I think he plays 4 at the back vs Ipswich…..
Ruben Amorim - Manchester United Head Coach
- Thread starter sewey89
- Start date
I mean he usually does but he then reverts to bad form and looking disinterested the minute things aren't smooth sailing.
I've never looked so forward to seeing the back of a player as I am with him. So sick of the years of inconsistency and poor attitude.
why?
no way. He has consistently said he will use a system he is familiar with
“United cannot play the way we play, they cannot be so defensive. We will have to adapt.”
“I know how I am going to play in the beginning because you have to start with a structure that you know. We don’t have a lot of time to train, so I have to show something that I know very well.”
These quotes for me point to a back 4. United don’t know how to play a back 3 with wing backs. He acknowledges there isn’t much time to train, and I think the last bit means he is aware he has to deliver from the start ( just my interpretation I could be wrong) as opposed to imposing a system that he knows but the players don’t.
If I may..
- The first quote was after the Sporting-Man City game and he was referring to the fact that Sporting only had 30% possession and had to play in counter attack. What he ment was that Man United cannot play defensively and in counter attack. He explained that.
- In the second quote he was referring to a structure that he and his backroom team know very well (not the players) - " I have to show something I know very well". And that is a 3-4-3 (or 3-4-2-1 if you prefer).
So I believe he will star to show his idea from day one.
Most likely starting with FB as wingbacks and changing to using wingers when the defensive system is implemented

He takes his first training session tomorrow right?
If you include the GK, yes
Can’t see Yoro starting straight back from injury. A lot of people have him in the starting 11 but it’s a risk. He’d be better being eased in, especially with the physicality of the league.
Would imagine full training isn’t until Thursday at best with Nations League on Tuesday and CONMEBOL WC quals on Wednesday.
Can’t see it. His interview the other day says it all. It’s obvious he wants to start with something he knows and lay down the foundations from the start.
He could get some game time in the next couple of games to build him up ready for the big games against Arsenal and City next month. If he isn’t integrated soon it will only get harder toward Christmas
He’ll have a good few months then get back to the rashford we’ve been seeing lately.
I’m gambling on the difference between a system he knows well, and a system the players know well….
Wonder if he continues to wear an arm band during games but obviously with our crest.
True. But if he’s going to want to implement his system then he may aswell start from the off so the players can get more familiar with it.
I think he comes on against Ipswich and then starts the Europa game midweek.
I saw sky sports had him in the starting 11 a few days back, I thought it was nuts. No way he starts.
Genuinely looking to the ‘how many were we playing at the back’ debate this time next week.
A breath of fresh air to hear something nice and objective about Pogba. Thanks
Alternatively a stale, foul and bitter stench to hear yet more criticism of our best player and captain. Thanks
I think people have confused systems with formations
I read it the total opposite, he will start with a structure he knows "I have to show something that I know very well"
The first line means he can't play so defensive, as in as the underdog as they were in the City game.
It shouldn't be too difficult to decipher from the quote you posted - "We don’t have a lot of time to train, so I have to show something that I know very well.”
It's possible the tweaks in shape could be quite subtle but I'm hoping Amorim goes bold. I'll be most interested in seeing what he does with the wing-backs. Someone like Mazraoui definitely has the intelligence to drop in and form part of the back 3 if Amorim wants to go more attacking and use a winger as one of the wing-backs.
Who would they have trained with? The coaches weren't permitted. Winter break coming up, that weeks rest was needed. Especially when a majority are still training and playing.
No, no and no.
Is that you Paul?
Rashford's playing the big I am in New York.
Must've organized himself with Case
Oh look! You CAN go to the ball game without dressing like a div!!
Whats with these newbies, are they Pogba's accounts? Appearing from nowhere to support him 
I thought he would’ve already started training. We have a high amount of players who didn’t leave for international breaks. This could’ve been a pre-season of sorts especially with the barrage of games coming soon.
As ideal as that would've been, it wouldn't have been possible seeing as he only got his work visa on Friday

It’s important to implement the new system and improve through repetition. Anything else will just delay the inevitable as there’s always going to be teething problems.
Defensive midfielders and fullbacks can also play there.
