Manchester United’s defence is under scrutiny as doubts emerge over Ruben Amorim’s tactical setup. The Portuguese manager has implemented a back-three system, which has proven difficult for United’s squad to adjust to, leading to defensive instability and struggles in attack.
Despite calls for a tactical shift, former United defender Gary Pallister believes Amorim should stick to his philosophy, emphasizing that “good players can play in any system.” He suggested that Lisandro Martinez could provide balance in a back three, while a faster centre-back may be needed on the right.
With United sitting 14th in the Premier League, Amorim has time to refine his approach before next season. However, with limited funds and the need for a prolific No.9, recruitment will be crucial in shaping his long-term success at Old Trafford.
