Which players DO YOU think will succeed under Ruben Amorim at Manchester United? 🤔

[YTA]

We must back Amorim the way Arsenal backed Arteta.

[Bayoir]

Surprised you didn't mention Mount, he looks tailor made for any of the inside 10 role positions. Had his best spell at Chelsea under Tuchel in that role. He could also play deeper in midfield beside Ugarte or any other 4. Especially when the team gets more accustomed to the system and role.

[angelomendonca]

I think casemiro could be really solid alongside ugarte in the midfield while kobbie develops. Letting him play as the 8 at times seems to work well for him since he’s got a knack for a goal for us as well

[eoghan]

If Marcus Rashford ever plays at Wing back, we are

[mixitube]

Mazraoui is way more established than Amass. The fact that you would start Amass over Nous is utter disrespect!

[ALB]

If Amorim gets the existing United players doing this, I will be amazed. Great video.

[distant_sounds]

I’m really focused on the young players with good potential, seeing as how Amorim developed several academy players at Sporting. Our young lads like Gore, Lacey, Ibragimov, Mantato, Amass, Obi Martin, Kone, Collyer, Scanlon, Fletcher, Thwaites etc. Would be great if a few of them become solid first teamers in the squad.

[sullaybjr]

Bravo to you Dave, I was thinking I'd see Rashy. I'm glad you didn't include him and Bruno

[bobbyhaliwela]

Why do all these youtubers think Rashford is a must? Also, Amorim's wingback is not an actual wingback, they are more of a winger and he played a winger in that position.

[vishnupo]

You forgot mount. He is used to play in this system under tuchel.

[SmangeleMolusi]

I love how this guy talks in absolutes, like he knows the future

[Cold_Logic]

Tuanzebe locked down Mbappe as well ☠️

[jonathonhunt]

Fabulous discussion of Amorim’s tactics and how he can utilise United players’ talents. Thank you so much❤

[izemmir]

The players that performed the best for Sporting CP were Gyokeres, Inacio, Goncalves, Hjulmand & Diomande.

Expected Hojlund will score more goals, Martinez & Yoro will be like Inacio & Diomande, Bruno to be like Goncalves and better while Ugarte his former player already know his gameplay & tactical

[claywandera]

Amad is one is see a great fit for the right half space as bruno for the left half space
I would also think RVN should try this instead of playing rashford there and take garnacho to the bench for the next 2 games.

I would also want (though with little hope of it happening) to see amorim use a back 4 and keep rashford as the with left winger. With not ideal fullbacks to make the back 3 do wonders, tweaking a back 4 to make the shape that he achieves with a back 3 would be ideal for the current squad amidst the financial difficulties at the club but also there are players good enough to fit most of those positions amorim needs. They can implement the principles he makes use of in his back 3 system.
Have rashford and dalot give the width, bruno and amad fill the half spaces, ugarte and mainoo give the midfield solidity and martinez de ligt and yoro give u the back three base.
That could mimic the back 3 and every player would play to their strengths and wouldn't complicate the return positions when defending

[Moonmaestro]

I think Nouri would be perfect for us in the Lwb/Lm role

[turbotoke]

i cant wait to see how Højluns develops under Amorim, hopefully he gets more service than under ETH

[SJG]

Very good breakdown. Do you think it would be an advantage to ask the U18 and/or U21 coaches play in his preferred setup? Wouldn't it be easier for the younger plays to acclimatise to that formation and therefore be able to just 'drop in' to the 1st team.

[Legend-zobc]

Great vid, only thing I would say is that Amorim tends to use wingers in the wide roles rather than wing backs. I think he may end up getting one or two players for these roles in the long term.
