Amorim, appointed on November 11, debuted with a 1-1 draw against Ipswich Town, where both midfielders struggled to adapt to his dynamic style.
Shearer highlighted Amorim’s shift to a three-at-the-back system, emphasizing the need for more youthful and energetic players to execute the pressing demands.
Amorim’s Long-Term Vision
Acknowledging Amorim’s challenging start, Shearer believes the Portuguese manager requires the rest of the season to revamp the squad and implement his philosophy.
While United showed flashes of brilliance with Marcus Rashford’s early goal, they faltered, allowing Ipswich to equalize through Omari Hutchinson.
United’s Current Standing
Amorim stressed the need for patience, underscoring his commitment to rebuilding United’s identity. The Red Devils sit 12th in the Premier League, a long way from the Champions League spots, underlining the magnitude of the task ahead.
