While Ruben Amorim continues his search to breathe new life into Manchester United, a new rule he has introduced in training for the season seems to have an effect
Ruben Amorim has introduced a new rule for training at Manchester United – the losers take all the used equipment that used that day.
The debut campaign of the Portuguese manager after taking over from Erik ten Hag last November turned out to be a disaster. However, it is looking for him in the preseason, where United won the Premier League summer series in the US. They recorded victories at West Ham United and Bournemouth, while also pulling 2-2 with Everton.
Amorim did not cut any corners in his search to transform United, which were criticized so often last season. One of his methods has brought a competitive advantage on training exercises to introduce a more intense environment. And an important factor is the use of stinging for losing teams, where it is normally necessary to pick up the equipment from the training of the day.
United Young Star Toby Collyer has specifically commented on the rule and says the athletics: “Everyone wants to be the team that wins. You don't have to get the equipment. It is a danger if you lose! All other teams must get the equipment.”
Right back Diogo Dalot also discussed how the standards in the preseason were increased compared to the last term. The Portugal International said: “If you want to be in Manchester United, you have to meet some standards. If you can't match them, it's not a place for you. The message is really clear.”
In addition to Amorim's work, it comes to increase the understanding of his preference of his preference 3-4-3 formation. The United Boss refused to admit the last term of his favorite setup, even when the form of the team was at its lowest. And now he doubles.
He puts his defenders back five in his preference, with replacement defenders who stand behind his starters while he shifts them left and right by kicking the ball in a certain part of the field. It can be a time -consuming and difficult process, but Amorim is completely focused on the details.
Another part of the field where United was regularly skipped was in midfield. This season, Amorim believes that his players can dominate the middle of the park.
When asked why he feels so confident, he said: “I think it's time to train. Even the certainty of the movements can help a player to be faster, if you think,” I jump, I don't jump. “
“We train when they have to jump; they already know. Sometimes it's one meter, a second. That's something that is the tactical aspect and the physical aspect.”
United is confronted with an ominous start of the new Premier League campaign. On the first day of the season they organize the Titlejacht Arsenal in Old Trafford for a difficult trip to Fulham the next week.
A collision at home against the newly promoted Burnley is quickly followed by a different collision against Manchester City and then another home game against Chelsea. These games will be the biggest test or Amorim's methods have been absorbed by his players.
