Several players of Manchester United would question the 3-4-3 scheme of Ruben Amorim, while the team has accumulated the counter-performance since the arrival of the Portuguese coach in November 2024. Despite an encouraging European campaign, the Red Devils sink in the Premier League (13ᵉ), at 12 points both relegation and top 5.

The AMORIM's assessment in the league is alarming: 14 points in 13 games (4 wins, 2 draws, 7 losses), including 5 setbacks at home – a negative record for the club. The defense, undermined by the absences of Lisandro Martínez (serious injury) and Luke Shaw, conceded 26 goals in 21 games in all competitions, with a single clean Sheet in 11 PL games.

Amorim always has the support of the Mancunian board

If the Europa League (4 wins in 4 games) and the FA Cup (qualification against Arsenal) offer a semblance of respite, doubts persist. According to The Mail, players judge the 3-4-3 “too rigid” and claim more flexibility. A criticism relayed by Gary Neville: ” Its tactical stubbornness recalls the worst post-ferguson errors. »»

Amorim himself recognized the magnitude of the crisis: “We may be the worst team in the history of United. »»

Despite the pressure, the direction of the Red Devils maintains its confidence in the project “Mission 21”, aimed at bringing a 21ᵉ title of the Premier League. But with 8 defeats in 20 games on Amorim and impatient supporters, the technician will have to find a balance between his vision and the realities of the locker room. The rest of the season, especially in the Europa League, could seal his destiny.
