Manchester United fans are preparing for Ruben Amorim’s first game in charge and there is plenty of excitement building.
There is hope for change with the new head coach expected to implement a 3-4-3 system. This would be something new and we’ve yet to find out whether he’ll have any success with it.
INEOS decided they wanted a change and that is what they are going to get. Amorim has said pretty much that in his media duties since arriving in Manchester.
United are currently sat in the bottom half of the table, but a win over Ipswich Town could see us jump from 12th to 10th. It feels like a long climb to fourth after such a slow start to the season.
Amorim has pulled no punches since arriving by warning his new squad that he can be “ruthless” so they can expect to be punished – in some form – if standards slip.
Speaking to the media ahead of the match against Ipswich Town, the 39-year-old told reporters (as per the Manchester Evening News): “You can be the same person.
“Be a positive person that can understand this is one place to be, then there is the dressing room, there are some places to have fun, there are some places to work hard.
“So, I can be ruthless when I have to be. If you think as a team, I will be the nicest guy you have ever seen. If there is someone just thinking about himself, I will be a different person.
“I’m not that type of guy that wants to show that he is the boss. They will feel it in the small details, that I can be the smiling one but then when we have a job to do I will be a different person, and they understand that.”

It’s a fresh start and a lot of us don’t fully know what to expect.
United go into the game at Ipswich Town as favourites, expected to take all three points, but fans will want to see Amorim’s side achieve that with a convincing performance.
A 16-year-old centre-back, standing at 6ft 5in, could be called up to the senior matchday for the first time after impressing in training.
Amorim hasn’t had a lot of time to work with his squad due to internationals and only taking training from Monday.
Get the job done, Reds.
