Ruben Amorim, the newly appointed manager of Manchester United, has a clear playing style in mind for the team. He was brought in as a replacement for Erik ten Hag and will be taking charge of the team for the first time in their upcoming game against Ipswich. Amorim has previously led Sporting to two league titles and is now tasked with implementing his vision at United.
Amorim has praised Ten Hag for his work at Ajax before joining United and believes that he had built the best two teams outside the top five leagues. However, he also acknowledges that there were criticisms directed towards Ten Hag during his final year at United, particularly about the lack of a clear playing style. Amorim, on the other hand, has a clear idea of what he wants to do and is confident that it will lead to success.
In an interview with Gary Neville for Sky Sports, Amorim explained his approach and where his confidence comes from. He follows not only the games but also the work of other coaches, which has given him the knowledge that success is possible. He believes that with one idea and one identity, the team can achieve great things. This idea involves every player having the same understanding and approach to the game, whether they have the ball or not.
Amorim's focus since taking over from Ten Hag has been on ball retention. He believes that the team was losing possession too quickly and that affected their ability to press high. This week, the team has been working on improving their ball retention, which will ultimately allow them to press higher and better. Amorim sees this as a connected process, where one aspect affects the other, like a snowball effect.
The new manager is confident in his strategy and believes that it will bring success to Manchester United. He is aware that things can go wrong, but he is comfortable because he knows the steps to take. Amorim's approach is simple yet effective, and he hopes that his team can understand and execute it on the field. With his one idea and one identity, Amorim is determined to make Manchester United a force to be reckoned with.
