De Ligt recently joined Manchester United from Bayern Munich and it has been a topic of discussion since former United player Jaap Stam believes that De Ligt will have a bright future under the new manager, Ruben Amorim. However, Stam also warns that there may be some doubts surrounding the new manager's abilities.
After parting ways with their previous manager, Erik ten Hag, United has quickly secured the services of Sporting Lisbon's head coach with a two-and-a-half year contract. Amorim is highly regarded as one of the best young coaches in European football, having won two league titles with Sporting and developing his own unique style of play.
However, his imminent arrival has raised questions about the future of some of United's current players, especially those who were specifically targeted by Ten Hag. One of them is De Ligt, whose decision to join United was greatly influenced by Ten Hag, with whom he had previously experienced success at Ajax.
Despite a difficult start to his United career, Dutch legend Stam believes that De Ligt has nothing to worry about under Amorim's management, as the coach favors a system with three at the back in which De Ligt could thrive. Stam also mentions that De Ligt has the ability to improve and just needs more consistency and confidence, which will come with more game time in a new league.
Amorim is known for his use of a 3-4-2-1 formation at Sporting, occasionally switching to a 3-4-3 or 3-5-2. This formation will also suit United's defensive options, with summer signing Leny Yoro set to return from injury and join Harry Maguire and De Ligt at the back. However, Stam believes that the biggest issue will be in midfield, with questions over which two players will be chosen to partner up.
Ten Hag's departure from United has been compared to Amorim's arrival, as both coaches have a similar background and have been successful in their previous clubs. Stam highlights the importance of respecting the new manager and supporting him, as the club may potentially bring in new players in January to strengthen the team.
In conclusion, while there may be some doubts and uncertainties surrounding Amorim's appointment, Stam believes that he has the potential to bring success to United and De Ligt will have a bright future under his management. As a spokesperson for BetMGM, Stam also encourages fans to participate in the new £1million Golden Goals game this season by correctly predicting Premier League scores.
