Manchester United face urgent dilemma: ditch Amorim or revamp the squad | Jonathan Wilson
Briefly

The situation at Manchester United is dire as they struggle to find a manager whose philosophy aligns with their squad's capabilities. Unlike Tottenham, who adapted swiftly under a new coach, United's lengthy managerial upheaval has left them with a disjointed team. Ruben Amorim's rigid adherence to the 3-4-2-1 formation clashes with a squad that lacks the necessary skills for such a style. Recent performances, especially in the Europa League, highlight their reliance on isolated moments and opponent errors, further illustrating the disconnect between management decisions and team performance.
The bleak reality for Manchester United is underlined by the stark recognition that their squad is not compatible with the preferred style of new manager Ruben Amorim.
Despite a majority possession, the team's reliance on individual moments of brilliance rather than cohesive play reveals deeper issues plaguing the squad and management.
The past decade of Manchester United's management has resulted in a squad lacking any coherent strategy or plan, making it hard to identify a manageable playing style.
The contrasting fortunes of Tottenham, who have appointed a compatible manager and are succeeding, only highlight the failures in United’s management decisions over the years.
