Ruben Amorim Might Have Finally Solved Manchester United Problem Position that Could Fix His Formation

Despite winning only eight of 31 Premier League games under Amorim's 3-4-2-1 system, Manchester United's co-owner supports the manager amid pressure to improve results.

  • The manager of Manchester United, Ruben Amorim, stated on Thursday that not even the Pope could convince him to abandon his favored 3-4-3 formation despite growing criticism.
  • This statement followed a turbulent week highlighted by a 3-0 defeat to Manchester City and scrutiny over United's sluggish start with only four points from four league games.
  • Amorim maintained that he will stick with his current tactical setup, emphasizing that yielding to external demands could weaken his standing with the players.
  • Although United have managed just a single goal from open play across six hours of league action this season, Amorim remains optimistic, highlighting the team’s strong position—second place—in expected goals and their league-leading number of goal attempts as encouraging indicators.
  • Amorim affirmed there will be an evolution of the system through careful steps, but his firm stance poses ongoing questions about the club’s prospects this season.
