The Amorin-United combination has now reached four games. An opening draw with Ipswich Town, a narrow 3-2 win at Bodo Glint and a 4-0 win at Everton have been the last two, with a 2-0 defeat to Arsenal and a 2-3 home defeat to Forest. So, the honeymoon period for Amorin is over.

If you look at all the matches, the common denominator is that United are still far from establishing a solid midfield and a sharp attack, and that individual mistakes are still too much, and that they are still leaving a lot of space at the back when the ball is lost from the field.

It is natural for teams like Ipswich Town to struggle when they press hard and play. Despite winning against Bodo, United were equally as quick to attack. Even against Everton, United's defence was still giving them chances. Against Arsenal, there was clearly a problem with the transition from midfield to attack, from the second half of the pitch to the third. The attack was completely dead and goals were conceded through 𝐒𝐞𝐭-𝐩𝐢𝐞𝐜𝐞.

The same was true against Forest. They conceded goals from corners, from poor defending and from individual mistakes. If it was Onana's mistake, it was a free kick that the defence gave away, and Onana's mistake was a big one, not being able to defend that kind of ball. So United's problem is going to be a much more difficult one for Amorin. And the problems are not limited to that. Within days, United had sacked director of football Dan Ashworth. It was over his decision to keep Eric Tendulkar at the end of last season, but there was more to it than that. It was also reported that Ashworth was responsible for the signing of Zaza, so it is safe to say that he has been held accountable for his poor decisions.

But Ashworth's dismissal will not solve many problems. For example, the cost-cutting measures that have been causing problems for fans. The redundancies at the start of the year, the increase in the price of seats for the disabled, the increase in the price of children's tickets. These have led to a clash between fans and the club, which has led to protests.

When Amorin was called up, it was the club's CEO Omar Barada who went to Sporting to make the decision. In fact, the decision to bring in Amorin was made by director of football Dan Ashworth, so it seems that there was a disagreement among the board. There also seems to be disagreement over player signings.

When Amorin was appointed, he insisted that he would play a 3-4-3, so the current players will have to follow this formation. The ability to change here is something that professional players can do if they are willing. The way they play from the wing and the way they play from the inside is different, but the wingers can play comfortably. However, the problem with United is that many of their players are so-called "one-off" players.

For example, Anthony, Gareth Bale, Rashford, etc., are eager to play in their own strengths and are reluctant to change. Casemiro and Eriksen are too old to change. Eriksen is also a completely outdated player. So, United's players are full of players like Ahmed Diallo who are playing the same game as they are, and those who are reluctant to change, and those like Bruno Fernandes who have a limited game to change.

So, for United, we need to filter out the people who will be convenient for Amorin from the current squad and prioritize the two people who will be the main needs next winter, who will be convenient to bring in and improve the team's game. This also means that they can only buy if there is a sale due to the current financial regulations and the transfer arrears left from United's purchase mistakes.

In fact, what led to Dan Ashworth's departure due to Sergej Ratklik's dissatisfaction was not only his continued support for Erik ten Hag, but also the summer transfer budget that Erik ten Hag was involved in. But last summer's signings, De Ligt, Yoro, Ugate, and Mazavari, will also work in Amorin's system.

Next winter, it is believed that Amorin will be the main player in the system and will try to fill the left-back position, which is desperately needed by the team, and for now, the team will have to take some time to settle in.
