Amorim Stands Firm: Not Even the Pope Would Make Him Change
Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has made it clear that he will not alter his tactical system, even if co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe suggests it. Amorim is facing increasing pressure at Old Trafford, due to Manchester United’s worst Premier League season start in 33 years.
One of the most common criticisms of the Portuguese coach is his attachment to the 3-4-3 system, suggesting that he should opt for a defense of four.
“No, no, no. Nobody. Not even the Pope,” Amorim stated.
