(4-2-3-1) New Man United formation Under Joachim Low – As INEOS plans to announce shocking arrival if they fails to meet up Ruben Amorim demands TODAY

Manchester United are actively working on a plan to bring in Sporting Lisbon manager Ruben Amorim as their new head coach. Following the recent sacking of Erik ten Hag, who was dismissed less than a day after United’s 2-1 loss to West Ham, the club is pursuing Amorim, hoping he could be the fresh start they need.

Reports from the Manchester Evening News indicate that United and Amorim have a preliminary agreement, though discussions are ongoing to finalize a compensation package with Sporting Lisbon. If the deal goes through, Amorim would become United’s sixth permanent manager since Sir Alex Ferguson’s departure over a decade ago. His arrival could bring not just a new face to the sidelines but a potential shift in United’s playing style as well.

Amorim is known for his tactical success in Portugal, where he’s preferred a 3-4-3 formation that emphasizes the use of wing-backs. This formation provides a balance between strong defensive coverage and attacking support, with the wing-backs expected to play a dual role—dropping back to form a five-man defense during opposition attacks and pushing forward to create width and assist offensively when in possession. While this system could potentially benefit United, the squad would first need time to adjust, especially with limited options for left-sided defenders. However, once the full roster is fit and available, Amorim’s setup might be well-suited to United’s long-term goals.

In goal, Andre Onana has shown steady improvement since joining from Inter Milan in 2023 and has been United’s first-choice goalkeeper, appearing in all but one game this season. Known for his impressive shot-stopping, Onana also brings ball-playing abilities that were instrumental in his signing as a replacement for David de Gea. A recent match against Fenerbahce saw him make a remarkable double save, further proving his potential.

Under Amorim’s 3-4-3 system, United’s defense would likely feature three center-backs, a role that the club’s recent signings, such as Leny Yoro from Lille and Matthijs de Ligt from Bayern Munich, could fulfill. De Ligt, though inconsistent so far, has the experience and skill to anchor the backline. Meanwhile, Yoro, despite an injury setback, is seen as a promising talent with the potential to become a core part of the lineup once he returns, possibly by November. Lisandro Martinez, along with De Ligt and Yoro, could form a strong defensive trio under Amorim’s guidance.

The midfield would see Bruno Fernandes, the club captain, maintain a key position. Known for his creative play and ability to turn matches around with individual brilliance, Fernandes has had a somewhat uneven season. Nonetheless, Amorim would likely work on drawing the best out of him to increase United’s playmaking abilities.

In attack, the front line could resemble the one seen in Ten Hag’s last game, with Rasmus Hojlund as the central striker. The dynamic duo of Alejandro Garnacho and Marcus Rashford would flank him on either side, bringing speed and finishing power. Rashford and Garnacho’s ability to exploit spaces and Hojlund’s presence as a target man could make for a potent attacking lineup.

A potential starting eleven under Amorim might include: Onana in goal; a back three of Yoro, De Ligt, and Martinez; Dalot and Mazraoui as wing-backs; a central midfield anchored by Mainoo and Fernandes; and a forward line featuring Rashford, Hojlund, and Garnacho. This lineup would blend experience with young, rising talents, giving United a balanced team equipped for a fresh tactical approach.

As United navigates these managerial changes, fans can expect an exciting, if challenging, period of adjustment.
