width. amorim uses those types at wingback. quenda the 17 year old is a highly touted forward but plays the wingback. amad, mount, bruno and rashford will thrive playing on the inside in that narrow front 3. if amorim goes with his current system. my biggest concern is actually the double pivot. they have to be great in transitions, mainoo struggles in defensive transitions and casemiro ain't getting younger, morita and hjulmand are more similar to ugarte and casemiro, the 2 main cogs. also amorim often use a fullback as the wide cb, malacia, shaw, dalot are great fits for it, they all done it before as well

[albanodoko]

I love his system hope it will work on us too come on united

[rehanmalik]

The most important thing I'm looking forward from Ruben is if he is daring to kick out deadwood like Shaw, Lindelof and Rashford. If he does that then he genuinely becomes the best post fergie manager according to me.

[anonymousMarine]

Youre giving Rashford too much credit. The guy has no idea how to move off the ball. Stands out wide and demands ball to feet. One of our most brain dead players.

[AlexRaha]

Damn you've been busy today earning your coin!

Keep up the awesome work.

I'm excited to see United play 3 at the back. I do think Zirkzee could thrive playing just behind the central striker.

Yoro, Martinez, De Ligt and even Maguire could all do well in a 3. As to who plays where, that'll be interesting to see. Especially with channel defending requirements.

The wingback positions are screaming for United to buy back Alvaro in January for the LWB.

Ugarte and Mainoo should be fine in the pair. I do think this spells the beginning of the end for Eriksen, Casemiro and possibly Antony.

I do wonder where Rashford and Garnacho fit in? I'm not sure I'd pick both over Bruno, so that's 4 or 5 if you include Amad, to play in 2 positions?!

Someone will leave in summer.

Agression? With that team full of princesses? 😂😂
