Ruben Amorim, head coach of Manchester United, shared his belief in his team’s strong performance as of late. He said they “resemble a whole other squad.” This change follows United’s second straight win during the Premier League Summer Series, dispatching Bournemouth 4-1 in their last match. Amorim acknowledged the need for results, but noted that the development of his team’s style of play has come on very quickly.
Amorim touched on the importance of scoring first and how it can build a team’s confidence. He remarked that the focus on goals has previously led to frustrations, stating, “People focus on the goals and we suffer a lot because of the lack of goals.” His comments speak to a greater awareness of the game itself, in which chemistry and cohesion can be just as important—the end result often found on the scoreboard.
The football county’s recent back-to-back wins over Bournemouth and West Ham – both 2-1 scorelines – exemplify an obvious upward curve. Amorim is especially happy with Rasmus, one of his new signings. He thinks Rasmus’s influence has been the most underrated part of the Astros’ revival.
A New Approach
Amorim’s coaching philosophy focuses on more than winning—instead, to winning with style. He stated, “More than the results is the way they are playing. They are playing better because they are connecting better with each other, not just on the pitch, but off the pitch.” This initiative is designed to encourage creativity while developing a collaborative attitude that can translate into success on and off the field.
The head coach admitted that aggression and intensity when competing in games is another focus of growth. “It was a good game. We played with intensity. We were aggressive and that is something that we need to improve from last season,” he said. Putting the emphasis on these attributes is just one piece of a larger plan to raise the performance floor at Manchester United.
Amorim acknowledged that new signings Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha weren’t featured against Bournemouth. He assured everyone that their eventual inclusion would significantly bolster the team. The coach’s faith in his system indicates that it would suit players like Mason Mount ideally in the medium to long term.
Praise from Rivals
Bournemouth’s head coach Andoni Iraola recognized Manchester United’s recent form. In summary, he voiced approval for their signings, but most importantly, that they’ve set themselves up favorably in comparison to Bournemouth. We are very far today from United,” Iraola said, emphasizing the distance between the two clubs.
Iraola’s respect for United’s methodical signings speaks to the increasing recognition of their return to relevance in the league. After experimenting with varying setups and formations, the tactical system Amorim has instilled started to pay dividends, as Sporting produced some excellent performances and results.
Patrick Dorgu, who was impressive last season too, is another that will be looking to develop under Amorim. The coach’s emphasis on player development is evident in his management style, fostering an environment where players can thrive and improve.
Looking Ahead
At the same time, Amorim is focused on maintaining a robust squad that’s collectively focused on competing for titles. His strategic insights and contagious optimism over player performances—especially the young guys—go a long way towards creating a vision that the team is headed in the right direction.
Amorim’s commitment to improving both individual and team performance bodes well for Manchester United’s future. Industry leaders such as Rasmus are taking great strides. With new signings hungry to do damage, the club seems more than prepared to take on the challenges that await.
