'It Is Not the System' - Amorim Defends Manchester United Tactics After Criticism From Rooney and Neville

Amorim defends his tactics amid criticism from Rooney and others as Man United sit 14th after losing three of six Premier League matches this season.

  • Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim defended his 3-4-2-1 tactical system ahead of Saturday's Premier League match against Sunderland at Old Trafford.
  • Amorim faces heavy criticism following a poor run that has left United 14th with two wins from six league games and mounting pressure to change tactics or face dismissal.
  • Despite losses and scrutiny from club legends like Wayne Rooney and Gary Neville, several current players have publicly supported Amorim and the system he has implemented.
  • Amorim stated, "The way we concede goals has nothing to do with the system," and emphasized that inconsistency, not tactics, explains their difficulties.
  • The manager confirmed he will not alter his tactical approach and urged the team to perform under pressure, signaling confidence in his methods despite recent struggles and calls for change.
