After Manchester United's 0-3 defeat at Bournemouth, former international player Liu Yue took to social media to analyze the Red Devils' plight. He described Amorim's coaching strategy by using the idiom of "watch what you eat", emphasizing the need for coaches to select tactics based on players' qualities. However, the weakness of United's defense on the side of the road makes it difficult for the three center backs formation to work as expected. Although the players were active on the field, the game was chaotic due to the inefficiency of the offense.
Liu Yue also mentioned that Manchester United's reinforcement strategy in the winter transfer window has become particularly complicated. On the one hand, the team is in urgent need of injecting fresh blood to enhance the strength, but the scarcity of potential stars on the market and the transfer fee is expensive, making people hurt. On the other hand, if we don't bring in new recruits, it will put Amorim's coaching ability to a severe test. He must choose whether to adjust tactics to cater to the existing lineup, or stick to his guns in the midst of a losing streak. This kind of "is to change the dish or change the dish" choice, undoubtedly make the road of reconstruction of Manchester United more and more bumpy.
Since Sir Alex Ferguson's retirement, Manchester United's rebuilding journey has been full of challenges, struggles and tears. Amorim, as the new manager, has not been spared either. The brutal competition in the Premier League has made United walk on thin ice every step of the way. Even when things are going well, they may encounter adversity and undercurrents at any time. Therefore, both United and Amorim need to show greater adaptability and tactical intelligence in the coming matches to cope with the tough challenges of the Premier League.
