Ruben Amorim | United meet Sporting release clause

[Samid]

Think he'll eventually line up like this

Onana

Yoro
De Ligt ------------------- Martinez

Mainoo ------- Ugarte
Dalot ------------------------------------------------------- Shaw

Bruno -------------- Garnacho

Højlund​

 

[UnofficialDevil]

so reading up on his tactics and ideas, are we looking at something like this?

-----------------------Onana

-----------Yoro----De Ligt-----Martinez

Mazraoui---------------------------------------Dalot
----------------Ugarte---------Mainoo

------Fernandes--------------------Garnacho

----------------------Hojlund

Thoughts?

That looks awful to be honest

 

[Valencia Shin Crosses]

Not if the tactics actually work. People just don't understand how football works.

I'm well aware in how football and tactics can aid in the creation of chances, but if you're relying on Garnacho/Bruno to be reliable outlets for goals at this point we probably have enough evidence that it's going to be extremely hit or miss in front of goal. Ideally that team would facilitate Hojlund far more though I guess.

 

[gaffs]

He is Dreamy!

 

[Pscholes18]

Feck me, we're never getting rid of Bruno now.

 

[Sly]

It wouldn't be the dream scenario for us, I'd say.

Cmon we sold Ronaldo, Nani and even Bruno (when in form and I believe Amorim would get him back to first season form) to you, we need this.

Sorry bout Rojo though.

Swap out Garnaucho for Eriksen or Mount, he likes two 10’s

 

[Redfrog]

He's coming from a significantly weaker league, like ETH did. That's my worry, but all we can do is hope!

His achievements are more impressive also. Sporting was far away from Benfica and Porto when he took over and has never been as big as this two.

 

[Leão]

Not the biggest Amorim fan, because of is back 3, but he is by far the greatest Sporting manager in the last 50 years. He completely change the club and won 2 Leagues in 4 years, after being 19 years without winning it. Lets see how he adapts is style to the Premier League.

Mainoo ------- Ugarte

Bruno -------------- Garnacho

Højlund​

Would rather play Mount instead of Garnacho. I think Garnacho isn't suited to this system at all

 

[Tom Van Persie]

Feck me, we're never getting rid of Bruno now.

He will get back to his best under Amorim.

 

[chris123]

Can also see the Alphonso Davies links really picking up steam if this happens

 

[BuzzKillington]

I'm excited considering some people were touting Thomas Frank and Mckenna.

SSN have been pushing that one all day. The thought of long ball football and having to look at Thomas Frank on a weekly basis was depressing.

 

[DRJosh]

I hope he is ‘an answer’ to our failings as a club but we all know how this dance usually ends. If he can guarantee us a top 6 finish, that would be a remarkable result.

 

[Livewire1974]

Up and coming manager that did well in a shite league, what could go wrong ?

 

[Woziak]

If he plays 343 we’re will Bruno play there is no no 10 role

He plays 3421 with two number 10’s

 

[Andycoleno9]

So, last rwo years we were buying players for him. He plays with 2 no10 (Mount), with 3 defenders (we have 6), wuth wing backs (Maz) and mudfield destroyer (Ugarte).

We only fecked up with selling shot stopper.

 

[Judas]

The hair transplant was a stroke of genius. I take him a lot more seriously with the healthier head of hair.

 

[RedorDead21]

Reddit tells me he stubbornly plays 3 at the back. How will that work with us?

I wouldn’t worry few managers replicate what they did previously once here, style or results wise

 

[Spoony]

He turned down Liverpool and probably Barcelona too.

 

[Sly]

Think he'll eventually line up like this

Onana

Yoro
De Ligt ------------------- Martinez

Mainoo ------- Ugarte
Dalot ------------------------------------------------------- Shaw

Bruno -------------- Garnacho

Højlund​

Seems accurate. I think he would give a chance to slabhead too. Sebastian Coates turned into an incredible player (to our standards) with him.

 

[Fortitude]

United has been my second team for more than two decades. I can't believe that I'll have to become a hater. We will go back to being shite if you take him *crying emoji

Sorry for you, sincerely.

You’re doing so well and we’re likely to destroy that.

 

[KiD MoYeS]

He looks like a Sacha Baron Cohen character.

 

[Its all gone Shane Long]

Very quick but also probably been worked on for weeks, and took time to negotiate hence why they didn’t sack Ten Hag during the last international break. After Tuchel he was my second choice so I hope this will work out. We have got to see an identity with the first 3 months and more intense forward play.

 

[Sly]

He will get back to his best under Amorim.

Ding ding, this is the correct answer. Probably would make him play like he does in our NT, where he is good and influencial.

 

[Mr Pigeon]

For those wondering, yes he can speak English.

Are Portuguese people just inherently good at speaking different languages? Between him, Bruno, Ronnie, the guy who owned a bar that idolised Luis Figo in the Algarve and sold cocktails to underage Scottish teenagers, the drunk taxi driver that almost got us all killed. All of them speak perfectly good English.

 

[Ollie Derbyshire]

Rashford et al will eat him alive.

That’s where INEOS have to come in and stamp any disobedience out in the ranks, whether that’s a high profile, highly paid player or a youngster.

 

[RedRocket9908]

He turned down Liverpool and probably Barcelona too.

He didnt turn Liverpool down, he apparently accepted the job but the move colapsed over Sporting's compensation demands

 

[Andycoleno9]

He plays 3421 with two number 10’s

I am so excited about this. I like 343 system (well executed of course).
I do hope that he will not do Ten Hag and change his style because "it does not suit PL".

 

[jigen]

Amorin plays with 3 at the back. You haven't the wing backs for his system. I can see Dalot, Mazhouri and Shaw (if fit) only as full backs in a 4 defensive line.

 

[Skills]

Rashford et al will eat him alive.

 

[wolvored]

For those wondering, yes he can speak English.

Easy to understand and easier on the ear compared to th. Sometimes he said stuff that was hard to comprehend and maybe a language problem. Doesn’t seem that with Amorim

 

[Sly]

Sorry for you, sincerely.

You’re doing so well and we’re likely to destroy that.

Yep. He's been the best manager in my lifetime. A joy to watch Sporting.

Oh well, if he is to leave I prefer it's to United.

 

[-Supreme-]

Does he only play 3 at the back?

 

[Cutch]

Return for Alvaro Fernandez could be on the cards for left wing back

 

[RedRocket9908]

Rashford et al will eat him alive.

Rashford can be one of the first out of the door then

 

[Spoony]

He didnt turn Liverpool down, he apparently accepted the job but the move colapsed over Sporting's compensation demands

Screw that. I like the other version.

 

[saik]

He's got hair!

He is the one.

So we are going for our own Lego Pep rather than the bald Pep? Eh. But he's coming to United. The stress of the job will make him lose his hair anyways. And then we will have our own bald Pep.

 

[devilsadvoca8]

He looks like a Sacha Baron Cohen character.

Sacha would have named him Rubbing Amorimjob.
