(3-4-2-1): Mainoo, Yoro and Mount returns but TWO attackers unused- Man United’s lineups under Ruben Amorim as TWO first team attackers told to Leave in January
Manchester United’s newly appointed head coach, Ruben Amorim, is expected to bring big changes to Old Trafford.
The Portuguese coach, known for his tactical style and success at Sporting Lisbon, has hinted he plans to use his signature 3-4-3 formation with the Red Devils.
Amorim’s arrival, slightly delayed by visa processing, has fans and analysts eagerly awaiting his debut on November 24, where United will face Ipswich Town.
The tactical vision of Ruben Amorim
During his farewell at Sporting, Amorim dropped hints about his plans for United’s lineup.
When asked about his strategy, he suggested he would introduce his trusted formation with three central defenders rather than United’s recent setup with two.
He emphasized that his approach would adapt based on United’s existing squad, any injuries, and player strengths, though he plans to stick to a system he knows well.
“I know how I am going to play in the beginning,” Amorim explained.
“You have to start with a structure that you know. Then you adapt to the players, their abilities to defend or attack.”
His response has sparked curiosity among United fans, as this switch could bring a fresh approach that balances defense and attack.
Amorim’s tactical philosophy proved successful in Portugal, where he led Sporting to two league titles.
His disciplined and adaptable style is expected to bring stability to United, who have shown recent improvement under interim coach Ruud van Nistelrooy, staying unbeaten in their last four games.
United supporters are hopeful Amorim’s approach will bring the consistency they’ve been longing for. Whether or not the formation change unlocks the potential of United’s talented roster will soon be put to the test.
