I’m not convinced Mazraoui works as a wing back. Has been good defensively, but I don’t see him bursting down the line on the attack. Still, I’d play him over Dalot any day of the week.
I have a bit more appreciation for Ugarte too. He’s young and playing in a new league, mostly in a makeshift midfield two. I’d like to see him alongside Bruno more often. I think they could work if Bruno learns some positional discipline.
Other than that, it would be beyond stupid to sack Amorim without at least giving him a fighting chance to test his system with better players.

I was interested to hear troy deenys take on things yesterday on talksport - never a fan of United but he said Amorim needs a pre season and a couple of buys suitable for what he wants to do- ok that's stating the obvious . but the interesting part was comparing UTD to Crystal Palace- he said Glasner and Amorim are very similar in their style of play but the big difference is e.g Sarr v Garnacho . Sarr said recently Glasner told him no more going out to the touchline you play 10 yards in and you go box to box up one strip of the pitch and that's it- he told Eze exactly the same on the left- as Eze was very central - Now Sarr and Eze are having great seasons and palace are improving -because they have adapted and do plenty of defensive work now and that was Deenys point, if Amorim can get 7 players to play exactly how he wants we will see big improvemnets as he showed with his Sporting team - big question is firstly can players adapt, garnacho, mount, Mainoo were mentioned or can he get the right players in, if he can answer this positively then he thought United could really improve next year .

I get no one wants to lose and we do more often that not this season but there is no point like Amorim said to change how he wants to play short term to look 10 percent better
You play how you want to go from day 1 anyone that doesn’t suit and can’t adapt they are replaced
This group of players have not performed in back 4 for years if it’s been 4-3-3 4-2-3-1 4-4-2 they are simply not good enough
Ten hag came in and threw he system out 2 games in after back to back defeats at the start of the season
We just don’t have woke positions that are key to this system to work yet and it doesn’t help when the forwards don’t score enough.

"We don't have woke positions". The club has problems but DEI is a new one to add to the mix.

What in the blue haze of farce are 'Woke positions'?

How do you no the way Amorin wants to play will be any good surely if players have to adapt so should the manager even in the short term till he gets a couple of players in . So your saying THs much vaunted hugely expensive open heart surgery left the patient flat lined and now Amorin will need hundreds of millions as well to get his "style" up and running couldn't make it up more years in "transition" and excuses for failure rinse and repeat.
