Ruben Amorim is not impressed after an initial assessment of the club's players: Reports

Manchester United have faced challenging times this season, and the Portuguese manager, Ruben Amorim has a monumental task ahead at Old Trafford. He has stepped into a club with a rich history that has underperformed in the last decade, and the team's performances in both the league and the Europa League this season starkly highlight how far they lag behind the top clubs in the world.

Amorim's initial take on Manchester United players 

A recent report indicates that the 39-year-old manager has taken an initial assessment of the Manchester United training sessions and has identified several areas for improvement among the players. According to The Sun, Amorim was surprised by the intensity and speed levels observed in the training environment. 

The manager has come to understand that his role at Old Trafford presents unique challenges that may be greater than he initially anticipated.

This realization aligns with the recent performances of the team, as previous managers like Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Erik ten Hag have faced difficulties in maximizing the potential of the players.

The recent performances of the players have placed Man United in eighth position in the league and resulted in an early exit from the Champions League, finishing at the bottom of their group. As Amorim steps into this role, he faces a significant challenge to guide the Red Devils back to prominence in English football.

With clubs like Liverpool, Manchester City, and Arsenal making notable strides in recent years, Man United needs to harness this opportunity for growth and improvement.

The report from The Sun indicated that during the initial training sessions this week, Amorim repeatedly instructed the players to increase their intensity – and this directive has persisted throughout the week. Casemiro and Marcus Rashford have expressed their appreciation for the training provided by Amorim, highlighting the positive impact it has had on them.

Amorim to play a new formation 

The Portuguese manager is firmly committed to a 3-4-3 formation, and the players must quickly adapt to his style of play and the expectations he has set. 

With a back three established at the club and two wing-backs positioned wide, it is essential to monitor how the players embrace these new strategies and whether they possess the adaptability required to implement them effectively.
