Manchester United: Ruben Amorim’s first sharp choices

Since the departure of Sir Alex Ferguson, Manchester United have never really managed to find a coach capable of succeeding him in the long term. The prestigious names followed one another on the Mancunian bench, without much success. But the residents of Old Trafford hope to have finally bet on the right horse with Ruben Amorim. The 39-year-old Portuguese is considered one of the most promising and talented coaches of the new generation. After having cut his teeth at Sporting CP, he will try to continue his crazy rise with a club of a higher caliber. Yesterday he spent his first full day at the Carrington training center.

THE Telegraph indicates that he has held meetings with the technical staff, which will be made up of Eduardo Rosalino, Emanuel Ferro, Carlos Fernandes, Adelio Candido, Paulo Barreira and Jorge Vital. Amorim, who is currently staying at the hotel while waiting to find a house, has already met some of his new players, those who were not called up for selection this month. The one who succeeded Erik ten Hag thus exchanged with Kobbie Mainoo and Leny Yoro, who are returning from injury. The three men were smiling according to the Daily Mail. Ditto for Toby Collyer, Luke Shaw and Mason Mount, who shared a moment of complicity with their new coach. Moreover, the former Chelsea man was seen taking Amorim in his arms.

Amorim has a plan in mind

And Mount can be happy. The Sun reveals that Manchester United’s new strongman relies a lot on him. He even wants to place him at the center of his plans, he who a priori intends to bet on a 3-4-3. According to the English media, Ruben Amorim has indicated that he wants to put Mason Mount in the best conditions and that he will be an important player for him in the future. The Portuguese appreciates his versatility and believes that he can fit perfectly into the pattern of play that he intends to introduce at Manchester United. Good news for the Englishman, who has fully returned to training after his injury and who should therefore take his place on the right wing.

Very motivated, the former Chelsea player is working hard to find a place in the eleven which will start against Ipswich Town, on the occasion of Amorim’s first on the Mancunian bench. If he is ever ready physically, he could have his chance. In addition to Mount, the Lusitanian technician will soon be able to count on the return of Tyrell Malacia, who resumed with the MU U21s after his injury. Ditto for Luke Shaw. Enough to offer new perspectives to Amorim at the left-back position. On the other hand, the new coach has already opened the door to a departure from Joshua Zirkzee. Concerning Harry Maguire, Manchester United are not against his departure. But the latter wants to relaunch under the orders of Amorim, who will count on De Ligt, Lisandro Martinez and Yoro. A new era begins in Manchester.
