Ruben Amorim surprised by underperforming Man Utd players, identifies those who don't suit his style.

This Sunday, all eyes will be on Ruben Amorim as he takes on his first match as the new manager of Manchester United. Amorim has been busy getting to know his new squad, and so far, he's had a mixed impression. He inherited the team from Erik ten Hag and has been working hard to prepare them for their upcoming game against Ipswich.

The Red Devils are facing a potentially tricky match against Ipswich Town, who are led by their former assistant coach Kieran McKenna. But Amorim is determined to start off on the right foot and has been putting his players through rigorous training sessions this week. He's been working on implementing his preferred 3-4-3 formation and getting his team up to speed.

According to reports, Amorim was taken aback by the lack of intensity and speed shown by the players. This is something he's hoping to change, as the team has had a disappointing start to the season. In fact, Amorim has already identified some players who may not fit into his plans for the future. Former Liverpool defender Mark Lawrenson shares this sentiment and believes that Casemiro may be one of those players.

Lawrenson spoke to Paddy Power and expressed his belief that the entire Manchester United squad will benefit from Amorim's arrival. He even predicted that their stats will improve this weekend, thanks to the new manager's influence. However, he also pointed out that it may take some time for the players to adjust to Amorim's style of play, especially pressing. This could potentially be an issue for players like Casemiro, who may struggle to keep up with the new demands.

But it's not all bad news for the players. Lawrenson believes that Amorim's appointment could be a lifeline for Harry Maguire. As a former defender himself, Lawrenson knows the importance of having a strong and reliable backline. He believes that if Maguire can prove himself to Amorim, he could secure a spot in the team. However, his lack of pace may be a concern, but Amorim may find a way to work around it by placing him in the center of a back three with two faster players on either side.

All in all, it's clear that Amorim's arrival has brought a mix of hope and uncertainty to Manchester United. Fans will be eagerly watching to see how the team performs under his leadership, and whether he can turn things around for the Red Devils.
