Back 3 is perfectly suited in fairness.
Plenty of options in midfield including one of his former players.
The problem lies in the forwards and what he can get out of them, not in a full squad overhaul.

considering where we are in the table I would have requested our players not to go on international duty
So he’s had his visa approved a few days ago, and we haven’t won the league yet?!
Don’t think we or any other club has the power to do that for these Nations League matches as they are classed by FIFA as “competitive fixtures”. If they were international friendlies then we can pull them out.
Has Mr Beast reacted to it yet?
Looking forward to the first pics of Amorim on the training pitch next week.
Well but we also dropped no points since he started
This is true.
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.
Weird one. Fergie has always pointed out that he’s had to gradually adapt to different mindsets and also treating players differently because not all of them will respond to the same things. Not to mention a large increase in wages and wealth which would see young players potentially being financially secured at an early stage. One of his greatest strengths was being able to connect with different players. You’ll have quotes from players back to the early days under Cantona highlighting how players were treated differently, how some would have an easier time escaping punishment, to how he adjusted himself to more modern situations like giving Ronaldo extra time off
I know you asked someone’s opinion but I think the answer of this question is clear that he will at least play 3 at the back of 343 or 352 or 3421 because in Amorim’s interview Ruben Amorim when asked if he's gonna play with back three at Man United, he said ‘’I have to start from something I know very well and then develop that with the players’’. That means he will implement the 343 system from the start because it’s something he knows very well and develop it gradually with the players.
Can't lie this is the first post Fergie United manager bar LVG I've been worried about in terms of making you a force in the league again.
Well there’s the small fact of international duty

The clip for anyone interested:
Mourinho was a top coach till a decade or so back. Reality is, his brand of football and inflexibility in style made him a dinosaur of the modern game. What he did in Porto, Chelsea and Inter were kind of revolutionary at that time, but come Madrid, it became kind of predictable and others over took him. He had a run of 12 years as a top manager and that's it.
He talked about his "identity" several times in the interview, as opposed to tactics/formation/pressing etc. Maybe it has been discussed here already but does anybody know what identity can we expect in Amorim's squad? If I think about some of our past managers, SAF was aggression, LVG was possession, Mourinho was counterattack(?) and ETH was fast transitions.
If we wait for a squad overhaul it will be another 3 years.
It’ll need to be a mix. Signings will clearly be needed but I’m expecting him to at least mould some of these players into what he needs (ala Victor Moses to wing-back). We have a lot of good, fast technical players who should really be able to play in multiple systems if taught correctly.
Please allow Pogba to train with the club. If he proves he still has the ability let him support Mainoo as CM.
Ugarte Mainoo
Casemiro Pogba

You're not serious surely?
Ill suited? why?
Onana, Yoro, Maguire, De Light, Licha, Shaw, Maz, Dalot, Ugarte, Mainoo, Bruno, Mount, Rashford, Garnacho, Amad, Hojlund have a place in his system. Maybe some positions have more options while the other need better options. But still... he can work with it. He isnt exactly Van Gaal inheriting players after David Moyes.
I want Pogba, he's the most technically gifted CM I've seen. He'd now have a good squad and top manager to work with in a 343.
If he physically is there, he could be Eriksen with legs.
Doesn’t matter how good he is. He comes with an horrible attitude. No thanks. We got rid of the likes of him and Lingard for a reason. We’re changing the culture.
I think Amorim is a bit of everything. He likes his attackers to attack quickly. He likes pressing high up and he definitely loves possession football.
He won't have fit CBs left by the time he starts.
Definitely not.
Ruben(along with the new team above him)needs a fresh start and a clean break from the past.
Pogba was generally crap last time he was here and Ruben does not need that clown or the circus that comes with him anywhere near the club.
United match going fans don't deserve Pogba, let them keep signing Bruno's name as he spams nearly half of his passes into row z. The fact Pogba never had his own song is all you need to know about the environment he got here.
I hope he finds a club that appreciates him and he can get back to his best, which is absolute genius.
Christ we have some gluttons for punishment masquerading as fans of this club.
Pogba hasn't put an injury free, consistent season together for 5 years and it's still everyone else's fault but his apparently.
fecking hell
Is this the new WUM? Pogba stank up the club, he is one of the worst players I have ever seen at Utd in terms of attitude and effort, he had moments of brilliance interspersing long periods of either dawdling about sulking or holding on to the ball trying to dribble past 6 players then losing it, before pitching a tantrum.
I have rarely been so glad to see the back of a player, I do not care if he is free to sign and offered to play just for the love of the game I would never want to see him in a Utd shirt ever again, he would be the nail in the coffin of Amorim's tenure before it even begins.
Yep.
I doubt you’ll get an answer. That poster is perennially miserable and negative.
Peak Pogba was the best midfielder in the league hands down.
Peak Pogba unfortunately happened like three times a season. And that's before accounting for injuries, his last very long one and the doping ban. Total non starter to even think about

I recommend listening to Sergio Krithinas speaking to Duncan Castles about Ruben Amorim here:
He goes into greater detail and the picture he paints is pretty spectacular.

Exactly, I think the squad is ideal for Amorim. Sure we all know that the strikers aren't lethal enough and we probably need 1 more CB but I don't think we're in a bad place. Maybe another cm but there's enough quality in the youth team to fill that position imo.
I feel its far from ideal, not just for Amorim but any coach. It simply lacks top players who could make difference in matches consistently. A club of our stature needs atleast 2 top quality attacking players but we have Bruno and Rashford who haven't been at that level for a long time now.
Jesus wept.
I agree. But deserved victories at CP and WH would have us in top 4 already.
I can scarcely believe anyone would want him back for any reason whatsoever, and then you have this... That's certainly a take, kudos for saying it, even if I find it unfathomable.
What nonsense are you going on about. He doesn’t deserve us. He’s toxic. Bruno is miles above Pogba and the stats show that.
