Amorim also had to disillusion

T LOSE IN PERFORMANCE

Of course, performance is only one aspect of football, but it is an important one. The recent 0-3 loss to Bournemouth was Amorim's 6th match in the Premier League. And the points achieved in the last 6 matches of MU are lower than the points achieved by coach Erik Ten Hag in the last 6 matches in the Premier League, before he was fired by MU.

Coach Amorim is confused about what is happening with MU

Luckily for United, they met Manchester City at a time when Pep Guardiola’s men were in a slump, and Amorim still had a memorable win in the Manchester derby. But the reality is: even with their own momentum, United still couldn’t capitalize on that mental boost to improve their performance. United were still only 13th in the table at Christmas. They were eliminated from the English League Cup.

Back at Sporting, Amorim had not known defeat at home for 18 months. Now, he has lost two consecutive home games, even though the opponents were only Nottingham Forest and Bournemouth. With such a poor run of results in the early stages, Amorim is officially disillusioned: there is no miracle for him, in the fierce battle of the Premier League.

Once he fails to make a splash with good results, Amorim's next job will be very difficult, because he will not quickly win the trust of the executives. The decision to drop Marcus Rashford, for example: there will be pressure from Jim Ratcliffe. The audience may turn their backs on Amorim. He also will not be able to put pressure back on the executives in the upcoming transfer window.

WEAK PRODUCTS

Coach Amorim's principle is to always apply a 3-defender formation. At one time or another, there are still central defenders who shine in the MU defense. But the important thing that determines the solidity of a 3-defender defense does not lie in the defenders themselves, but in the defender/winger pair. Almost no MU full-back meets the very specific requirements of playing in a 3-4-3 formation. This makes MU reveal a quite obvious weakness in the early stages of Amorim's leadership: weak defense.

Defense is always an important foundation of any style of play. This is especially important for teams that have just changed managers, and (of course) changed their overall style of play. In fact, MU's finishing has not improved at all in the current period. But that is not the decisive weakness.

In terms of the formation, Amorim currently does not have a suitable defender/winger to deploy the 3-4-3 style of play. Tactically, MU has almost no countermeasure when it comes to defending set pieces. They continuously lose because of corner kicks. In just 6 matches, Amorim's MU has conceded 7 goals from set pieces. Before the ball rolls, MU often spends part of the warm-up time practicing defending set pieces (the whole team stands in the 16.50 m area and practices defending high balls), but to no avail!

The story might be different if MU buys players suitable for coach Amorim's playing style (especially defenders/wingers) in the coming January. But in principle, Amorim is only a head coach, not allowed to choose players like a manager. Above Amorim, there are 5-6 people involved in the transfer process. The team's management and organization do not seem to be very promising for Amorim to be able to confidently develop his abilities.
