Manchester United has Ruben Amorim reserved as Successor to Erik ten Hag but how would he prepare the team for a new era at Old Trafford?

Telegraph sport examines Amorim’s potential options and the likely winners and losers if he lands the top job.

3-4-2-1

André Onana
Leny Yoro, Matthijs de Ligt, Lisandro Martinez
Diogo Dalot, Manuel Ugarte, Kobbie Mainoo, Noussair Mazraoui
Bruno Fernandes, Mount Mason
Rasmus Hojlund

Amorim’s preferred system is a 3-4-2-1 with high full-backs and two attacking midfielders or inside forwards who occupy the half-spaces close to a central striker. Center halves and central midfielders will likely be the obvious beneficiaries of such a setup with a double 6 or double 8 or 10 in the middle, which could open the door for forgotten man Mason Mount.

One of the big question marks would be the lack of rhythm in the team. Amorim’s Sporting Lisbon often look like a 4-2-2-2 structure when playing out from the back, with the middle of the three center halves joining the halfway line, although Matthijs de Ligt or Harry Maguire are at the comfortable, neither one nor the other. are mobile, would play such a role remains to be seen. De Ligt’s positioning is also suspect.
