(3-4-3): Mainoo returns but three more first team players substained injury- Man United’s predicted lineups against Ipswich Town as Ruben Amorim left frustrated after three FIRST TEAM players substained injury during international break

Ruud van Nistelrooy’s temporary tenure as manager of Manchester United came to an end immediately after the club’s 3-0 victory over Leicester City at Old Trafford. Ruben Amorim is anticipated to take over the position in an official capacity in the near future.

Amorim comes to the club with an exceptional reputation, having previously played for Sporting CP, where he implemented a high-intensity 3-4-3 formation that combines a strong defence with a fluid offensive structure. With the intention of achieving an organised and aggressive style that has the potential to alter United’s identity, the Portuguese manager hinted at the possibility of maintaining his favourite configuration.

Here is a look at the starting lineup that Amorim is most likely to use and the strategy that he will employ for United’s match against Ipswich on November 24.

Detailed Explanation of Amorim’s 3-4-3 Formation

Constructing from the Very Back

The method that Amorim employs requires aggressive building from the back, with the custodian serving as an alternative for playmaking. Andre Onana, who is noted for his distribution, would be an important player for United. He would join the backline to create a 3-2 structure when United plays from deep. This brings about stability and ensures that United maintains control even when under strain.

Lisandro Martinez will most likely play on the left side of the back three, Matthijs de Ligt will play in the middle of the pitch, and either Victor Lindelof or Jonny Evans will play on the right side. The ability of Martinez to carry the ball out of the box and the passing range of Lindelof would make it possible for United to break lines and link the defence and the midfield in a fluid manner.

A Double Pivot in the Midfield

The double pivot that Amorim deploys places an emphasis on control and balance. As potential contenders, Casemiro or Ugarte, as well as Christian Eriksen or Kobbie Mainoo, are excellent choices. Casemiro delivers the physicality necessary to win the ball, while Eriksen’s passing and Mainoo’s enthusiasm have the potential to facilitate transitions.

There is a significant lack of a typical No. 10 in this lineup, which means that Bruno Fernandes would most likely play a wide right or left role, moving centrally to generate opportunities or opportunities. Amorim places a high priority on the tactical versatility of his players, and the location of Fernandes would enable United to keep a strong defensive form while simultaneously developing their offensive inventiveness to its fullest potential.
