Ruben Amorim has admitted he understands why a number of Manchester United legends have voiced their criticisms of the team, but insisted they are wrong to blame his system.
Amorim brought his 3-4-2-1 formation over with him from Sporting CP but, despite seeing immense results during his time in Portugal, has failed to continue that success in England. He has won just nine of his 33 Premier League games. Many have claimed that miserable form is a direct result of the system.
Wayne Rooney recently unleashed a scathing assessment of Amorim, insisting he no longer recognises his former employers, while Gary Neville and Peter Schmeichel are among those to have questioned Amorim’s decisions as well.
“It’s normal, we cannot run away from the results,” he said in response to the mounting frustrations from famous club figures. “And then you have the baggage from last season. But last season, for me, doesn’t matter.”
Pushed further on comments about his system, Amorim highlighted that those frustrated voices can never be heard talking about the formation when things go right for United as well.
