"Manchester United are currently in the bottom half of the Premier League, where they also finished last season. Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim defended his tactical approach, insisting his much-criticised 3-4-2-1 system is not to blame for the team's struggles as he prepares for his 50th game in charge against promoted Sunderland. The Portuguese faces mounting pressure after United slumped to 14th in the Premier League with two wins from six games"
"I am not saying this team would play better in another system or not, that is not my point. My point is that if I look back at the games we lost, the most important thing when I watch the game is not that we lost because of the system. That is my opinion. People have different opinions, that s OK."
"While United's squad are still coming to terms with Amorim's philosophy, the manager admitted his side's performance at Brentford was disjointed' but argued that inconsistency rather than tactics was the root problem. You cannot say one thing that doesn't work when it works on one weekend and on the other weekend it doesn't work. When something doesn't work, it doesn't work every day, he added."
Manchester United sit in the bottom half of the Premier League, repeating last season's low position. Ruben Amorim defended his 3-4-2-1 tactical system, stating it is not responsible for the team's poor results as he prepares for his 50th game in charge against Sunderland. United have won two of six league games and slipped to 14th after a 3-1 loss at Brentford. The club already exited the League Cup and missed European qualification after finishing 15th last season, leaving them eight points behind leaders Liverpool. Amorim blamed inconsistency and uneven execution rather than the system and called for more consistent implementation.
