Time is right to change Man Utd formation – Amorim

Ruben Amorim, head coach, claims that if he had changed Manchester United’s formation due to media pressure, it would have been “the end” for him.

For the first time since beating Newcastle United, Amorim used a wing-back formation to replace an orthodox back four that included two holding midfielders.

By his own admission, his team held on for the win, which was only their second clean sheet of the season, turning into a back six in the dying stages.

Amorim claims having the ability to play with a variety of formations has always been his plan despite the famous saying no even the Pope could force him to change his system.

He claims that he could only switch because his team was performing well enough otherwise it would appear as though he was bowing to external noise.

He said, “When I came here last year, I realized maybe I don’t have the players that I don’t have to play well in that system,” but the process was just beginning.

We were attempting to create an identity. Today has a different significance. We need to adapt because we don’t have many players, so make sure they understand what we’re all about.

It is not because of the fans or the media’s pressure.

“I can’t change because the players will understand that I’m changing because of you,” the manager said when [media] talked about constantly changing the system.

The moment to change is when we play well in our system.

Because we won’t play with three defenders all the time when all the players return, we will become a better team.

It is questionable whether Amorim’s claim that his side have been playing well is accurate given that they only had two victories in eight games before losing to Newcastle.

However, he is working with a weakened squad, with seven senior players already ruled out of the home game against Wolverhampton Wanderers, who are winless.

If Mason Mount is unable to recover from the injury that made him unavailable for the Newcastle game at half-time, that number will rise.

Despite asking his manager to let him play after suffering a hamstring injury in the defeat at Aston Villa on December 21, Captain Bruno Fernandes is one of those who will miss the Wolves game.

Bruno already needs to train, according to Amorim.

“But there’s no way he’s going to play against Wolves,” he said. No chance . That is what you can write.

The 31-year-old will likely still be heavily involved because Fernandes closely watched the warm-ups before the Newcastle game from the mouth of the tunnel, unlike when most players are injured or suspended from watching games from the directors’ box or a private box.

Amorim anticipates that his captain will continue to provide input.

He claimed that the “man is a leader.” He can’t possibly be that person who doesn’t talk or speak when he’s not playing. He speaks without stopping. He is the captain because of this.

He sometimes does things wrong with his arms, but he does it with good things. He watches the other guys train after he recovers from a game or even a treatment. There are many things you cannot see.

He’s a leader, I don’t know whether he wants my job or not. The man is a leader, right?
