'Legends' was Roy Keane's harsh criticism. Coach Hoobeng Amorim, who took the helm of Manchester United, struggled from his debut. Manchester United drew 1-1 in the 12th round of the English Premier League in the 2024-2025 season against Ipswich at Portman Road in Ipswich, England on the 25th (Korea time). Manchester United, which only added one point, ranked 12th with 16 points (4 wins, 4 draws, 4 losses). However, the gap with second-place Manchester City (23 points) is only seven points.
This match drew attention as coach Amorim's debut match. Manchester United said goodbye to manager Erik ten-Hach, citing poor performance. Coach Amorim, a young master who used the era of success in Sporting CP, was recruited in a surprise move.
There were even variables ahead of the game. It was a storm 'Bert'. The storm, which was accompanied by strong winds, heavy rain, and heavy snow, issued weather warnings in most areas. Roads were closed, rail services were suspended, and Manchester United fans struggled on the road.
Manager Amorim used the unique 3-4-3 formation he used in Sporting. Marcus Rashford was on the front line, while Bruno Fernandes and Alejandro Garnacho stood on the left and right. Casemiro and Christian Eriksen stood in the midfield, while Ahmad Diallo and Diogo Dalot played wingbacks. The three backs were formed by Nusair Mazraoui - Matthijs Diricht - Johnny Evans. Andre Onana wore goalkeeper gloves.

In the second half, Manchester United continued to struggle. Liam Delap's heel kick shot seemed to lead to a goal in the 7th minute of the second half, but goalkeeper Onana saved the team. United managed to win a 1-1 draw.
After the game, Amorim said "Everyone talks about 3-4-3 but the system is just the system" You have to take risks to win the game. Otherwise, we will have the same problem next year.' "You have to do a lot of things in understanding the game," he said.
Keane made a similar point. Keane added "The team changed, but the problems were the same"There is a big problem with Manchester United. At the club level, the problem has not stopped. "Amarim only had a week to train," he said. "I should give him time, but he didn't score a goal and lacked quality." Finally, he said "It was a short week to learn a lot, but Amorim must have been disappointed as well."
