Ruben Amorim's Manchester United debut ended in a 1–1 draw at Ipswich Town at the weekend, leading some to question his 3-4-3 system's suitability for the Premier League.
Despite the criticism, Amorim's tactics showcased promise with a brilliant team goal after just 81 seconds, though the players struggled at times due to minimal preparation, with only two training sessions under their belt.
The 39-year-old has a track record of success with this formation, having won two league titles at Sporting CP and notably dismantling Manchester City 4–1 in the Champions League earlier this month.
While pundits like Danny Murphy doubt the 3-4-3 can work long-term in the Premier League, Amorim's system is designed to attack aggressively and avoid being pinned back defensively, relying on deeper midfielders to provide balance.
Man United's current challenges stem from player unfamiliarity and lack of physical sharpness, but with time and improved energy levels, Amorim's approach could flourish in the Premier League.
