Ruben Amorim remains steadfast in his tactical approach at Manchester United, despite whispers among some players about possible tweaks to his system. The Portuguese manager has faced mounting pressure following a disappointing run of form, with United suffering six defeats in their last ten Premier League outings, including five losses in their past six home matches at Old Trafford. Amid these struggles, reports suggest that a few players have privately discussed whether subtle changes could improve the team’s performances. Since taking the reins, Amorim has remained committed to the 3-4-3 setup that previously earned him success at Sporting Lisbon. While there is no clear sign of discontent in the dressing room, not everyone may be fully convinced by his unyielding stance. Despite the team’s difficulties, he has made it clear that he will not deviate from his tactical vision. Back in December, he reinforced his belief in his philosophy, stating that a coach must make a choice and stand by it. He acknowledged the risks but insisted that both he and his players must fully embrace the approach without an alternative strategy. His unwavering commitment comes shortly after club legend Gary Neville expressed concerns about the potential impact of continued losses. Neville warned that if results fail to improve, players may begin to doubt Amorim’s methods, making it increasingly difficult to keep the squad united behind his philosophy. The question now is whether Amorim should hold firm or introduce tactical adjustments to better navigate the challenges of the Premier League.
