Manchester United can’t do it. Before challenging Liverpool, this Sunday as part of the 20th day of the Premier League, the Red Devils remain in fact on four consecutive defeats against Tottenham (4-3), Bournemouth (3-0), Wolverhampton (2-0) and Newcastle (2-0). An infernal spiral despite the recent arrival of Ruben Amorim from Sporting CP. Now at the head of the Mancunian team, the Portuguese technician still does not seem to find the right formula to revive a group in crisis of confidence. But that’s not all. In addition to tactical and purely sporting considerations, the new architect of the Red Devils must also manage some internal tensions.

Everything is on the line when we analyze and try to pick players. So here is my selection. Simple”had for his part justified the new coach of the Mancuniens.
For their part, the 20-year-old’s representatives denied he had been disrespectful and attributed it to a misunderstanding while Manchester United refused to comment on the episode. English sources even add that there is no gap (yet) between the two men and that Garnacho has not been excluded. However, doubts are growing around the Madrid native, and in particular about his ability to find a place in Amorim’s 3-4-3, which has established demanding standards for players since his arrival. After this first clash, the man who has scored 8 goals and delivered 4 goals in 28 matches this season but who has not started as a starter for four matches will therefore have to regain the confidence of his coach…
