Rúben Amorim is jumping right in at Manchester United! Just a week in, the Portuguese manager is already checking out the squad, figuring out who fits his style and who might have a tough time adjusting.
The former Sporting Lisbon coach, famous for his lively 3-4-3 setup and high-energy play, is a bit surprised by how slow United’s training sessions have been. He’s been pushing his players to pick up the pace as he tries to bring in his signature style. With the squad feeling a bit too big, Amorim is looking to make quick changes at Carrington.
His game plan is super important to his vision for the club, and his team is working hard to teach the players his system with drills and demos. But he’s already decided that some players just won’t fit into his plans, which could shake things up in the January transfer
window.

His first match in charge is against Ipswich Town on Sunday, and it’ll give us a sneak peek at the new-look United. Even though the team is stuck in the lower half of the Premier League after a rough start, Amorim sees a lot of potential in his squad. He’s impressed by some players and thinks the league standings don’t show the real talent he has.
But United’s problems go deeper than just their current form. Since Sir Alex Ferguson retired in 2013, the club hasn’t found its winning edge again. Amorim has been pretty straightforward, telling his players they’ve been “living in Sir Alex Ferguson’s shadow” instead of using his legacy to inspire them.
A club insider shared: “He told them that top managers haven’t matched Sir Alex’s success because they’ve lived in his shadow, instead of getting their team to play with his spirit.”
With Amorim’s fresh take and no-nonsense style, United fans are hoping this is the start of a long-awaited comeback!
