Only 6 wins in 25 Premier League games, but I am still a firm Amorinist

On November 11, 2024, Amorin officially took over Manchester United. The first game he led the team was the 12th round of the league away against the newly promoted Ipswich, and the final result was a draw. From the 12th round of the league on November 24, 2024 to the 36th round of the league on May 12, 2025, we won only 6 games in the 25 Premier League games we coached.

After losing to West Ham United at home 0:2 last week, Amorin told reporters at a press conference: "As the head coach, I am very embarrassed about my current situation. If the results have not improved in the league, I think people who are more suitable should take over the team."

Amorin's coaching performance has been criticized by many domestic commentators, commentators, and some fans watching the game. Some people say that Amorin is too stubborn and does not know how to adapt, while others say that Amorin does not have the ability to lead a large club like Manchester United. The local British media are not gentle about his performance in the Premier League. Former Everton coach Sean Dyche has even made public remarks questioning Amorin in the past two days. In his remarks, he clearly stated that if he becomes Manchester United's head coach, he only needs to use the traditional formation of 442 and give players basic principles and rules, and he will definitely win more. He also said that Amorin would better win some games as soon as possible, and if the team does not change its performance after the start of next season, then I am very interested in this position.

Unlike media and industry practitioners' noise about Amorin, Manchester United clubs and local fans showed great restraint against Manchester United led by Amorin. Ratcliff had clearly stated at the fan meeting in March: the difficulties faced by Amorin in the middle of the game are unfair to him. In the 36th round of Manchester United's home loss to West Ham United, no booing to Amorin in the first half of the game or the entire game. Fans now point the core protests at the Glazer family. They firmly believe that it is because of the misconduct of this American consortium over the past few decades that Manchester United has been in a turmoil for more than a decade. Why is

Amorin worthy of recognition?

Amorin became famous in Portugal Sports. In his first full season, he helped the club win the Portuguese Super League championship that he had been away from for 19 years. And he is well-known to more fans, and he is a 4-1 victory over Manchester City led by Guardiola in the Champions League group stage this season. In this game, Amorin used a three-back system that impressed the fans who have watched this game.

In the current Premier League, only Brentford and Crystal Palace are firmly using the three-back system. The three-back system used by Amorin in Portugal sports requires more running without the ball, more straight passes in the middle and backcourts, and more running cooperation between balls in the middle and frontcourts. If you use one word to describe it, it is: fast. If you use two words to describe it, it is: sharp and fast. This is also the fundamental reason why Manchester City was beaten by the Portuguese Sports score under Amorin's rule.

If you look at Amorin's system in depth, the three central defenders form multiple pass links with the goalkeeper in the middle and backcourt. Once the opponent's players press on high positions, the two players in the midfield will be the first receiver and begin to handle and allocate the midfield ball path. At this time, the players responsible for the two wingbacks in the 3-back system are running more off-ball with the two forwards, creating more passing routes for midfielders. After Amorin took over Manchester United, the wingback who is most suitable for his system is Mazravi, and Dorgu, who has transferred to the winter window, is also fully competent. Dalot, who can leave and right, provides stable support to the team. Captains Bruno Fernandez and Ugat in the midfield are guaranteed to Amorin's victory. In the forward line position, if you follow the 343 position, Amade Diallo on the right is the biggest discovery in the league this year. Garnacho on the left is capable, but he has not adjusted his mentality as two previous head coaches. In the back line, Maguire played the best, the player who was almost swept out of the team by former head coach Teng Hager, had a strong vitality in Amorin's formation.

So according to the way of playing in Portugal sports, Casemiro and Eriksen's physical strength can only be guaranteed to be halftime. Adding to the previous few people, it is a problem to make Amorin form a stable starting 11 players. This is why he had a large number of personnel rotations in every game for almost three months after taking over the team in November last year.

As a young head coach born in 1985, although Amorin's coaching style is very restrained, he is indeed very persistent and passionate about his three-guard system. Just as Amorin’s mentor Mourinho said: No matter who his opponent is, Amorin will not change his playing style.

At the press conference before the 37th round of the match against Chelsea, Amorin corrected his remarks made last week's loss to West Ham United. He said he was still far from leaving the Manchester United head coach, but the team needed a rebound in performance, otherwise the club would make changes. If that is the case, I can accept it.

No matter how many difficulties and setbacks Amorin is currently facing, I am a staunch supporter of Amorinism. Just give him two to three summer transfer windows and complete high-standard signings. I believe Amorin will bring Manchester United back to BIG6 and join the championship team again.
