Manchester United struggled in the 2025 Premier League season under Ruben Amorim, with team selections, shape, and approach reflecting their uncertain future. Amorim initially emphasized establishing an identity but faced criticism for his rigid tactics. However, in December, he showed flexibility by changing formations, although he later reverted to a back three against Wolves. Sky Sports analyzed six games throughout the season to assess Amorim’s approach, focusing on Manchester United’s changes and readiness to move beyond the back three. The article looks at specific games, such as the curtain raiser against Arsenal and a match against Liverpool, highlighting Amorim’s tactical adjustments and team selection. United played with a rare staunch defense that kept Liverpool out, resulting in their first victory at Anfield in almost a decade. Amorim approached the game with flexibility, using different formations to get the most out of his squad, gaining plaudits for his tactical approach and attacking performance.
