Fans React to Amorim’s Tactical Struggles
On X (formerly Twitter), Manchester United fans have shared their frustrations over the team's struggles under Ruben Amorim, with many questioning his tactical approach and the players' commitment to his system.
@shadymanc72 expressed frustration, stating,
Who cares what the players think? INEOS don’t, most fans don’t. They are mostly bang average and don’t have what it takes to play for any manager, in any system. Many of them will be on their way in the summer, not a moment too soon either.
Meanwhile, @Brad criticized Amorim's tactics, saying,
Amorim can't hide forever with his park the bus and hoof it upfield tactics with 30% possession every game. No wonder the players are sick of him already.
@Babatunde echoed concerns about United’s defensive approach, noting,
I don’t just get it why we’ll sit back and let opponents dominate us whenever they have the ball in their half without any pressure from our attackers. Winning the ball higher up the pitch really helps a lot but I don't just find our team doing so.
These reactions reflect the growing discontent surrounding the team’s performances and Amorim’s style of play, with fans calling for change and greater pressure on opponents.
