Manchester United manager makes mistakes – level 1

Manchester United manager makes mistakes

24-09-2025 07:00

Manchester United have a very bad start to the season. Fans and TV experts worry about manager Rúben Amorim before the game with Chelsea.

People say that Amorim uses the same plan all the time. This plan needs fast side defenders and strong centre defenders. United does not have those players now. The team shoots a lot but scores very few goals. Bruno Fernandes cannot play well in the wrong position. The team never wins two league games in a row.

Some people say that Amorim can do well at another club. Others say that he must change his plan, pick the same team each week, and buy better players.

Difficult words: season (the part of the year when sports games happen), defender (a player whose main job is to stop the other team from scoring), in a row (happening one after another).

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

Which two types of defenders does Amorim’s plan require that United currently lacks?
