Big changes? Carrick went back to the system United played with Ferguson and post him. He didn’t reinvented the wheel.
Carrick just implemented the 4231, a system where the players feel comfortable, the one they played for so much time and the one he likes to use as a coach.
United wasn’t ready to play 3421 or a 3 at the back system, and this should be on @OmarBerrada and Radcliffe. They decided to hire Amorim even if they knew this team is not ready for a change of system, doesn’t have the players for this system and they don’t have the money to make the necessary updates to the squad.
By all means Ruben Amorim was a failure at United, but not because of him, because of the board who randomly decided to hire him during the season, with no money to invest and no plan to back him 👍🏻

Mainoo behind a narrow front 3 of Cunha, Bruno, and Mbeumo is heavenly.
Amad drifting in from the right too.
I just know Amorim is watching this and thinking ‘I played the same 3-2-5 high’, but he’s deluding himself.
Back 4 build. Back 4 press. Back 4 block.
Big, big changes.
🚨🗣️ @lauriewhitwell on alternative midfield targets to Mateus Fernandes:
"There might be players you’ve not heard of that come into, like with Lammens.
[…] Ive heard other names around United in the midfield area. They’re not as exciting as the ones we’ve heard before, but they’ve got a list of targets."
[@TOTDevils]
What is wrong with this guy? Didn’t they wanted him exactly because he wasn’t changing his philosophy when it was hard / not working as we wanted?
Didn’t he knew this before he went to Lisbon to pay his release clause?
@OmarBerrada the same you fired Amorim because he wasn’t flexible, the same will happen to you if you won’t be flexible in the transfer window and strengthen the team. It’s a matter of time ⏳

CEO Omar Berrada described former #mufc head coach Ruben Amorim’s biggest flaw as “rigidity” during the Financial Times Weekend Festival last week:
“Not tactics or talent. Rigidity. The coach came in mid-season with no pre-season to prepare, and under constant scrutiny, he held onto his ideas too tightly at exactly the point when adapting mattered most.”

Let’s put this narative down to bed : there are a few players who are United fans from the early age who want to play for us.
The rest of them should be sold the project and we need to make them want to play for us. Not by giving them a lot of money, but you need to make them feel important, sell them the project, Champions League, new stadium + one of the most important aspects : the coach.
If we only wait for players who would like to play for us to tell us “sign me”, we won’t do anything.
#MUFC
I find it funny that Amorim haters are saying that he had no word on the transfers we did last summer, that Cunha and Mbeumo did not speak to him before they signed for us but when it comes to Mainoo, it was him who decided that Mainoo should leave and we should accept as low as 40m for him 😭

It’s so obvious he can’t say anything bad about them, he interviewed Berrada, he appears in the YouTube videos of the club, he is getting his info from the club but he can only release the good things about the club. But you can’t really judge him, his doing this for so many years, he’s so close to the club, he can’t come out and throw shit at INEOS and the rest.
For clarity/accuracy: Manchester City deal for Elliot Anderson is a club record by some distance (eclipsing £100m for Jack Grealish) but total fee is not a British record. Transfer is all cash up front with no bonuses and was agreed this evening
#mufc understand that Mateus Fernandes wants to join the club. He would play for Tottenham, but he’d prefer United. West Ham want an auction for Fernandes [@AndyMitten, @TOTDevils]
Amorim’s last act at United was going public about the board undermining him&
Most managers stay quiet to protect their payoff. He didn’t. He said exactly what was wrong with the club which is the board and then got sacked for it. Now, you lot are complaining about same INEOS
@PaddyKeoghAF One interesting aspect from your post is that Spurs mentioned their stadium in the proposal, which is an important factor when you try to sign important players, and then I remember our fans don’t want a new stadium and they are happy with the current one, which says a lot.
Nobody would've been happier than Fabrizio Romano to see his fave PR pay day Jonathan David score again after his performance vs Qatar last time out.

Tuchel is the second coach in the last year who doesn’t blindly play Mainoo just because of his talent - this should raise a question to Mainoo, not to the coaches, or he will come out and say he won’t come to the national team until England will have a coach who will play him?
