The Portuguese manager has been left unimpressed with the intensity displayed by the squad he inherited from Erik ten Hag.
Amorim, known for his tactical precision and high-energy style, has already pinpointed players who may struggle to adapt to his pressing demands.
Reports suggest veteran midfielder Casemiro might face challenges under Amorim’s system, with football pundit Mark Lawrenson predicting difficulties due to the Brazilian’s lack of pace.
While Casemiro’s performances have improved recently, the expectation to press aggressively and maintain a high tempo could leave him at odds with Amorim’s approach.
On the flip side, Amorim’s appointment might spell new opportunities for out-of-favor players like Harry Maguire.
Lawrenson believes Maguire could find a resurgence as the central figure in Amorim’s three-man defense, flanked by faster defenders to compensate for his lack of speed.
As Amorim implements his preferred 3-4-3 formation, the new manager faces a tough balancing act between delivering immediate results and reshaping the squad to suit his vision.
All eyes will be on the Red Devils as they navigate this transitional phase under their new tactician.
