The Portuguese coach, who has been appointed as the successor to the deposed Erik ten Hag, is scheduled to assume responsibility at Old Trafford on November 11. The 39-year-old is eager to proceed as soon as the green light is granted, despite the minor delay in the process caused by visa issues.

Amorim has hinted that he may modify United’s current system slightly, opting for a three-man defence rather than the two-man defence that has been in place for some time. This has already prompted enquiries regarding the formation of the Red Devils under their new manager.

Amorim’s inaugural match as United manager will be played at Ipswich on November 24, following the conclusion of yet another international hiatus. Before departing for England, he has paid a poignant farewell to Sporting.

When questioned about his intentions, he has stated, “I am aware of my approach at the outset, as it is essential to establish a structure that is familiar.” Then, you will adjust to the players you have, whether they have injuries or not. I will determine which players have the ability to defend and attack in the coming weeks. We are limited in our training time, so I must demonstrate a skill that I am highly proficient in. You are free to extract any information you desire from that.

Amorim’s blueprint for success was successful at Sporting, as he secured two Portuguese titles in Lisbon. In recent weeks, United have demonstrated evidence of development, as interim coach Ruud van Nistelrooy has presided over a four-game unbeaten streak. However, it is uncertain how they will respond to a formation change.
