"Ruben Amorim has faced increasing scrutiny over his tactics during a difficult 11 months in charge of Manchester United. The United boss has refused to deviate from his favoured 3-4-2-1 formation since arriving at Old Trafford, despite a string of calamitous results. Red Devils stars have reportedly been left 'confused' and 'frustrated' by Amorim's tactical inflexibility, but the Portuguese may have now found a way to make the formation better suit his players."
"United's formation listed Mount and Bryan Mbeumo as the two No.10s behind Sesko, but Mbeumo played notably closer to the Slovenian striker than in previous games - with fellow summer signing Matheus Cunha doing the same when he replaced Mount in the second half. He [Amorim] simplified the game for the players and Mbeumo was getting a lot closer to Sesko, which really helped Manchester United."
Ruben Amorim endured growing scrutiny during an 11-month spell at Manchester United while sticking with a favoured 3-4-2-1 formation that reportedly left players confused and frustrated. Amorim has 19 wins from his first 50 games but delivered a 2-0 victory over Sunderland, with goals from Mason Mount and Benjamin Sesko. In that match Mount and Bryan Mbeumo were listed as the two No.10s but Mbeumo played notably closer to Sesko, and Matheus Cunha mirrored that movement when introduced. The closer attacking linkage unsettled Sunderland early and created space for Amad Diallo to attack.
