“Identity” was the key term in Ruben Amorim’s initial interview as Manchester United’s head coach. The Portuguese manager, who joined from Sporting Lisbon in November, mentioned this word six times during his first conversation as United’s boss, emphasizing the need to create a fresh system and style at Old Trafford. This new approach is centered on a three-at-the-back formation with wing-backs. Amorim set it up from the beginning, using a 3-4-3 formation for his debut match against Ipswich Town. In this system, the wing-backs play a crucial role. They are anticipated to move up and down the sides of the field, offer width, participate in attacking plays, and support defensively. Amad was selected as the right wing-back for Amorim’s debut match, while Diogo Dalot took the position on the opposite side. Since Amorim took over, Amad has been the top player for United. Although he has played in the forward line in the last four Premier League matches, Amorim suggested before the 2-0 loss to Newcastle United that Amad might go back to a wing-back position. “I believe Amad could be an option there, but right now we need a left-footed player in front for that role,” he commented. “I work to strengthen the team by incorporating our ideas and utilizing the players’ strengths.” Given the recent evidence, many United fans would be pleased with Amad stepping in as the primary right wing-back. However, now that the January transfer window is open, they are also eager to see a similarly skilled wing-back added for the left side. Tyrell Malacia, Noussair Mazraoui, and Dalot have all occupied that position, but none have excelled, making it a key priority to acquire a left wing-back this month. Ruben Amorim has not yet identified a solution for the left wing-back role. Der Film dreht sich um einen Mann, der mit Drogensucht zu kämpfen hat.
