Do you think Amorim will implement his 343 from day one, or will it be more gradual?
Ruben Amorim - Manchester United Head Coach
- Thread starter sewey89
- Start date
Does this mean training can now start?
A first impression may mean little but it can be the start of everything. Defending his players, playing without fear and maintaining a clear identity. Amorim has a clear vision. But with Rashford, Shaw and Maguire still in the mix I find myself torn between doubts and fears. Despite, I still have hope.
I remember hearing wed announce all staff together once work visas were done, so I'm assuming so.
Think they’ll start on Monday.
Absolutely no idea why Maguire is being brought up.
I liked Ten Hag and would stand up and clap him if he was back at Old Trafford…… However, he was a nerd and he had no charisma. The Manchester United manager needs character and charisma. In that interview Amorim has it.
When was this?
Or the other two. If he doesn't like these players the club aren't going to impose them on him. It's needless drama.
I’m glad he’s been allowed to bring over the team he wants and not forcing ex-players turned coaches on him. While at first it does seem nice and wholesome, it probably presents a risk of undermining in the future especially if that ex-player was part of a really good team that was successful, and the team is in a slump.
And that said ex-player would be quietly gunning for the role in the future, because I think clubs still have that ‘Guardiola/Barcelona possibility’ mentality in their heads.

Can’t help but think “reservoir dogs”
Really hope it goes well for him. He has so much more charisma than ETH which I do feel is important at a big club. Hopefully the club have finally got a managerial appointment right
Very young staff he has. Wonder how that goes down with some of the players who complained about McKenna for instance... (if those players are still there).
Jesus two of the coaches aren't even in their 30's yet. Feck me I'm old 
They didn’t really complain about his age more he was ‘school masterly’ in his approach
True - shameful by United
I think it'll be a 343 from the start so that players start to get used to their roles on the pitch.
There might be tweaks here and there, maybe a 3241 with the two center midfielders closer to the defensive line, or a 3421, but the essence should be the 343.
It almost certainly won't be what he envisions for them, but it makes little sense to use a different setup than the one he plans on using in the future.
Maybe we do need young coaches to understand these young players (millionaires) better old school didn’t workJesus two of the coaches aren't even in their 30's yet. Feck me I'm old
No, it shut down a few years ago.
It was the definition of a "dive". I only went in there once, to see if it was as bad as everyone said. It was much worse!
I remember hearing Evra's interview with Rio and he was saying how if modern players had to deal with Fergie, he would end up in jail
. He also mentioned that's one of the main reasons mourinho's style of management doesn't work in the modern game with how players are these days.I agree, to an extent. It's not just the tactics and approach to football that have changed to be successful. It's also the style of management.

Agree 100%. I was at a talk given by David Gill, when he said that his two favourite signings were Evra and Vidic, as they both took the trouble to learn and embrace everything about the club. Plus, they gave great service and didn't cost the club a fortune.
Fair play to the immediate assimilation into our city. Tracksuits on and hoods up. Hope they went shoplifting as well.
He couldn't have been more clear in his induction interview. His way from the get go and if they don't get it, it's on him.
He thinks they've all got the ability to understand and get it straight away and I respect him for it.
Very excited to have someone with clear plans and I don't think getting chinned by Brentford will deter him.
I’m hyped. What a goddamn handsome young man. Full of style, smile, confidence and charisma. I’m in love already
I am sure they understand but can they execute? Do we have 3 fit CBs? Who will play wing back? Do we have 2 CMs who can run and press?
Martínez, de Ligt, Lindelof… Yoro close/in training.
Dalot and Maz maybe to start, Shaw in training.
We have two CMs and the press will start from the front. Ugarte and Cas both steadily improving… ones just scored his debut Intl game, one had a good rest and in better shape this season.
Saul Goodman.

This makes a ton of sense to me. Thanks for the post.
Evans then, Lindelöf is injured.
That’s an improvement
I wasn’t keeping an eye on all the Intl games, but yes, Lindelof is NOW injured
I think if we get Davies, Shaw would play LCB.
Maybe. Personally I think Martínez is better suited. Better long passer (for me) and doesn’t switch off like Shaw occasionally does.
"Amorim’s visa sorted early in week" - does that mean it's already been sorted early last week, or that it's to be sorted early next week?
Read's like the former, but there haven't been any reports that it's all been sorted days ago and that he can officially start work have there?
Really depends on what Shaw is as a player at this point. If he gets back to 22/23 levels, then he's far better defending wide areas and big spaces than Martinez which would be a factor. But at this point I'm basically not even considering Shaw part of the squad to rely upon.
