Manchester United is currently facing significant challenges on the pitch, and many attribute this to the squad's restructuring under a completely new tactical approach. Experts are questioning whether this is the right time for such changes.
Details: Former West Ham manager Slaven Bilic has expressed support for Manchester United's coach Ruben Amorim, but simultaneously stated that he doesn't understand the need to play with wing-backs right now, as the team simply lacks such players.
Quote: “I've already told you, he's proven his worth. He's a newcomer to the Premier League, but Amorim did his job at Sporting, and he didn't just win a title in a year by luck or because Benfica and Porto had an off year. So give him time, and he will succeed. But right now, he's facing difficulties.
I support every manager, but if you don't have wing-backs, why play that way? When I watch Manchester United, they've never played with three defenders. They've always played with good defenders and good wingers. Always. But now, if you don't have the players, what's the point?” Bilic stated in an interview with talkSPORT.
Reminder: Previously, Amorim stated that winning the Europa League is not his top priority right now. For him, building a serious project for the future is significantly more important.
