Approaches of Amorym to Tactics with New Players of Manchester United

• Kunia and Mbeyum are considering the attacking possibilities of the team.
• Amorym must take into account new tactical solutions with the new players.
• The choice of the right wing-back will depend on the defensive structure of the team.

In the latest The Athletic, the starting lineup of Manchester United was revealed with Matheus Kunia and Brian Mbeyum. It discusses how these purchases influence the tactical structure of Ruben Amorym.

New Players Change Needs in Attack

The arrival of Kunia and Mbeyum may strengthen the attacking possibilities of the team. However, the club continues to search for a reliable attacker who can connect with the new players. Kunia has played with various attackers at Wolverhampton, but his most successful periods were alongside Jurgen Strand and Larsen, an attacker with a height of 1.93 m, who works well in the penalty area.

The new players love to attack in half-spaces, which reduces the need for central midfielders, who drift to the flanks. The best option for this role could be a physically developed forward who can support the super striker.

Swedish Rasmus Hojlund and Chido Obi are doing their best for this role, but Hojlund has demonstrated problems with movement in the penalty area last season. Another option, Joshua Zirkzee, could fulfill the role of a target striker, helping to free space for Kunia and Mbeyum.

Impact of the New Players on the Midfield

With the arrival of new players, Bruno Fernandes will likely play in a central attacking position. Casemiro, although the best option for the midfield, is already 33 years old and can no longer cover the ground as he used to. Amorym must find a partner for Fernandes, drawing from both strong and weak sides of the super strikers.

Mbeyum Changes the Choice of Right Wing-Back

Mbeyum is set to strengthen the right flank attack. His style requires rethinking the positioning of the right wing-back. Last season, Amorym restructured the full-backs into wing-backs, adapting the players to new requirements. Mbeyum stands out for his speed and ability to support attacking wing-backs.

Choice of Right Wing-Back Related to the Central Midfield

The tactical structure of the team depends on the choice of the right central midfielder. Leni Joro has the speed required for covering large areas, but Amorym can also choose Mazraoui for the right central midfielder based on his experience. If Joro plays poorly, Mazraoui can execute the functions of the right defender, supporting the attack.

Not Easy, But Obvious Problems

The arrival of Kunia and Mbeyum creates new tactical challenges for Amorym. It is important for the team to maintain a balance between attack and defense. A good pre-season can help find optimal solutions for the new players.
