Manchester United’s path ahead looks challenging, with Amorim’s public criticism of individual performances hinting at possible changes in team selection and tactics.
The upcoming matches will be a true test of the squad’s resilience and the manager’s ability to rally his players in difficult circumstances.
As the season unfolds, fans and analysts will closely watch how Amorim navigates these internal struggles and whether he can turn the team’s fortunes around in the Premier League.
His frustration is understandable, given United’s precarious position in the table. Calling out a player, even indirectly, suggests a shift in his approach—perhaps an attempt to provoke a response from the squad.
Zirkzee’s missed opportunity only adds to the frustration, especially with United’s ongoing struggles in front of goal.
However, the bigger issue lies in midfield, where a lack of control and creativity continues to hinder the team. With injuries mounting and Fernandes pushed into a deeper role, Amorim has few viable solutions.
Unless United can address their midfield problems, their struggles will persist, regardless of who starts up front.
Do you think Amorim’s criticism of Zirkzee (if accurate) is warranted, or should he be focusing on the team’s broader tactical shortcomings?
