The big day for Ruben Amorim. This Monday, he officially started as Manchester United coach by leading his first training session. And for the English press, there is no doubt, he will quickly put in place his 3-4-3 which worked well for Sporting CP. His first steps were spied on, as were his first interactions with his players. He says, for example, that he intends to relaunch Mason Mount, or that the young Kobbie Mainoo and Leny Yoro, soon to return, will be the basis of his project.
We cannot advise him enough to make do with what he has at hand. Because according to information from Telegraphthe management of Manchester United has decided to reduce costs drastically. In the space of two and a half years, the previous coach Erik ten Hag spent nearly €700 million on the transfer market, for players who did not reveal their full potential (Hojlund, Antony, Zirkzee, etc.) . Ruben Amorim’s first objective is therefore to exploit the material available.
No room for maneuver
It must be said that Manchester United already spent a lot last summer, with the purchases of Yoro, De Ligt, Mazraoui, Zirkzee and Ugarte. It was also necessary to pay Ten Hag’s severance pay and then Ruben Amorim’s release clause at Sporting. By spending to put Manchester United back at the top of the rankings, managers have increased losses, and must be careful not to get into difficulty with the PSR (profit and sustainability rules), English financial fair play.
Manchester United are only 13th in the Premier League, and have no certainty about future qualification for the Champions League, which will be Ruben Amorim’s objective. He should not have the opportunity to recruit massively in January, while several of his former Sporting foals are announced in the viewfinder (Gyökeres, Quenda). It won’t be right away. On the other hand, with the departures of players at the end of their contracts (Eriksen, Lindelof, Evans) and the sales, he should be able to shape his team next summer.
