Rúben Amorim took over as Manchester United manager in November, succeeding Erik ten Hag, but his tenure has yet to deliver the expected turnaround at Old Trafford. The former Sporting CP boss remains committed to his preferred 3-4-3 formation, despite ongoing struggles from his squad to adapt to the system. According to the Daily Mail, some players have begun discussing the situation among themselves and questioning whether a tactical shift might be necessary to improve results.
Growing Concerns in the Dressing Room
Reports suggest that discontent is growing within the squad, with some members believing that United will struggle to progress unless Amorim shows more flexibility in his approach. However, the Portuguese manager has already dismissed the idea of making changes, insisting that “there is no second way.” Club legend Gary Neville has also hinted that sticking rigidly to the system may backfire, as continued losses will only make it harder to convince players to buy into Amorim’s vision.

Since Amorim’s arrival, United have suffered eight defeats in 20 matches, raising concerns about the club’s trajectory under his leadership.
What’s Next for United?
Manchester United will look to turn their fortunes around when they face Tottenham in the Premier League on Sunday. Spurs, led by Ange Postecoglou, are also enduring a rough patch and currently sit one place below United in the league standings. Both teams will be desperate for a victory to relieve the mounting pressure on their managers.
