Reporter: If Amorin insists that 343 will lose his job, I think he will be dismissed before Christmas
Due to poor record, Amorin is under increasing pressure as Manchester United coach. Two ESPN reporters Mark Ogden and Rob Dawson, who have been reporting on Manchester United for many years, discussed the dilemma of coaches and the team.
Talking about whether Amorin manages the team's lineup correctly
Ogden: Absolutely, Amorin relies too much on some players in selecting people and ignores others, which makes his job difficult and affects the team. Goalkeeper Heaton's steady performance in the preseason was a reassurance for the team, but Amorin has not given him any chance in the new season. Although he is 39 years old, Heaton has not played for more than three years, but his experience may play a very critical role at the beginning of the season. However, Amorin kept him on the bench. In the midfield, Menu deserves more opportunities, especially considering that Casemiro and Ugat's performance is not enough to keep them at the start. In addition, Sheshko should also be reused from the beginning, rather than slowly integrating into the team as it is now. I understand Amorin tried to take responsibility to protect the team, but this could put the players in comfort and think that there will always be someone who will take responsibility for them. In many ways, Amorin is in a dilemma. He didn't want to rely too much on Lukeshaw and Mount because they were often injured. But as head coach, Amorin must do everything he can to get the team running, and it seems he hasn't done that at the moment.
Dawson: I think Amorin still does the right thing, and he, like many Manchester United coaches, is trying to reshape the team's culture. Rashford and Garnacho are both talented players, but if Amorin and his team are to successfully develop team spirit, they have to leave. The atmosphere for the team was great during the preseason, which was especially rare after such a bad season. Amorin is also working to keep the locker room supported, which is a difficult thing to do when the team is not doing well.
Amorin could have criticized some players after losing to Manchester City, but he didn't do so. Instead, he focused on his own shortcomings and the team as a whole. However, this also means that he has become a target of criticism, along with his tactical system. Under tremendous pressure, Amorin still tried his best to maintain the team's cohesion. But at the end of the day, unless he can start winning more games, that doesn't make sense.
Is Manchester United helping Amorin? Are the new players excellent enough?
Ogden: Manchester United paid a heavy price for giving the head coach too much transfer decision-making power, especially Tenhamhe and Van Gaal, so Amorin could not get the same degree of freedom, and the club now has more balance in signings. Amorin did get support, especially when dealing with Rashford and Garnacho. But Amorin also hopes to introduce an experienced goalkeeper this summer, his first choice is Martin, but Manchester United failed to achieve this goal and signed 23-year-old Lamons.
midfielder signings did not receive enough attention, and this position was weaker than last season. Does Manchester United really need to spend 200 million pounds to sign three strikers? They paid a premium transfer fee for Cunya, Mbermo and Sheshko. If the decision is wiser, Benke will save about £40 million. Can't shelve one of the deals and introduce a midfielder to allow Amorin to challenge and improve the performance of existing players? And are the new players good enough? Since Ineos took over Manchester United's football operations, the team's signing records have been uneven. Yoro, Mazlawi, Mbermo and Cunya all look good signings, and the performance of Sheshko and Dricht remains to be seen. As for Dogu and Zilkize, they all show that there are risks in signing from the Serie A mid-range team.
Dawson: Some people criticized Amorin for spending 250 million pounds on new players, but in fact this statement is not accurate. Manchester United has indeed spent nearly £250 million to sign ups since he took office, but none of these players were chosen by him alone. The player transfer is completed by a team, with football director Wilcox and recruitment director Vivier both involved, as well as support from the scouting department and the data team. Amorin does have a say, but he is by no means the only decision-maker. Tenhah also had to compromise during his term, and so did Amorin. Some sources said that he was satisfied with some signings, and some were not that satisfied. Manchester United introduced three attackers this summer. This decision was based on data analysis, but this has led to an imbalance in the current lineup, with the team's No. 10 players in the team, lacking a strong midfielder, and three No. 2 goalkeepers.
Talking about tactical issues
Ogden: If Amorin insists on using 343, it will make him lose his job. This set obviously won't work. There is no reason to believe that it will work suddenly. After all, these players have not adapted after playing for 10 months. It's not Amorin's fault, as most of his players are adapting to the system of the former coach, but Amorin should have realized this a few months ago and changed the formation to fit the existing players. Sorry, top coaches shouldn’t have only one tactical system.
Dawson: But the actual adjustment of Amorin has passed, the team has been practicing 343 throughout the preseason, and now the change will be seen as a weak performance by the locker room. For those attending Amorin's press conference every week, it can be clearly felt that he is becoming increasingly impatient with the question about formation. This is understandable. When Manchester United performed well against Arsenal, no one questioned his tactical system. The game lost to Manchester City is more of a personal defensive mistake than a tactical failure. We should note that these people have failed in Tenghach's system. If the players are not good enough, then any system and formation will be useless..
On Amorin's appointment
Ogden: Manchester United CEO Berrada led the recruitment of Amorin, so he must answer the following questions: Have you discussed and questioned Amorin's tactical concepts? Do you think a young coach with only one style of play can be competent for the job of Manchester United coach? Have you ever asked Amorin for an alternative? If the answer is no, then Bellada obviously did not do due diligence. If the answer is yes, then Bellada will have to face questions from the Ratcliff and the Glazer family. I still can't understand why I hired a coach with only one way of playing?
Should Amorin leave or stay?
Ogden: 8 wins in 31 Premier League games, lost in the Europa League final, and was eliminated by the League Two team in the League Cup. Unless Amorin changes his tactics, such a bad record is unacceptable. The question is whether Manchester United can take decisive action or waste another season. It has been almost a year since Amorin took over the team, and I don't think the situation has improved, I think he will be dismissed before Christmas.
Dawson: Although Amorin's record is poor, I still support him to stay. He almost started leading the team from Manchester United's lowest point, which takes time.
