[4-2-3-1]/[3-4-3]: Ruben Amorim’s two dangerous lineups is revealed as BIG-NAME player is left out

The shift in formation is going to be one of the earliest and most significant changes that Amorim is going to bring about.
Under Ten Hag, the Red Devils generally utilised a 4-2-3-1 formation, although it is anticipated that they would switch to a 3-4-3 formation once their new manager takes over. Let’s have a look at how they can arrange themselves in the new configuration, as well as the potential effects that this could have on the roles that certain individuals play.

Keepers of the goal and defenders

There will be no challenge to Andre Onana’s position as the custodian. Although it is true that he did not get off to the best possible start with Manchester United in the previous season, there is no doubt that he has made a significant impact to the squad this time around. In addition to this, there is a lack of depth in the goalkeeping position, which means that he will continue to maintain his spot on the squad and will be saddled with the responsibility of distributing the ball through short passes.

It is possible that Matthijs de Ligt will take the initiative from the centre position in the three-man backline. He possesses strength in the air, in the body, and on the ball as well. Although it is expected that Harry Maguire will play on the right side, it is possible that Leny Yoro may take his place once he is completely healthy. As a result of playing on De Ligt’s left, Lisandro Martinez will be able to take advantage of his new role, which will allow him to spend more time on the ball and limit the amount of aerial duels he engages in.

Predicted lineups for the match between Manchester United and Leicester

Onana, Mazraoui, De Ligt, Martinez, and Dalot; Ugarte, Casemiro, and Fernandes; Diallo, Rashford, and Hojlund are the substitutes for Manchester United (4-3-3).
