Manchester United manager makes mistakes – level 2

24-09-2025 07:00

Manchester United started the Premier League season very badly, and manager Rúben Amorim faces strong criticism before the Chelsea match.

TV experts say Amorim’s tactics don’t match his team, and he keeps using the same formation even when it fails.

Experts explain that the free at the back style needs fast wing-backs and strong centre defenders. United doesn’t have those players now, so the team wins few duels in midfield, and Bruno Fernandes cannot help as he should. The team takes many shots but scores very little, and they never win two league games in a row under Amorim.

Some experts think Amorim will succeed at another club that fits his ideas. Others say he must change his plan, pick a steady eleven, and sign better players soon.

Difficult words: criticism (comments that say what is wrong), tactics (a planned way to play), duel (a fight or contest between two people).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.

What do experts say Manchester United lacks for Amorim’s free-at-the-back style to work effectively?
