Amorim can manage the big egos inside Utd dressing room ? if no, he's certain to fail.

Amorim looks like Fernandes twin.

Someone should paste this on Jonny Evan's locker. Amorim is the guy with his hands on his head.

How might Man Utd line up under Amorim?​

As Manchester United supporters prepare to welcome a highly-rated and talented coach from outside of Europe's 'big five' leagues who has analysts swooning, they may be worried that it all sounds a bit familiar.

But in Ruben Amorim, they can be certain that in one crucial aspect he won't be anything like Erik ten Hag.

Amorim, who is set to leave Portuguese champions Sporting to move to Old Trafford, is nothing if not a diligent - and decisive - tactical thinker.

From a ruthless press to proactive possession football, from a daring high line to a complexly shape-shifting 3-4-3 formation, the hallmarks of Amorim's football will be etched into muscle memory in detailed training sessions.

And there will be valid concerns. Most prominent will be how a Manchester United squad built in Ten Hag's image will cope with the change to a back three and a tactical system entirely at odds with what came before. It won't suit everyone.

The wing-backs play a crucial attacking role in Amorim teams, stretching the play to allow the wingers to drift infield and get tight to the striker.

Amorim's wingers, who sit just behind the striker to form a box shape with the two central midfielders, tend to be direct runners capable of pressing hard and weaving their way through the lines in the transition.

Amorim is more than willing to alter his tactical set-up to suit the strengths and limitations of his players, suggesting that even those players who don't look like an obvious fit could find a manager willing to bend for now... well apart from three at the back.

Guess how long RA can he coach MU.

 

[red amoeba]

if he does well, he will be poached by Real Madrid.
Otherwise, he will get the pink slip.
