Coach Amorim wants MU to combine attacks with long balls and strong throw-ins when near the opponent's goal, after witnessing recent changes in Everton, Man City or Thomas Tuchel's England team.
Ahead of today's trip to Liverpool, the Portuguese coach said: "We have very strong players up front.
If they get the second ball, MU can take advantage and increase their chances of scoring. Against Liverpool, the whole team needs to play more aggressively.
Whenever the ball comes into the goalkeeper's possession, most teams play 1 vs 1, but sometimes you don't see anyone to pass the ball to.
Senne Lammens is good with both feet. So it's harder for teams to put pressure on the goalkeeper from one side. He has to be ready all the time."
The number of goals from set pieces in the Premier League has increased this season, with the number of long throw-ins also doubling per game.
Many clubs also tend to pass less and move the ball forward quickly and directly. And 48.4% of kick-offs end in the opponent's half.
Ruben Amorim tested a new tactic in the 2-0 win over Sunderland, with Diogo Dalot taking long throw-ins into the box.
