Ruben Amorim - Manchester United Head Coach

Have a feeling he’ll love Amad in one of those inside forward positions and actually think he’ll be able to develop Garnacho nicely for the other.

All the tactics in the world won’t help this lot. We need better players. Strength, pace, stamina, desire, ball retention. There is only a handful of players that meet this requirement.

Agreed. That is why every manager fails. This bunch can only play on the counter, nothing else. Very few players combine technical and physical qualities.

Cental defenders and GK is only position that's capable to adapt. The whole other lot is so many question marks it's scary. If he manages to put this lot to play a high dominant football, he is THE GUY.

This is the prevailing thinking across Twitter but let's wait and watch. I think we're fine both physically and technically across CB, RWB, CM x2. I think we'll be fine - the composition of the front three needs to take into account physicality and technique.

Why did we only do a 2 and a half year deal?

Pessimistically?
Because Amorim will either have been sacked by that time or we will be desperately looking to replace him with the next hopeful.

I wish people would stop talking like every manager has had the same pool of players. ETH changed 75% of his squad so if he still had a squad that couldn’t play his way that’s on him as a coach.

Ineos keeping their options open if it doesnt work. There is a plus one year as well on Ineos. If Ruben has done well, even if its only got us playing to a good style, he will be given another 2/3 year contract I would think.

Just because another manager changed 75% of the squad it doesn't really mean anything does it?

If he's a good coach he will improve things but to what end?

Exactly, I hope he won't fall into the age old trap of giving players countless chances to match his style or compromise too much to suit lazy players or those who lack the intensity required in his tactics.

I think we have around 5 or 6 players who can fit what he wants seamlessly whilst two or three could adjust. With a few months away from a proper window I hope he is ready to use the academy to fill out the missing profiles.

Weirdly I actually feel more confident/excited that we have elements in the squad that Amorim can work with tonight than I did about him destroying City with Sporting the other night.
