Amorim Explains Man Utd Formation Shift: 'Not Media Pressure, Time Was Right'

  • Ruben Amorim changed Manchester United's formation from a back three to a back four against Newcastle.
  • The tactical shift resulted in a 1-0 victory and only the Red Devils' second clean sheet of the season.
  • Amorim clarified the change was due to the 'right time' and not media pressure, stating such pressure could end a manager's career.
  • He noted that he initially lacked players for his preferred system but now it's a 'different moment' for adaptation.
  • Key players like Bruno Fernandes (injury) and others (AFCON) are currently unavailable, impacting team selection.

Why It Matters: Amorim adapted Man Utd's formation for tactical reasons, not media influence, leading to a win.
