Ruben Amorim drops major hint on big tactical change at Manchester United | OneFootball

Amorim will only have a limited number of Man United players to work with over the next ten days

The 39-year-old Portuguese sets to work as the Red Devils’ new head coach on Monday, having beaten Braga 4-2 in his final game as Sporting Lisbon boss on Sunday.

Amorim adopted a 3-4-3 system at Sporting, who he led to two Portuguese league titles, and he has now hinted at opting for the same formation at United.

His first match in charge will be an away trip to Ipswich Town in the Premier League on Sunday, November 24, following the international break.

Speaking after his final game in Lisbon, Amorim said: “I know how I am going to play in the beginning, because you have to start with a structure that you know.

“Then you will adapt with the players that you have, some injuries, or no injuries, what kind of players have the abilities to defend, attack — I will discover that in the next few weeks.

During the international break, Amorim will work with a small number of first-team players at Carrington, with many due to travel away with their national teams.
