Analyzing MU's strongest lineup under Amorim
Ruben Amorim, the Portuguese coach of MU, is in the process of building and perfecting his strongest squad.
After a challenging start, Amorim has guided the team through some important games, including wins against Bodo/Glimt and Everton, a draw with Ipswich Town and a defeat at Arsenal. Despite inconsistent results, Amorim has shown tactical savvy and versatility in his team selection.
1. Player rotation policy
One of the highlights of Amorim’s coaching method is his strategy of rotating players. This not only helps to reduce the pressure on players after injuries but also helps him find the most effective combinations for each match. Especially after a difficult season with many injuries, Amorim is trying to build a flexible squad that can change according to the needs of each opponent.
2. Defense: Create solidity with three central defenders
With the goal of building a strong team, Amorim will not be without important names in defense. Andre Onana, the excellent goalkeeper, continues to be the number one choice in goal. In the center of the defense, the trio of Leny Yoro, Matthijs de Ligt and Lisandro Martinez will be important pillars. Yoro, despite his young age, has proven his mettle in big matches, while De Ligt and Martinez bring solidity and high competitiveness. This combination promises to be a formidable defense for Man United if they maintain stable performance.
3. Wings and midfield: Flexibility and creativity
On the wings, Amad Diallo and Noussair Mazraoui have been trusted by Amorim, thanks to their pace and ability to support attacks. Both players are not only good at joining in attacks but can also defend very well, which will help the team maintain balance in the game.
Man United's midfield is also promising with Kobbie Mainoo and Manuel Ugarte. Mainoo has just returned from injury and will form a solid central midfield partnership with Ugarte, who has enjoyed some very successful seasons at Sporting CP. The duo can combine strength, creativity and defensive ability, giving Man United a
greater versatility and control of the game. Bruno Fernandes will continue to play a role in regulating the play, acting as the conductor in the formation and ensuring accurate distribution of the ball to the attackers.
4. Attack: The battle between Hojlund and Garnacho
Up front, Marcus Rashford is slowly finding his form and will be one of Amorim’s key players. However, deciding between Rasmus Hojlund and Alejandro Garnacho for the striker position will be a big challenge for the Portuguese coach. Hojlund, with his strong physique and excellent aerial ability, is likely to play as a striker, while Rashford will maintain his familiar role on the left wing.
Although Garnacho has the ability to create breakthroughs and speed, he still needs to improve his finishing ability to compete for a regular position. This decision by Amorim will depend on the style of play he wants to apply, as well as the tactical requirements for each match.
Overall, the strongest squad that Ruben Amorim is building for Manchester United has a combination of versatility and stability. With key players like Onana, Yoro, De Ligt, Martinez, Mainoo, Ugarte, Fernandes, Rashford and Garnacho, Man United can expect a team capable of competing in the big arenas.
Despite the challenges ahead, Amorim has begun to build a solid team, with the aim of maintaining flexibility and creativity in the playing style. If stability can be maintained and the potential of the players can be maximized, Man United under Amorim can become a strong team in the near future.
